Providing homebuyers with options, including the material used in the construction of their new homes, is something the homebuilding and land development industry always strives to do. Some homebuyers choose a wood construction home, for various reasons. Wood has a natural beauty that makes it warm and inviting. It is a renewable and recyclable resource, so some buyers choose it to reduce their environmental footprint. Wood also makes for fast, efficient home construction, particularly on smaller sites. Plus, advances in wood science and building technology have resulted in stronger products that have expanded the options for wood construction. Wood’s many advantages were the reason BILD and partners like the Ontario Home Builders’ Association advocated for amendments to the Ontario Building Code to increase the height standard for wood buildings from four to six storeys.
