This webinar will cover two new free online tools developed by the Canadian Wood Council: CodeCHEK and FRR & STC Tool. Register today! CodeCHEK helps designers to determine if and when lightweight wood-frame, heavy timber, mass timber and/or encapsulated mass timber construction can be used, and to determine the applicable construction requirements related to fire safety in Sections 3.1 and
What does it take to efficiently engineer and build mass timber buildings? How can timber be integrated into a project so that the structure is cost-competitive, while still maintaining the architectural vision, elegance and quality? We will explore these questions and also look at the features and key design parameters when using DLT, the all wood mass timber product. Larger
Melissa will discuss the role of the specialty structural engineer in glulam connection design for your project. Tips will be provided to help streamline the work of the project architect and engineer of record, and also highlight specific detailing situations to help construction run more smoothly. Glulam fabrication will be discussed: from chisels to CNC machines. Some examples will be
As opportunities to use Heavy and Mass Timber in construction surge, contractors, developers and designers need to understand how best to estimate costs. Designs with these materials vary greatly from frame construction and require different approaches to costing the structural elements as well as determining the whole building costs which incorporate electrical, mechanical, plumbing and envelope components. This series brings experienced designers, manufacturers, installation trades, developers and general contractors together to share their knowledge with their colleagues. If you're contemplating building or bidding on a building using these innovative materials, this series will provide essential informational about the Tips, Tricks and Traps of costing wood buildings.
