Mass timber and other bio-based construction materials are moving beyond their origin and into new, rapidly growing sectors – including data centers, luxury residential development, institutional projects, and high-profile commercial buildings. This session will explore where mass timber and bio-based materials are gaining significant traction, demonstrating tangible returns, and what more needs to be done to accelerate market penetration.

This workshop will cover:

• Identifying high-growth market opportunities where mass timber and bio-based materials are delivering measurable return
• Understanding how project teams are assessing material performance, safety, and implementation challenges in complex building models
• Developing effective procurement and delivery strategies to integrate innovative materials into conventional construction workflows
