As modern building technologies evolve, one material remains as in-demand now as it was in the very beginning: wood. Wood is one of the most versatile, durable and sustainable raw materials available, and its applications are virtually limitless.

Wood is cost-effective and easy to work with

Wood-frame construction can be cost-effective in terms of material costs, initial construction, and lower energy costs that can be realized over the life of the structure. Insurance can also be less for wood buildings.

Speed is one of the key benefits of wood-frame construction. Wood products are readily available and usually delivered more quickly than steel, which is often shipped from overseas. Wood-frame assembly is fast. Plus, most communities tend to have a large pool of trades people with wood framing experience, which affects labour availability and contributes to local economies.
