Getting some new imagery for our upcoming mass timber project called Return to Form.

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@JohnMcDonaldSB @semihandmade @IKEAUSA Amazing - I want for my next house project

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

It's sciency, but here is our Whole Building Life Cycle Analysis quantifying Return to Form's carbon emission impact, and a comparative cost analysis of our building as mass timber, concrete and steel.

@Mikey_Tay1or @seandsweeney Nice! Thank you for sharing

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@Mikey_Tay1or @seandsweeney Nice! Can I ask a few questions, and feel free to DM if easier:

What market?
Can you share your untrended YOC and total cost/unit?

Thanks!

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@seandsweeney Good spot to be!

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@antonia_mdprjct Congratulations @antonia_mdprjct!

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@EllliotttB Don't take my word for it, but tons of new studies/data out there. I don't really buy the low-carbon concrete yet. Wood construction (I think) is the only way to lower embodied carbon in construction today.

@aussieflya @timberlabinc @ZGFArchitects Haha missed you this year!

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

New mass timber roof over PDX airport is incredible.

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@EllliotttB Not sure it can be totally solved. If agricultural/forest land is no longer profitable as that, some higher use will buy, clear cut it, and no more forest land.

If the timber industry is healthy, generally a good thing for forest health. Growing mass timber industry is good.

@joakim_rr @khzny @seandsweeney @mwmoedinger @antonia_mdprjct @GaucherAndrew @roundhouse208 Happy to chat! DM or email me anytime. I’d need a lot of specific project info to answer your questions.

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@aussieflya @pushtheneedle Yep, IV-A is unchanged in '24. Full encapsulation. But other projects like Ascent have been successful in getting a variance to ~50% exposure

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@pushtheneedle @aussieflya Yep we got IV-B to 100% exposure in the '24 IBC. We got Denver to adopt that provision early. I think a few other cities have as well

[Andrew Katz @katzdevelops]

@aussieflya @pushtheneedle We are 12 stories. 15 stories would be Type IV-A which would require full encapsulation of the timber (unless they go for a variance like other tall wood bldgs have). Single stair in a Type IV-A is wild, I'm interested to learn more

@JustinKlekamp @NNNIncome Thanks @JustinKlekamp ! Feel free to DM me what you are looking for
