mass timber

A Wilkinson Building Advisors-led team in the mid-west is designing a product line of commercial and industrial buildings that are assembled from a kit-of-parts. This kit (“Building in a Box”) is composed of the renewable building materials for the superstructure and enclosure system (cross laminated timber, mass timber and sawn lumber components).

The kit-of-parts can be disassembled at the end of the intended service life and reused; thus regenerative and recyclable. These systems are combined with advanced energy exchange and ventilation systems to yield low operating costs.

The combination of low first cost and operating expenses are attractive to investors/owners seeking a favorable ROI and a low carbon footprint. This team intends to help reduce the out-scale amount of energy used by buildings in the US (40%).

The WBA team will work as a design-build, prime subcontractor (superstructure and enclosure systems) or a design-builder for complete projects.”

If your business seeks to combine design with economy, we are here when you are ready!

                           Competitive first costs... Low operating expense.... Sound investment while pushing back at climate change

Proposed Pilot Project (concept)

Wilkinson Building Advisors is working on a demonstration project for several mixed use, mass-timber buildings in Minneapolis. If implemented, this project would support the mission of the WoodWorks Wood Products Council and the Softwood Lumber Board to further the use of timber products.
