Mass Timber Construction

• Column and Beam Systems for domestic and large commercial buildings
• Timber/ Concrete Composite (TCC) Floors
• Laminated Timber Panels (LTP)

MASSLAM is Australian Sustainable Hardwoods’ (ASH) range of mass timber solutions. Grown, owned and produced in Victoria, MASSLAM is a range of glue-laminated timber systems; intended for large domestic and commercial structures; designed and manufactured for assembly. It has advantages that allow longer spans, higher ceilings, increased floor space, lesser beam depth and lower associated installation costs. Better still, it is cheaper to construct than concrete and steel, looks better, is safe, sustainable and efficient.

Features and benefits:

• Sustainability – The very existence of sustainable timber helps reverse climate change. No other commercially available building material boasts the renewable characteristics of timber.
• Cost savings – commercial structures built with mass timber offer cost savings over concrete and steel.
• Speed – Up to 30% faster construction times attributed to early services rough-in and assembly and substantially reduced on-site costs.
• Safety – prefabrication eliminates on-site risks like working at heights, hot works and less use of power tools.
• Accuracy – MASSLAM members are passed through the world’s largest four-side planer and CNC to machine with +/-1mm accuracy.
• Lighter – MASSLAM is 18% the weight of concrete and 80% the week of steel for the same structural requirement.
• Captures carbon – 1,000m3 of MASSLAM stores 673,000 of carbon and can regrow in as little as 5 minutes.
