Our in-house design and structural engineering department brings a combined industry experience of over 20 years to your building project. Our team participates in the development of national CLT manufacturing and design standards and are knowledgeable of mass timber building code acceptance and innovative design solutions developed in academia and for specific projects around the world. We can work directly with the engineer of record to provide design guidance and help educate the next generation of industry professionals or can partner with a local engineering firm licensed in 50 U.S. states and 7 Canadian provinces to complete the design internally.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6790″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″]
