We support the Advanced Wood Constrution Action Plan and the initiatives within.

With the demand on construction across Ontario, in the residential and commercial sectors it is vital we adopt the action items of this plan.

Prefabricated wood panels will increase production, shorten lead times, and contribute to the robust goals of building the province. The Prefab trend has grown in the construction sector leading to a more efficient build and product.
Low carbon footprint or carbon sequestered products will be paramount in future builds to ensure we are responsible stewards to our environment. This plan puts us in a potion to do so.

With the emergence of the Mass Timber market not only in the production but the use in both commerical and residential, this plan promotes this market. Mass timber building processes require less on-site workers, leading to safer and more productive construction sites. Mass timber as a building product outperforms concrete and steel.
