CWC Handbook for Construction Moisture Management of Mass Timber Buildings
The Canadian Wood Council’s Handbook for Construction Moisture Management of Mass Timber Buildings provides practical guidance for managing moisture risk throughout the project life cycle. It covers risk assessment, protection strategies, project-specific planning, moisture monitoring, and the transition to occupancy, emphasizing proactive planning, clear accountability, and adaptation to project conditions.
Mass timber procurement: Best practices for successful project delivery
This guide published by naturally:wood helps public-sector owners, procurement professionals, and project teams select procurement strategies for mass timber construction in BC. It compares common delivery methods, outlining advantages, limitations, and coordination requirements to support informed decisions that align with project objectives, organizational capacity, and risk tolerance while supporting successful project delivery.
Mass Timber Diaphragms for Tall Buildings - Design Example
This design example demonstrates a practical approach to CLT diaphragms in tall concrete-timber hybrid buildings with central cores. Using a representative 18-storey building in North Vancouver, it examines load paths, connection detailing, strength, and deflection, with finite element modelling validating simplified calculations and highlighting considerations for diaphragm flexibility and serviceability.
Wood Design & Building magazine
Wood Design & Building showcases the projects and ideas advancing wood construction. This issue explores how prefabricated, panelized, and modular systems are modernizing housing delivery. Featuring two mass timber student residences, it highlights how collaboration and Canadian expertise in design and manufacturing can help address housing needs, improve construction efficiency, and bring successful approaches to more communities across the country.
Wood Design Manual 2025
The Canadian Wood Council’s Wood Design Manual 2025 is the essential reference fore designing wood structures in Canada. Updated to align with the 2025 National Building Code of Canada and CSA O86:24 Engineering design in wood, it equips practitioners with the comprehensive structural and fire design information needed to design wood components and connections with confidence. This authoritative resource incudes the complete CSA O86:24 standard, along with detailed commentary that provides additional context and explanation to support its practical application. It is available in digital and print formats from the Canadian Wood Council’s webstore.
