As the A/E/C industry continues to embrace sustainable innovation, mass timber is emerging as a compelling alternative to traditional materials like concrete and steel. This panel, brought to you by McCownGordon Construction, will explore how the mass timber movement is beginning to take root in Kansas City—and what it will take to accelerate its local adoption.
Join leading mass timber experts as they share actionable insights on securing early buy-in from building owners, the importance of early coordination with trades, and key technical considerations including façade systems, moisture mitigation, acoustics, and building code compliance across various construction types.
