DESIGN-ASSIST SERVICES
FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECT DELIVERY

EARLY DECISIONS DEFINE MASS TIMBER PERFORMANCE.

Before procurement. Before fabrication. Before coordination gaps become costly.
 
Successful mass timber outcomes depend on aligning structural, commercial, and construction decisions while design flexibility still exists, and before critical decisions become expensive to change. The earlier mass timber expertise is introduced, the greater the opportunity to optimize project outcomes.
 
Through one coordinated delivery system, Mass Timber design-assist aligns design intent, engineering coordination, European manufacturing, procurement strategy, and logistics planning. 
 
Partnering alongside developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and project teams, we help evaluate structural systems, resolve constructability, and confidently guide projects from concept to construction.

WHERE PROJECTS BREAK DOWN
LATE ALIGNMENT INCREASES COST

• Manufacturing capabilities are not leveraged early

• Disconnect between design and fabrication operating in silos

• Misaligned engineering assumptions

• Procurement delays

• Incomplete coordination between trades

• Late-stage system decisions influence cost, schedule, and system performance

WHAT IS MASS TIMBER DESIGN-ASSIST?

Mass timber design-assist is an early collaboration process that brings mass timber expertise into the project before construction documents are finalized.  It creates clarity by optimizing structural systems, procurement strategy, fabrication, logistics planning for efficient project execution, and installation planning while design flexibility still exists.
 

THE VALUE OF EARLY DESIGN-ASSIST:

01   EARLY DESIGN CLARITY

Compare mass timber structural systems (alongside traditional building materials) before design is locked.

Validate product suitability early.

Improve cost and constructibility certainty.

Product selection aligned with structural performance, budget, and constructibility.

02   INTEGRATED PROJECT ALIGNMENT

Align design, engineering, fabrication, procurement, and logistics.

Resolve constructability before documentation is finalized.

Protect budgets and schedules before procurement begins.

03   CONFIDENT PROJECT DELIVERY

Integrated design-to-delivery workflow.

Better coordination across project teams.

Fewer RFIs, change orders, and schedule delays.
