OSB vs Plywood 🏠: The debate continues! Both have their pros. Plywood is known for strength, while modern OSB can sometimes outperform it. Choosing the right material depends on your project needs, budget, and engineer specs. OSB is often more affordable, helping keep housing costs down. Don't rely on old biases—research and choose what's best for your build. #ConstructionTips #BuildingMaterials #OSBvsPlywood #HomeBuilding #AffordableHousing #DIYProjects #realestate #property #flipping

Let’s talk about mass timber! This innovative building material is made by layering wood panels and bonding them under high pressure to create strong, durable pieces that can be used for walls, floors and structures. What’s even more impressive? It’s as strong as steel and concrete but far more sustainable. And when it comes to safety, mass timber is a top performer. Its dense structure means it chars on the outside during a fire, protecting the core and maintaining its strength, making it both fire-resistant and long-lasting. By choosing mass timber, builders are creating structures that are not only strong but also better for the environment.
