Multiple Climates
In this session, Lisa Podesto of Lendlease presents on the economics of mass timber construction and poses the question: When does mass timber make sense? Touching on projects from around the world but with a focus on the US, she uses structural typologies and built examples to provide guidance on evaluating and managing costs. She identifies specific market/project conditions that mass timber can address, including labor shortages, schedule constraints, and performance requirements, and explains how the value proposition differs from system to system.
This webinar will be of interest to a wide audience within the building industry, in particular architects, designers, contractors, and developers who are interested in learning about the design and construction of mass timber enclosures.
You’ll Learn About:
1. Compare mass timber systems to other structural systems in terms of typical costs and performance characteristics.
2. Recognize structural typologies that can be used to broadly understand design options and associated costs.
3. Identify features of mass timber that can address specific project goals and constraints.
4. Differentiate between mass timber design options in terms of their impact on project costs.
5. This course will be of interest to a wide audience within the building industry, in particular architects, designers, contractors, and developers who are interested in learning about the design and construction of mass timber enclosures.
