Mass Timber Costs Less on Large Buildings, Not Small Homes

Mass timber and traditional framing both create robust structures, yet their cost benefits vary by project size. Traditional framing proves more economical for small homes due to its simplicity and lower upfront costs, whereas mass timber shines in larger buildings with advantages in installation speed and reduced foundation requirements. Proper attention to engineering, permitting, and safety ensures the selected system aligns with performance needs, budget constraints, and building codes.
