Mass Timber vs Steel and Concrete: Real Project Costs
While mass timber incurs higher upfront material costs, its prefabricated design enables quicker assembly, lighter substructures, and simplified interiors, often yielding net savings. Against steel and concrete, it provides superior sustainability, thermal benefits, and visual charm. Factors like material access, regulatory hurdles, and project scope ultimately guide the most economical and effective choice.
