?????????? ???????? #???????????????????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ???????????Here's what 1000+ #AEC & #Developer?teams said they needed from the industry.?? ?? We talked to A LOT of people this year leading up to the 2024 MTG Summit.?? ?? Some were industry leaders, some had a few projects under their belt.??? ?? Many were just getting started.??? ?? ?? ?Why does this matter??? ?? Want more #masstimber buildings? We need more #masstimber?practitioners.?? ?? That means helping AEC & Developer teams get the resources they need to?participate.?? ?? ?? We identified the most common requests by profession AND the #1?answer shared by all.?? ?? ?? ? So, what do they need? ??? ?? Based on those 1000+ conversations, and direct feedback from 262 Summit attendees, here's what we found.??? ?? ?????????????????????? We found a fairly even mix between teams looking to get started, and teams looking to improve upon their existing?experience?and knowledge.??? ?? ? Basic information to get started, and advanced knowledge on best practices around design/detail strategies and pricing practicalities were the most common requests.??? ?? ??????????????????? The engineers we spoke with were the most up-to-speed profession on #masstimber.??? ?? ? They were interested in the latest trends, advancements and solutions to common problems. Code, costs, cores, connections, & in-depth technical content were most cited.?? ?? ?????????????????????????? Most of these teams were looking at if/how to?fold #masstimber?into their businesses.??? ?? ? Market trends and state of the industry were highly referenced. Nuances of working with mass timber and best practices to be successful were a close second (particularly in housing applications).?? ?? ??????????????????/????????????? Public and private sector developers had similar learning objectives.?? ?? ? Notably but perhaps unsurprisingly, risk management (procurement & nuances) and cost/viability stood out. Housing applications were a focal point of the Summit, and these teams were highly interested in the economics of private market pro-forma driven feasibility.?? ?? ?? ? But all these teams had 1 overwhelmingly common request ???? ?? ?? A community of like-minded people to engage with and learn from.??? ?? ?? It was the #1?response in every single category.??? ?? ?? What's our takeaway??? ?? Community building and engagement will help with every requested area.?? ?? Creating spaces to teach, learn and connect are important for recruiting new teams into the #masstimbermovement.?? ?? That’s what these teams are looking for.?? ?? That's what we as an industry need to support.??? ?? ?? ?? We're giving it our best shot with this annual event, our podcast & newsletter.??? ?? If you want to be involved, visit the links on our page.?? ?? And if you couldn't make the Summit this year, check out this video recap to see what it's all about.? - Nic Wilson & Brady Potts?? ?

?? Time to Rethink the Banking Experience. ?? Check out what makes this project shine with 100% #wood. ? ??? Project: Live Oak Bank campus in Wilmington, N.C ? ?? "Because the bulk of the Live Oak Bank’s business is transacted and serviced online, you won’t find a marble lobby, teller windows, or drive-up ATMs. What you will find is an emphatic emphasis on employee health and wellness with abundant natural light, easy outdoor access, fitness and dining amenities, broadly-accessible technology, all cast in the natural warmth and familiarity of wood." - ThinkWood ? ??

"Looking into the future, Brookhaven City Hall will be a case study in mass-timber development and how to meaningfully connect a project of its scale and complexity to the broader community," said Selina Schulten, President at Barnsley Construction Group ? A city hall with all this? An atrium, retail and restaurant space, event space and catering kitchen, & a rooftop terrace. ? ?? Design Specs: 4 Stories Type III-A Made with #CLT and #GLT Timber Frame and Post & Beam "Designed by the Sizemore Group to achieve WELL and LEED certification, the building prominently features a three-story atrium with a skylight that is positioned in the center of the structure.
