Understand the implications of new heavy timber construction and the new IBC rules that apply.
The recently approved changes to the 2021 International Building Code® contain new heavy timber construction types that allow for mass timber buildings at a much larger scale than what is currently permitted. This innovative approach holds the promise for significant reductions in both the amount of labor and duration of construction while using a sustainable natural resource. While the 2021 International Building Code® will not published until the fall of 2020, it is important for owners and designers to understand the implications of these new heavy timber construction types and how they might be able to seek permission in their local jurisdiction to safely construct taller mass timber structures under previous versions of the IBC.
