Mass timber is transforming the construction industry with its combination of sustainability, aesthetic appeal and structural performance. The global mass timber construction market is projected to grow from $857 million in 2021 to $1.5 billion by 2031, reflecting its increasing adoption and impact. Mass timber encompasses engineered wood products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), glue-laminated timber (glulam) and nail-laminated timber (NLT), which are crafted to offer exceptional load-bearing capacity and structural integrity. Its rise in popularity is driven by its eco-friendly qualities, including lower carbon emissions and energy efficiency, as well as its distinctive visual appeal. Mass timber also offers design versatility, fast construction, biophilic and wellness advantages, and community and societal benefits. Taking full advantage of mass timber’s benefits requires careful consideration throughout the construction lifecycle.
