We offer full service design and structural engineering for CLT and GLULAM projects. Our team collaborates with clients and project stakeholders to ensure each mass timber structure is meticulously planned, with all necessary engineering and assembly details.
Structural Engineering
Structural timber engineering is our core expertise. We provide comprehensive structural analysis and tailored reports for each project’s specific requirements. Our services include detailed CLT and Glulam assembly drawings, ensuring seamless construction execution. Additionally, we incorporate critical factors such as fire safety, acoustics, vibration control, seismic design, and water mitigation, ensuring that every mass timber project meets the highest industry standards for safety and durability.
Consultation and Custom Design
While our primary focus is on structural timber engineering, we also provide custom design solutions tailored for mass timber projects. For clients beginning from scratch, we can collaborate on initial ideas and determine if our in house team is the best fit to bring your vision to life. If not, we will connect you with one of our trusted architectural partners who specialize in styles ranging from Scandinavian and modern designs to classic New England architecture.
Architectural Partnerships and Design Options
Nordic CLT Builders collaborates with a range of architectural firms and can recommend an architect whose style matches your vision. Once the design direction is set, we work with the design team from the concept stage to refine spans, layouts and details for CLT and other mass timber systems. Early integration with our engineering and assembly teams preserves your chosen aesthetic, prevents costly redesign and lays the groundwork for an efficient construction phase that delivers significant savings.
Tender Modeling
Our tender modeling service provides our architectural and engineering partners with detailed 3D models and visualizations essential for project planning and bidding. By creating accurate representations of the mass timber structure, including key elements such as CLT and Glulam components, we support project estimation, communicate design intent clearly to stakeholders, and bring clarity to the bidding process, laying a solid foundation for successful project execution.
