Innovative Light-Frame
(Coming Soon)
Light wood-frame construction is increasingly being used for larger and more challenging projects—such as
podium buildings, with five or six stories of wood over two levels of concrete, or buildings with complex
cantilevered diaphragms. The WoodWorks Innovation Network will showcase innovative buildings in this
category from across the U.S. Check back soon to connect with experienced professionals and see who’s
leading the evolution of these projects.
If you’ve worked on innovative light-frame projects we should add to this section, we want to hear from
you.
Join the network of light frame pros.
Membership in the WoodWorks Innovation Network gives you access to experienced professionals working in mass timber and hybrid building technologies. Post your projects and experience for the opportunity to engage with developers and others who may want to collaborate on projects.
Let’s raise the bar.
Tap into the knowledge and experience of experts in mass timber construction. Connect with architects, engineers, and developers, and see how others are approaching their designs. Learn how to avoid pitfalls like outdated or incongruent building codes, and find resources you need.
