About the event

Mass timber structures demand rigorous on-site moisture management to safeguard structural integrity, dimensional stability, finish aesthetics, and building durability. In this technical webinar hosted by WoodWorks, experienced contractors Chad Hamilton of XL Construction and Matthew Tonello of Consigli examine practical field strategies for mitigating moisture risks before, during, and after timber erection. Drawing directly from completed mass timber projects, the session covers preconstruction planning, assembly sequencing, temporary weather protection, site monitoring techniques, and active response protocols. Participants will learn how proactive jobsite coordination curbs project risk while balancing constructability, schedule, and cost considerations.

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.
