Swinerton’s early commitment to mass timber began in 2016 with the design, permitting, and construction of the then-largest mass timber office building in the United States. Our proactive approach fostered delivery times four months faster than the industry average at rates 4% cheaper than structural steel. Today, we are known for successfully building some of the country’s most innovative mass timber projects.
Our clients benefit from our deep pool of experience and valuable solutions that reduce operating costs for high-performance and Net Zero buildings. With the number of mass timber projects expected to double every two years, Swinerton has assembled an unparalleled network of knowledge and resources that is sought out by clients and design teams across the nation.
MASS TIMBER EXPERTISE & DIFFERENTIATORS
SHARING VALUE
Swinerton recognizes the challenges of developing a project around a new structural system. Our expert approach to each mass timber project starts with creative solutions that ensure financial viability for our clients. We reduce the overall cost of construction through informed and complementary selections of the structural, mechanical, electrical, envelope, and interior systems.
BUILDING FASTER
As a pioneer in the industry, Swinerton has a proven track record for ensuring full project delivery with early cost certainty at rates up to 20% faster than conventional construction. We take critical steps to engage our trade partners early, maximize prefabrication, and deliver a “kit of parts” to assemble against the digital twin in the design phase.
LOWERING OPERATING COSTS
From lower energy mechanical systems and natural daylighting strategies to more robust envelope performance—Swinerton understands how to achieve synergy between mass timber and the regenerative solutions of the future. We engage in thorough building lifecycle analyses and have ample experience delivering Net Zero Energy Buildings.
Featured Mass Timber Projects
Delivering a mass timber project is all about the quality control of the details and harnessing the full potential of prefabrication. Swinerton has completed a variety of projects across the country using glulam beams and cross laminated timber (CLT) decks as structural elements, leading the design, engineering, procurement, logistics, and installation process to deliver a turnkey structural frame.
