Delivering Mass Timber Projects Through Competitive Bidding

Mass timber projects often rely on early manufacturer involvement through design-assist or negotiated delivery. In contrast, publicly bid and other competitively procured projects require a different approach-one that accommodates multiple manufacturers with varying species, panel sizes, and layup limitations.

This session will offer practical strategies for delivering mass timber projects under design-bid-build and competitive procurement frameworks. Leveraging real-world project experience, presenters will discuss specification, detailing, and coordination techniques that support competitive bidding while maintaining performance, code compliance, and design intent. Join us to gain actionable insights into reducing risk and increasing flexibility when bringing mass timber to public-sector projects.
