About the event

This WoodWorks webinar explores moisture management throughout mass timber construction to protect structural performance, dimensional stability, finish quality, and long-term building durability. Contractors Chad Hamilton of XL Construction and Matthew Tonello of Consigli share jobsite lessons from completed mass timber structures. The presentation addresses practical preconstruction planning, installation sequencing, temporary protection techniques, proactive monitoring methods, and field response protocols. Attendees will learn how early coordination among project teams helps reduce project risk, balance constructability and cost, and support efficient mass timber building delivery.

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.
