Mass Timber Market Updates - Jan 2022 - Week One

In this week's episode, Stephanus van der Westhuyzen, a
structural engineer at Zutari, has carried out a research study
on the economic viability of multi-storey mass timber buildings
in South Africa, focusing on a development cost comparison
between mass timber frame and reinforced concrete frame building.
Safety can be further enhanced if you use timber that has been
treated with a specialist flame retardant, which will provide the
material with an invisible shield to help protect against fire.
The Edison, a 15-story building with around 200 units coming to
1005 N. Edison St., will take about 16 months to complete, with a
goal to be open by late summer 2023. Beginning in April,
Mitsubishi Estate Co. will sell single-story houses made
exclusively from Japan-grown timber. Construction of the new
Terminus at District 56 commercial building has been completed in
Langford, B.C. Structurlam Mass Timber Corporation worked on the
five-storey mass timber post-and-beam building in partnership
with Design Build Services and Aspect Structural Engineers. 
A new article from Paul Kremer, our founder, for the New Year!
Welcome to 2022. Paul writes " There are several large companies
around the world focusing on mass timber construction as a viable
alternative solution in meeting corporate sustainability
objectives and measures in property development. Be it, a
corporate head office, a campus building, or even a retail
shopping precinct, the evidence is mounting that mass timber
solutions are a pivotal and necessary response to meeting the
reductions of C02 emission in construction, and beyond." Find out
why they are changing the way we all construct.
