As the WoodWorks BC quarterly Insider Report marks its second year of publication, our fifth issue turns to the topic of fabrication readiness, exploring what it takes to successfully move a mass timber project from design intent into production.
In our feature interview, Victor Correia, Fabrication Designer at Mercer Mass Timber, speaks with Cam Baker about early BIM coordination, staged model approvals, and the value of greater standardization across the industry.
On September 9, we invite you to join us for our free webinar on Modeling and Shop Drawing Success: A Workflow for Mass Timber Projects.
This webinar, based on our latest solutions paper, will do a deep dive on the critical coordination period leading up to fabrication, including model federation, MEP coordination, clash resolution, and shop drawing approvals. Learn how a structured pre-fabrication workflow can improve collaboration, reduce delays, and keep materials moving to fabrication on schedule.

Why It Matters:
Getting tolerances right is essential to delivering projects that perform as intended, on time and with fewer surprises.
Why It Matters: Mass timber’s schedule advantages depend on resolving design, coordination and constructability issues before fabrication begins. A clear, sequenced process helps teams minimize rework and delays, ensure materials reach the site at the right time and in the right order, and keep projects on schedule and on budget.
A quarterly publication highlighting key priorities and advancements in wood construction.
