The Webinar Proceedings

The webinar began with specific references to the benefits of building mass timber structures such as wood’s eco-friendly nature, ability to reduce emissions, the fast-paced building process, cost comparatives, and so on.

As the session progressed, Ar. Newby introduced the attendees to a deep dive on various engineered wood products like cross-laminated timber, glue-laminated timber, mass plywood panel, nail laminated timber, dowel laminated timber, and others. He also elaborated on the link between prefabrication and modular techniques that can help optimize the process in mass timber construction projects. Information on timber composites was also provided.

The highlights of the presentation were architectural case studies and projects in mass timber from Canada. He also discussed the misconceptions related to various aspects of building with wood such as durability, fire safety, seismic performance, insect/mold/moisture, and acoustics.

The Architect’s Take on Mass Timber Architecture

Talking about the webinar, Ar. Derek Newby said, “Mass Timber Architecture is an emerging trend in building construction in many parts of the world today. Advancements in wood product technology and processing systems are driving the momentum for innovative buildings in Canada. Introducing it to the Indian audience on a Canadian Wood platform was a great experience. I am grateful that the audience took such deep interest and participated actively in the event.”

Further, referring to the advantages of building with wood he said, “Construction for mass timber projects is more a process of assembly on-site as parts are in a highly prefabricated condition. Prefabrication saves time, requires less labor and the site is clean. Sometimes foundations are reduced because the material is lighter. All this is possible with detailed preparation and construction knowledge of those in the industry.”

Comments From Canadian Wood

Speaking about the webinar, Mr. Peter Bradfield – Technical Advisor at Canadian Wood said, “It was an honor to have an international stalwart of timber architecture join us in our efforts in India to share relevant category-defining knowledge.

Canadian Wood has always been committed to providing and promoting conversations that encourage the choice of sustainably sourced timber. While mass timber architecture is at its nascent stage in India, Canadian Wood is well equipped with the required technical expertise necessary to support such ventures from initiation to execution of the project.”

While questioned about the cost of building with wood he added, “There is a perception of higher cost, and while this may be true at times, the reality is when we optimize the design and account for the benefits, including rapid build time, wood as an option is often more competitive than it is understood to be.”
