Course Overview
This course builds upon concepts presented in the microcredential, Introductory Studies in Mass Timber Construction. Students will examine project planning, crew and site preparations, and material management for the safe and efficient installation of mass timber structures. They will read and interpret project drawings and documents and analyze options and approaches to implementing the installation of a given mass timber structure from receipt of materials to final installation. They will learn best practices for the handling and protection of mass timber materials and techniques and standards for installing mass timber components, connections, fasteners, and temporary bracing. Students will review the safe use of specialized tools and equipment and troubleshoot problems and defects in mass timber installations.
