How is mass timber a fit for multi-family housing? With the assumption that mass timber is often more expensive than other building materials, it may also be assumed that it only makes sense for one-off projects where innovation is celebrated but repeatability is not. This seminar will breakdown how mass timber multi-family projects make financial sense in the 4-6 story range, when used in conjunction with light-frame systems. We’ll also look at new opportunities the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) creates for mass timber housing in the 6-18 story range.
