1) How to reduce installation time with prefabricated modular stair core components, improving project efficiency.
2) Understand the structural performance of Timber Core and how it integrates into mass timber designs.
3) How Timber Core contributes to sustainability metrics, carbon sequestration, and eco-friendly building solutions.
Russ Brotnov | CEO and Founder of Carpentry Plus Inc, has completed 70 Mass Timber projects to date. Now their next chapter is revolutionizing stair cores.
Timber Core is a precision-engineered, modular stair core system designed to replace traditional stair core systems. Built from CLT and glulam components, Timber Core installs rapidly—each module setting in about an hour—providing immediate, code-compliant access across all floors of the construction project.
Engineered for strength, their cores meet rigorous fire, seismic, and wind standards while reducing embodied carbon compared to traditional concrete or steel cores. Prefabrication ensures accuracy, minimizes waste, and accelerates timelines, delivering a smarter, more efficient, and sustainable stair core solution for modern building projects.
The presentation showcases its benefits in modern construction, highlighting real-world applications and industry advancements.
