Construction Market Trends Webinar Series
Materials Matter: Mass Timber, Steel Costs and the Future of Construction
Steel market volatility isn't going away. Rising tariffs, supply constraints and pricing uncertainty are prompting owners to rethink traditional building materials.
Could mass timber be part of the solution? This webinar will explore why mass timber is gaining momentum across multiple sectors and how evolving supply dynamics are strengthening its role as a viable structural alternative. We'll examine market trends, supply chain developments and the role mass timber can play in improving cost predictability, schedule certainty and long-term project resilience.
