In episode 10 we covered AI and the effect on the future of construction. In that episode we discussed the impact of 3D printing and whether or not that would be eliminating jobs for construction workers.

The truth is that concrete has become a commodity. Every year the prices rise as it becomes less and less available. So much so that there is a concrete mafia! As governments and jurisdictions crack down on the extraction of sand from water ways to make concrete, how will we continue to build?

The answer is with wood. There is a HUGE push to build with Mass Timber for MANY reasons. Cost, schedule, sustainability, renewable resources, CO2 emissions, etc.

Listen to this episode to find out... for mass timber... what is mass timber, what are the cost and schedule advantages, who installs it, where has it been installed to date, what is the availability of the material, what are the environmental impacts, what the biophilic properties are, and more!
