Mass timber needs steel, and steel needs mass timber. This session is a panel on hybrid mass timber construction: where CLT, glulam, and cold formed steel contribute to industry growth, and why hybrid systems are how mass timber scales in North America.
What You’ll Learn:
- What actually drives cost in a mass timber building
- How to control fiber volume and connection design
- Why standardizing connections and erection the way the steel industry already has with AISC is the next step
- How composite crews of ironworkers and carpenters erect mass timber faster and safer than a single trade

Cost per square foot doesn't work for mass timber. So how do you know if a project pencils before you spend a year and a small fortune?
Mass timber projects succeed or fail on the design decisions made early. Member sizing and bay geometry drive structural performance, fabrication cost, and erection speed.
Join this expert panel as industry leaders explore how hybrid mass timber construction is shaping the future of building in North America.
This session explores the growing shift from site-built construction to factory-driven delivery in mass timber projects.
In the 5 to 10 story accommodation market (hotels, student housing, residential, social housing), light frame wall systems can't reach that height leaving concrete as the default.
