Here’s a fantastic example of engineered wood in an engineered system of modular construction: 450m2 high-performance architectural homes cantilevering over the lake edge. Two weeks from slab to roof on internal and external trades starting their work simultaneously. Construction programme condensed by a minimum 30%.

Welcome

Greetings from your WoodWorks team. A major milestone has been reached as the final six months of the FAS project gets underway… check out LT McGuinnesses’ awesome video!

Here’s a fantastic example of engineered wood in an engineered system of modular construction. A great example of what modern methods of construction can achieve at Lake Tewa Lake Houses.

Bevel is a 12-storey mass-timber office tower in Bellevue, Washington, set to become the tallest timber office building in the US. It’s also Waugh Thistleton Architects’ first project in the US.

A two-storey community facility in Langford, BC is being built as North America’s first commercial volumetric mass timber building, combining licensed childcare with an arts and culture centre while reducing construction time, waste, and carbon footprint.
