Mass Timber Construction

Mass timber construction is the off-site manufacture and on-site assembly of laminated timber components to form building structures and building enclosures. Mass timber construction allows us to construct comfortable and sustainable buildings quickly, safely and economically.

The construction sector is responsible for 19% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and around 50% of the UK’s CO2 emissions. Whilst inroads have been made to reduce the carbon impact of using buildings, we also need to reduce the carbon impact of the buildings themselves – we need to find a better way to build our buildings. Mass timber construction enables us to build buildings with a reduced carbon footprint due to the materials and processes employed. It also enables us to build buildings with a net zero carbon footprint due to the carbon sequestered in the building structure. Mass timber construction enables us to construct the buildings we require without destroying the environment we live in. Mass timber construction is the future of construction, it is also our future.

Whilst we are perhaps best known for our innovative use of CLT, our mass timber building structures are invariably the product of more than one type of material and manufacturer since we select our materials according to the particular requirements of the project and aspirations of the client.
