CLT Toolbox Launches USA/Canada Beta Program

Exciting news—we're officially launching the CLT Toolbox beta program for engineers across USA & Canada!

At CLT Toolbox we're on the mission to build tools to enable the profitable design of timber buildings.

We've dedicated a third of our resources to USA/Canada over the last 12-months—turning a long-anticipated milestone into reality. At the same time, we've collaborated with industry-leading experts to shape a product poised to advance the industry.

In this beta program, engineers will have access to the latest timber engineering tools available today (like basic member design), as they develop (like advanced connection detail design) & discounted licensing options for those who want first access.

Check out this short launch video to see what's coming your way!

What's Coming In The Beta Program

Over the next six months, beta participants will not only enjoy exclusive access to these advanced calculators but will also play a crucial role in refining their features and functionality.

This Beta Program is perfect for engineers who:

• Who want access to the latest timber engineering tools across member design & connections,
• Who want to actively contribute feedback to address industry challenges,
• Happy to get discounted licensing now and into the future.

Spots are limited and will be allocated based on suitability and timing—apply today to help shape the future of mass timber construction!

We've already completed our first USA/Canada product release with more information below. Finally, you can come learn more at the International Mass Timber Conference at booth 940.
