"More than a century after steel and concrete became the standard for building high-rises, the humble tree is making a comeback."

Bloomberg Business, in the article "Skyscrapers Made of Wood Are Making a Comeback"

Swinerton stands at the forefront of this resurgence.

Continue to learn about Swinerton's mass timber expertise.

Swinerton leads the design, engineering, procurement, logistics, and installation process to deliver mass timber buildings for all types of commercial use.

Swinerton's innovative mass timber solutions and dedication to craftsmanship set it apart. The general contractor's response to an industry need demonstrates this: With erecting mass timber buildings a rare skill in the marketplace, Swinerton developed its own skilled craftsmen to assemble mass timber frames.

Swinerton's mass timber projects include one of the largest cross laminated timber (CLT) projects in the country: the 156,000-square-foot First Tech Federal Credit Union in Beaverton, Oregon.

Swinerton's mass timber work spans projects in multiple cities:

Denver, Colorado

Los Angeles, California

Hillsboro, Oregon

Beaverton, Oregon

Eugene, Oregon

Kirkland, Washington

Swinerton leads the mass timber conversation.

In the Southeast, Swinerton leaders are presenting during the February 27 AIA Charlotte conference "Experience Speaks: Mass Timber​ Design, Construction & Lessons Learned" and the WoodWorks "Southeast Wood Design Symposium" event on February 28 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Another leadership example: In San Francisco, Swinerton hosted a 200-guest cocktail discussion - called "Libations and Lumber" - about the future of mass timber building.

Swinerton has earned its trusted partner status in mass timber for many reasons.

SUSTAINABILITY

Swinerton was an early adopter of the green building movement and continues its responsible building practices with mass timber.

Mass timber buildings, combined with sustainable forestry practices, help create carbon neutral buildings.

VERTICAL INTEGRATION

To achieve the full benefit of mass timber, Swinerton brings all project stakeholders to the table early in the design process. A proactive approach to a building's layout is crucial.

This collaborative approach helps ensure efficient solutions.

COST

In mass timber, cost-effectiveness means a value-driven solution that fully utilizes the benefits of mass timber - both functionally with its structural properties and aesthetically through its ability to warm interior spaces.

Swinerton partners with project stakeholders to land this result.

SELF-PERFORM GENERAL CONTRACTOR

By self-performing mass timber buildings, Swinerton controls quality, schedule, budget and safety for clients.

Given this experience, Swinerton is positioned to continue driving the mass timber movement.
