A few weeks ago, our very own Nick Milestone participated in a very interesting panel at #IMTC. I'm not just telling you that to give you FOMO (though we did have a great time at the show). I'm telling you because Daily Journal of Commerce Oregon has written an article to share key insights from panelists. These include: - Mass timber projects can be built 20% quicker and 11% cheaper than those with traditional materials. - However, while mass timber is extraordinarily beneficial, we recognize it's not a silver bullet. Steel and concrete still have their place in construction. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3wb5XmT

There’s a common misconception that eco-friendly mass timber buildings are significantly less safe against fire than concrete or steel buildings. However, fire protection engineers ensure that these structures are fire-tested and conform to the building code. In this webinar excerpt from our “Cutting Carbon” series, SGH’s Kevin M. Black, P.E. outlines the different layers of a mass timber structure and the methods we use to ensure they are fire-protected. https://lnkd.in/ernUgytw
