Think Wood
The whole wood world.
Reimagine the possibilities of wood in the built environment. We’ll show you how wood can elevate your projects (literally), meet budgets, achieve sustainability goals, and create awe-inspiring structures.
Value
Projects that pencil out.
Building with wood is fast and flexible.
It can save time and money, and be undertaken year-round in almost any climate. Wood’s aesthetic, biophilic and health benefits offer market differentiators that can boost a project’s overall value.
Sustainability
Think wood. Grow homes.
Wood is the only naturally renewable building material.
Wood stores carbon and, with the least embodied energy of all major building materials, requires less energy throughout its life cycle. Demand for wood products helps ensure forested land remains forested.
See how wood performs under pressure.
Wood buildings meet and can even exceed code requirements for fire safety, seismic performance, and wind resistance. When designed with consideration to local climate, wind, and seismic activity, wood buildings can stand the test of time and the elements.
