Working architect, hobbyist builder, competent tinkerer. I want to build a house for sub $100/sf.

Where are you located? It’s not any cheaper right now, compared to cast in place concrete or other solutions, but it’s fast. This particular build is doing one floor per day. (Slab, not including the verticals.)

Very cool. We have one mass timber building here in town. It’s entirely office space. Since most of our CLTs and glulams come from Canada, I imagine the cost-benefit just got more slim. But I hope you guys keep driving it forward!

Nice, was last year in a timber redidential structure in Rotterdam in the Netherlands called SAWA. (50 m high/164 feet). Probably not as tall as the building your visited , but construction looks similar (not that I know much about that). Fascinating that they can make tall wooden buildings nowadays.
