🏢 Oregon's First Public-Private Partnership Courthouse 📚 A Mass Timber P3 Project 🌏 Oregon City, Oregon   "Plans for a new courthouse in Clackamas County, expected to be completed by spring 2025, have been in discussion since 1963. The county’s growing population underscored the need for an upgraded facility, but funding obstacles delayed progress for decades. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the situation, stalling the project as costs rose, leading officials to explore alternative delivery approaches to bring the project to fruition." - PCL Construction   🌲 Wood Design Specs: #Glulam 3-ply #CLT Beams & Columns   ✅ Mass timber plays a central role in the Clackamas County Courthouse's trauma-informed design by bringing natural tones and textures into the building.   ✅ The new design includes 16 courtrooms, 20 judicial chambers, offices for the district attorney, secure holding cells, and better transfer facilities.   ✅ The design incorporates exposed mass timber to elicit a biophilic emotional response, which can ease stress, enhance focus, and improve psychological health.   🏆 Social Infrastructure Deal of the Year at the IJGlobal Awards 2022   👷🏽 Partners: HOK PLACE Catena Interface Mazzetti Honeywell DLR Group Plenary Group Gilbane Construction SRG + CannonDesign Andersen Construction Sustainable Northwest Fengate Asset Management PCL Construction Services Inc Renderings Courtesy of SRG + CannonDesign (If you know any other project partners, please tag them in the comments below 👇) . . . . #CrossLaminatedTimber #MassTimberConstruction #Construction

Mass Timber Myth #2 Mass Timber is ONLY for Large Buildings. Here's 2 projects that put it to rest. For years, mass timber was seen as a material for huge, high-profile projects—urban high-rises, innovation hubs, and flagship public buildings. 🚫 That’s outdated thinking. Mass timber scales. It’s proving itself in modular homes, workforce housing, ADUs, and small commercial buildings across North America. We look at two examples busting the myth: 📊 Matt’s Place (WA) → Modular mass timber homes built for accessibility & sustainability. ✔️ Mass Timber cut framing time to days ✔️ Prefab systems minimize site labor ✔️ In its 3rd iteration 📊 Timber Age Homes (CO) → Affordable, high-performance housing using locally harvested mass timber. ✔️ Panels drop into place in 2-3 days ✔️ Cost-competitive structural shell costs ✔️Designed for efficiency, affordability, & carbon reduction The bottom line? Mass timber isn’t just a big-building material—it’s a high-performance, design-flexible system that can work at any scale. 🔜 Next up: Myth #3 - "You Already Need to Be a Specialist to Design & Build with Mass Timber." Make sure you don’t miss it—subscribe to the Mass Timber Times Newsletter.

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.
