Managing Mass Timber: A Guide to Delivering Large-Scale Mass Timber Construction Projects equips both practitioners and students with in-depth operational knowledge essential for constructing large-scale mass timber (MT) structures.As mass timber construction continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, this textbook provides readers with the foundational knowledge required to successfully deliver MT construction projects. Grounded in widely taught theoretical frameworks from construction project management, the book focuses on the operational aspects of mass timber within the context of the five core pillars of construction management: Safety, Quality, Cost, Schedule, and Sustainability.This text also explores the historical development of mass timber, supply chain logistics, risk management, relevant codes and standards, and other key operational aspects. It integrates core principles of project management and lean manufacturing, which are fundamental both in academic settings and professional practice. To support both students and instructors, the book includes chapter summaries, test questions, and real-world case studies.This is the first textbook designed specifically to prepare readers in architecture, engineering and construction management (AEC), and related fields to effectively understand and manage the mass timber construction process in the field.
