Modular wood buildings can be erected rapidly to create factories, warehouses and other large, complex structures. Modular wood construction is especially suited to systems with regular, repeating roofing structures.

Recent advancements in British Columbia lumber and engineered wood products deliver the kind of structural capacity that industrial buildings require, especially when lifting equipment will carry heavy loads. For structural strength, B.C. offers a range of advanced engineered wood building materials, including oriented strand board (OSB) and parallel strand lumber. Innovations like cross-laminated timber (CLT) have dramatically reduced the time it takes to erect industrial structures.
