Dear Visitatore,
☀️ While summer settles in across this side of the world (and winter takes over in the other), we’re back with a fresh edition of our bi-monthly newsletter—just in time to talk about something that doesn't go on vacation: durability. The "dark side" of timber. |
|
|
Over the past few months, we’ve shared some of our most-read technical articles to date:
➤ VTMB: Is Volumetric Timber Modular Building the key to solving the housing crisis?
➤ Hybrid Systems: How mixing timber with steel can unlock new heights (literally).
➤ Cost Control: Our 5-pillar strategy to make Mass Timber a cost-effective, no-compromise alternative to concrete and steel. You find below the links to read them in case you missed them.
The response has been huge—thank you for being part of the conversation! Now, it’s time to dig into a topic that’s often left in the shadows… but one that’s critical to the future of timber: how to design for durability.
"Think slow, act fast" is valid for durability too! |

Durability: What They Don’t Tell You
|
Timber’s sustainability and beauty get all the spotlight—but its long-term resilience often doesn’t. In our article “The Three (Plus One) Keys to Timber Durability,” we pull back the curtain on hidden water paths, occupant habits, and Murphy’s Law scenarios that can undermine any project.
Drawing on 22 years of hands-on experience, you’ll discover the essential design, on-site QA, and monitoring strategies that transform potential failures into structures built to last. |

Volumetric Timber Modular Buildings: our concept! |
Need speed without sacrificing quality? Our Volumetric Timber Modular Building (VTMB) system swings fully finished modules—walls, floors, MEP, even façades—straight from factory to site.
In March we showed how a DfMA-driven workflow ties design, production, and crane lifts together, keeping schedules tight and budgets steady. Missed it? Catch up now and see how VTMB solves housing shortages at record pace—while shrinking your carbon footprint. |

From Mass to Smart (Timber) |
Think timber costs are out of reach? Our “Making Mass Timber Affordable: A Five-Step Guide” shows you how to slash budgets without sacrificing performance. We unpack five universal pillars—experience, early expert involvement, time investment, holistic cost–time trade-offs, and dedicated PM—powered by DfMA tactics and CPC/CPS metrics to reveal hidden savings.
Missed it? Catch up now and make your next project a cost-competitive Smart Timber success. Optimize your mass timber costs today! |

New amazing project in Singapore!
Supported by 27-metre glulam columns, Sprint Canopy spans between two towers to deliver 3,000 m² of sheltered public space. Tropical winds and seismic loads were demanding, yet the critical challenge was column buckling—overcome with hidden steel cores and precision detailing. Explore the gallery to see how strength and elegance meet above Singapore’s skyline. |
