Mass Timber: What's Next?!

June 2022

The good news is that the whole event is already available for free on our website!!
All the five speakers gave great speeches and the final Q&A session was fantastic. So Patrick, Paul, John, Philipp and Greg: thank you!!!

DfMA is not just "Design for Manufacturing and Assembly" but is much more than that, and we will try to explore all the different meanings in the next few months. Some important keywords are: digital model, timber seen as a digital material, information sharing, detailing, collaboration, holistic, on-site problems prediction. All of these can be seen as a way to value engineer the project, lower the risk and make timber the most cost-effective solution to go for.

Who can do this? Who has the skills to do this?
There's just one answer: the timber engineers! And you should think of hiring one from the very early stage of the project.

Pavilion design

Did you know that timber is probably the best material to be used for pavilions? We talk about demountability, quick assembly, logistics.
