What You'll Learn

1. Understand the advantages of using Mass Timber in Offsite Modular Construction, including compliance with A/E code requirements, improved speed of construction, and cost mitigation.

2. Learn the design sequence and key deliverables necessary for success in modular Mass Timber projects, with access to a detailed digital outline for each phase.

3. Gain insights into the unique approach to design for manufacturing, including how to evaluate existing designs for modular feasibility using a dedicated scorecard.

This session provides an in-depth look at the essential design strategies and requirements for successfully integrating Mass Timber into modular construction projects. Attendees will gain insight into navigating permitting, manufacturing, and field construction challenges while leveraging best practices to streamline execution.

Through real-world case studies, we will highlight critical dos and don'ts at each phase of the A/E design process and discuss opportunities for standardizing designs to benefit all stakeholders in offsite construction.

Additionally, attendees will receive digital resources, including a feasibility scorecard and detailed design phase outlines, ensuring they leave with practical tools to implement immediately.

Whether you're new to Mass Timber or Modular development, or a seasoned professional seeking innovation at the intersection of these two building technologies, this session will equip you with actionable insights.
