To strengthen the manufacturing and construction sectors’ capacity in designing and building with wood and mass timber, FII funded programs targeting enablers—architects, engineers, contractors, developers—to deliver logical, cost-effective wood and wood-hybrid construction solutions.
BC Wood, through 88 WoodTALKS™ educational in-person and virtual events, connected 1,177 architectural, engineering, construction and design professionals with wood product manufacturers through seminars on the latest products and manufacturing techniques, with an emphasis on design and engineering standards.
WoodWorks BC increased knowledge on wood performance and best practices as they relate to seismic code changes and moisture management in multi-family, taller and larger buildings. 1,631 developers, design consultants, building officials, general contractors and construction managers in 250 companies were educated through webinars, workshops and tours.
