Mass Timber Construction

Building with Strength, Beauty, and Sustainability

Mass timber is changing the way we imagine and construct buildings. At Quarry View Building Group, we’re at the forefront of this innovation, delivering commercial spaces, cultural centers, educational buildings, and hospitality venues that showcase the best of what engineered wood can offer. We believe mass timber isn’t just a trend, it’s the future of construction, offering advantages in sustainability, speed, design, and long-term performance.

Let's Discuss Your Project

What Is Mass Timber?

Mass timber encompasses engineered wood products like cross-laminated timber (CLT), glue-laminated timber (glulam), nail-laminated timber (NLT), and dowel-laminated timber (DLT). These are created by bonding layers of wood together to form large, strong structural panels and beams. Unlike traditional “stick-built” construction, mass timber systems can support multi-story buildings, expansive open interiors, and dramatic architectural statements. From structural frames to exposed ceilings, mass timber provides unmatched design flexibility while maintaining rigorous engineering standards.

The Unique Benefits of Mass Timber Construction

Sustainable by Nature

Mass timber is recognized globally as one of the most environmentally friendly building materials. Every cubic meter of wood used in place of steel or concrete prevents approximately a ton of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. When sourced from responsibly managed forests, mass timber is not only renewable but also acts as a carbon sink, locking away carbon for the lifespan of the building. Many mass timber projects are eligible for LEED or other green building certifications, making them attractive to developers and municipalities focused on sustainability.

Fast, Precise, and Efficient

A key advantage of mass timber is its prefabrication. Engineered panels and beams are manufactured off-site to exacting standards, reducing errors and ensuring a perfect fit once delivered. On the jobsite, this translates into much faster assembly—whole floors and walls can often be erected in days, not weeks. The result is shorter construction schedules, reduced carrying costs, and fewer weather-related delays.

Warmth, Wellness, and Aesthetic Appeal

Mass timber offers natural warmth and visual impact that simply can’t be matched by concrete or steel. Studies have shown that people working and living in timber-rich environments experience reduced stress and higher well-being—a phenomenon often referred to as “the biophilic effect.” Mass timber’s unique grain, color, and natural aroma create inviting, healthy spaces for employees, guests, and communities.

Superior Structural and Fire Performance

Engineered wood products like CLT and glulam are exceptionally strong and stable, with predictable load-bearing capabilities. When exposed to fire, mass timber chars on the outside, forming a protective layer that maintains structural integrity far longer than unprotected steel. This makes mass timber buildings both safe and durable, even for multi-story or hybrid structures.

Our Mass Timber Construction Process

Design Collaboration

Every successful mass timber project starts with integrated design. We work hand-in-hand with architects, engineers, and owners to optimize layouts for open spans, exposed timber, and integrated systems. Our experience helps you maximize the visual and performance benefits of mass timber while navigating code requirements and site constraints.

Precision Engineering and Shop Drawings

Quarry View closely manages this critical phase by coordinating with trusted engineering partners and manufacturers. We oversee the development of detailed 3D models for each panel, beam, and connection. This process helps prevent costly on-site changes and supports early integration of MEP systems, acoustic performance, and fire safety requirements, setting the stage for a smooth and efficient build.

Prefabrication, Delivery, and Onsite Management

Our team oversees every stage, from sourcing FSC-certified wood to managing logistics for just-in-time delivery. Mass timber elements arrive on site protected and ready to assemble, minimizing material handling and waste. Our experienced field crews use state-of-the-art equipment to erect each section quickly and safely, with careful attention to finish quality and jobsite safety.

Finishing and Protection

From clear coatings to specialty stains, we provide a range of finishing options that protect your timber investment for decades to come. Our approach prioritizes low-VOC, environmentally friendly finishes that enhance the natural beauty of the wood while providing long-term durability and resistance to moisture, sunlight, and wear.

Applications and Project Types

Mass timber is incredibly versatile, supporting a wide array of building types:

  • Commercial offices and headquarters

  • Multi-family and mixed-use developments

  • Schools, universities, and student housing

  • Community centers and municipal buildings

  • Hospitality: hotels, lodges, event venues

  • Cultural and civic spaces

  • Hybrid high-rise and tall wood buildings
