The 1st of 5 myths that need to die. Myth #1: "Mass Timber is ALWAYS More Expensive" This outdated belief comes from looking at materials in isolation—but that’s not how real project costs work. The smartest teams compare entire building systems, factoring in speed, labor, foundations, and finishes. And when they do, the numbers can tell a different story. We look at 3 buildings to unpack these points: 📊 1510 Webster (Oakland, CA) → Saved $30M by leveraging mass timber’s speed, efficiency, and lighter structure. 📊 Platte Fifteen (Denver, CO) → Cut 3.5 months off the schedule vs. concrete. 📊 Return to Form (Denver, CO) → Pre-construction analysis showed total costs within 0.2% of concrete—with faster delivery and premium aesthetics as a bonus. The bottom line? Smart teams look at total project costs—not just materials. . . . 🔜 Next up: Myth #2 - "Mass Timber is ONLY for Large Buildings."

Networking doesn’t have to suck. Especially for introverts. In fact, it can actually be fun. When you picture a networking event, what comes to mind? Does your heart sink? Would you rather be anywhere else? Is your first stop the drink bar, where you wait awkwardly in line, hoping the magic juice makes this all a little more bearable? Does the food look like it came from a gas station hot bar? Does the cramped office setting make you uncomfortable? Do you dread... - Awkward conversations you can’t escape? - Dodging the guy who pitches before he listens? - Counting down the minutes until you can leave? Yet, despite all that, you know networking is necessary to grow your career, build relationships, and land new opportunities. So you sigh, put on a half-baked smile, and start the small talk anyway? Yeah... we’ve been there too. But what if instead... You actually WANTED to be there. No forced smiles, no dread—just real connections with people who get you. You were EXCITED to show up. Because you knew the conversations would be meaningful, not just mindless chit-chat. Your FREINDS were there. Or at least, people who felt like friends—not walking sales pitches. There was no awkward small talk. No "So... what do you do?" on repeat. Just real, engaging discussions. The food didn’t suck. No sad mini sandwiches or cold, dry meatballs in a crockpot—actual, lip-smacking good grub. No suffocating office vibes. Think open spaces, fresh air, and venues you’d visit just for fun. And no countdown to escape. Because you’re not just enduring it—you’re actually enjoying it. That’s why we do networking differently. We’ve been to too many events where we felt like outsiders—trapped in awkward conversations, forced into stiff, uncomfortable spaces, or just waiting for the moment we could sneak out. So we flipped the script. At the Mass Timber Group Summit, networking isn’t about forced small talk or collecting business cards. It’s about real connections, genuine conversations, and an atmosphere that doesn’t drain the life out of you. Designed for AEC professionals who want to connect —not just schmooze. Conversations that flow naturally —no cringey icebreakers required. Vibes that feel energizing and welcoming —not stiff and corporate. With great food, great drinks and zero pressure. At the Mass Timber Group Summit, networking isn’t something you endure—it’s something you enjoy. If that sounds like your kind of event, let’s talk.

120-foot clear spans - with just timber? Finish ready without extra framing? Beats all-steel buildings on cost? And it all comes in a kit? YES. That's what Bruce Preston and the Eco Span Building Systems team are doing. Timber buildings that out-perform pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) - especially in long clear-span applications. The cherry on top? They're finish ready without additional framing needed. Excited to help Bruce with a new website and get these high performing systems in front of more people. And it's only a sneak peak at what's coming! See what he's doing in the warehouse, agricultural, commercial and shop space - its impressive. https://lnkd.in/gPu_AvvA

Fire salvage and restoration should not be controversial topics. If you are a small wood lot owner, wouldn't you want to turn dead tress into revenue to help replant and restore your property? What is the alternative? Stacking the wood and allowing it to decompose? Chipping it? Landfill? Shouldn't the same questions be asked of our public land recovery? We immediately salvaged the 5800 acres impacted by the Beachie Creek fire and replanted 3.5 million seedlings within 2 years. The dead trees went into wood products for US consumers. If you drive East on Hwy 22, look around check out the dead trees still standing.

🦅 A Soaring Mass Timber Canopy 📝 The Vesterheim Commons in Iowa 📰 Here's what we learned from the project team:   The goal was to seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary design.   👉🏼 The masonry-clad addition, extending the scale of the existing 19th-century structures along Water Street, conceals a remarkable secret within its walls: a mass timber frame fabricated in Albert Lea, Minnesota.   👉🏼 The exposed interior structure showcases Douglas fir & Western Red Cedar & the canopy has Alaskan Yellow Cedar.    👉🏼 The Commons also creates a central outdoor gathering space, unifying the campus and extending Vesterheim’s Heritage Park with Water Street.   ♻️ Vesterheim Commons stands as visionary design, with respect for cultural heritage, and a commitment to sustainable building practices can converge to create a truly exceptional place. The innovative use of mass timber not only significantly reduces the building's environmental footprint but also imbues it with a tangible warmth and character that deeply resonates with the cultural narratives it safeguards. This project is far more than an addition; it represents reinvigoration of Vesterheim’s enduring mission, seamlessly connecting the past with the future and fostering meaningful connections between the local community and a global audience.   📰 Read the full article to see what the #AEC and mass timber teams had to say about their experience working on this magnificent project. . . . ❓ What project should we cover next?
