This regional online seminar from WoodWorks explores the essential early design choices needed to deliver cost-effective mass timber structures. Speaker Hamid Kaboli examines why applying traditional building approaches to non-commodity mass timber often creates unnecessary price premiums. Participants will examine how foundational selections regarding building code construction types, fire ratings, structural column grids, and panel spans directly dictate MEP integration, connection detailing, and acoustic performance. Illustrated by built case studies including a Saddleback College campus addition, the session outlines practical strategies to maximize project efficiency, constructability, and long-term design flexibility.
