This course explores two critical aspects of mass timber projects: construction strategies and accurate costing. With an emphasis on the general contractor’s role, it will cover: (1) How contractors can meet the growing demand for mass timber buildings, including an overview of product types, connection strategies, pre-construction coordination, and installation best practices, (2) How to address safety considerations, and achieve schedule efficiencies unique to mass timber, and (3) Methods for pricing, bidding, and project delivery, along with resources to help design teams clarify costs and make informed decisions.

This unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Portland State University’s new Schnitzer School of Art + Design in Oregon.

Attendees will tour the site with members of the project team, who will share strategies for successful, code-compliant mass timber projects, including insight on design, detailing, and construction techniques utilized throughout the building.
