WASHINGTON, DC—With today’s release of the Mass Timber Insurance Playbook – U.S. Edition, developers, design/construction professionals, and insurers in the United States now have a comprehensive framework for working together to resolve challenges that impact the insurability of mass timber buildings, making it easier for teams to bring more of these projects to fruition. Published by WoodWorks – Wood Products Council, the U.S. Edition is adapted from the original Mass Timber Insurance Playbook developed in the United Kingdom. …While mass timber buildings are largely the same in the U.S. and Europe, regulations and business practices differ. Mass timber is also relatively new in the U.S. market, and WoodWorks has helped numerous developers and contractors address insurance issues on their projects. While not a guarantee, adhering to the principles in the Playbook should help to achieve the best pricing, terms, and conditions available in the current insurance market.
