As the popularity of mass timber grows (along with its sustainable forests), developers and architects alike explore ways to integrate this beautiful construction method into their buildings. DCI’s mass timber experts are helping them do just that, often creating many mass timber “firsts.”
DCI Engineers and the project team behind Timberview VIII share their insight on what this Type IV-C mass timber, affordable housing development means for the country's housing crisis in the feature video, "The Good Project."
DCI’s first goal for any project is to establish driving factors for our clients. Whether it’s speed of construction, cost savings opportunities or capitalizing on mass timber’s biophilic benefits, we provide our project partners full picture services to help them assess and meet their project drivers.
Our team has helped bring multiple projects--first of their kind--to market, from California’s first multi-story mass timber building to the nation’s first mass plywood panel project.
Let DCI help guide you out of the woods!
In 2023, DCI Engineers conducted a study with Weber Thompson and PCL Construction to answer a simple question: Is a mass timber residential tower financially competitive with a similar size concrete tower? Our three firms studied different material options, framing approaches and lateral designs to answer that question.
