Mass Timber Project Management
Mass Timber Cost Planning and Value Engineering
We support mass timber projects from early concept through design development with reliable cost planning and analysis. Services include conceptual budgets, structural system comparisons, quantity take-offs, and evolving cost models. Our timber expertise enables targeted value engineering that maintains structural performance while improving project economics.
3D Modeling, Engineering, and Project Coordination
Coordinated 3D models support mass timber design, clash detection, shop drawings, and CNC fabrication. Detailed drawings define connections, tolerances, and trade integration. We coordinate delegated timber engineering and work closely with project teams to maintain sequencing, communication, and efficient installation of prefabricated timber systems.
Estimating & Budgeting
We provide mass timber estimating including conceptual budgets, system comparisons, quantity take-offs, and cost modeling during design development, supporting value engineering and cost certainty.
BIM & Design Coordination
We develop coordinated 3D BIM models to support mass timber design, clash detection, shop drawings, CNC fabrication, and model sharing with project teams.
Mass Timber Shop Drawings
Detailed shop drawings define all mass timber components, including connections, tolerances, and interfaces, ensuring accurate fabrication and integration with other trades.
Engineering & Delegated Design
We coordinate delegated engineering with experienced timber engineers, ensuring designs align with fabrication, budget, schedule, and constructability requirements for mass timber construction.
Estimating and Budgeting
Our team develops early-stage budgets, compares structural systems, and prepares quantity take-offs and cost models, helping guide value engineering and improve financial predictability in mass timber projects.
CAD Modeling & BIM Coordination
We create and refine 3D BIM models to coordinate mass timber systems, enabling clash detection, shop drawing development, CNC data integration, and alignment across project teams.
Shop Drawings
Coordinated shop drawings document all mass timber elements, including connections and tolerances, supporting fabrication accuracy and seamless integration with adjacent building systems.
Engineering and Delegated Design
We engage specialized timber engineers to deliver delegated design solutions aligned with project requirements, ensuring structural performance, constructability, and compatibility with fabrication and installation processes.
mass timber project management services
Our glulam products have supported a wide range of mass timber projects, helping architects, engineers, and contractors deliver high-performance structures. These case studies highlight representative projects where our beams and columns played a key structural role, demonstrating engineered timber’s versatility, efficiency, and architectural impact, while reflecting our ability to support projects from early concept through design development with reliable cost guidance and value-driven solutions.
