About the event

This WoodWorks webinar explores moisture management methods required to protect mass timber components before, during, and after site installation. Contractors Chad Hamilton of XL Construction and Matthew Tonello of Consigli share jobsite experience from completed mass timber buildings. The presentation covers early preconstruction planning, installation sequencing, temporary protection techniques, field monitoring protocols, and moisture response strategies. Attendees will learn how coordinated site management safeguards structural capacity, preserves finish appearance, ensures dimensional stability, and mitigates project delivery risks while balancing installation schedules, constructability, and overall construction costs.

What you’ll learn

  • Identify common sources of moisture exposure during mass timber construction and explain their potential impacts on structural performance, dimensional stability, finish quality, and long-term durability.
  • Describe preconstruction planning and coordination strategies that support effective moisture management during mass timber installation and enclosure.
  • Evaluate temporary protection methods, sequencing approaches, and site management practices used to minimize moisture exposure and maintain the performance of mass timber systems during construction.
  • Discuss field-tested monitoring techniques and response protocols that help project teams manage moisture exposure while supporting construction quality, project efficiency, and resilient building outcomes.

Attendance notes

WoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email. Attendees must stay for the duration of the event to receive a certificate.
