One team.
Every advantage.

Swinerton and Timberlab work seamlessly together to deliver innovative mass timber solutions — reducing project risk, increasing schedule certainty, and making projects pencil in ways no traditional GC–supplier relationship can match. With more than 6.5 million square feet delivered since 2017, this partnership has the track record to prove it.

The launch of this campaign marks a new chapter: William Silva's appointment as National Director of Mass Timber, the opening of Independence Hall in Millersburg, Oregon, and Swinerton and Timberlab's continued presence at the International Mass Timber Conference.

A Swinerton Affiliate
Timberlab — A Swinerton Affiliate

Timberlab was born from Swinerton's Portland office on the earliest mass timber projects in the Pacific Northwest — and launched as a standalone Swinerton affiliate with a mission to advance the mainstream adoption of mass timber. As a team of architects, engineers, and builders, Timberlab provides holistic mass timber expertise including in-house engineering, fabrication, and installation — with two U.S. manufacturing facilities and a growing supply chain that runs from Oregon sawmills to job sites coast to coast.
