Wood is strong, lightweight, and even flexible, making wood-based construction simple and safer than alternate building materials. Choosing wood avoids the need for heavy lifting and large cranes to secure materials onsite, making construction sites safer workplaces. Apart from that, a range of wood-based products, such as plywood, can be easily shaped and machined onsite, allowing significant benefits for project management and turnaround times.
Advances in technology have allowed quicker and more accurate installations of engineered wood products. Manufacturers now use high-tech pre-fabrication, which guarantees accuracy and enables rapid construction. Pre-fabricated LVL building systems can be used for both multi-story commercial and residential buildings.
