WoodWorks Webinar: Handbook for Construction Moisture Management of Mass Timber

Mass timber is opening up new construction opportunities across a wide range of building types. As with any evolving building system, it also brings evolving planning and construction practices, particularly around managing moisture during construction. This session walks through the Canadian Wood Council’s Handbook for Construction Moisture Management of Mass Timber Buildings and shows how it can be applied on real projects. Participants will gain practical insights into construction‑phase protection strategies and learn how to develop a project‑specific moisture management plan that supports constructability, protects the mass timber, and helps keep schedules and budgets on track.

Learning Outcomes

1. Identify key moisture-related risks and considerations associated with mass timber during the construction phase.
2. Explore practical construction-phase protection strategies outlined in the Canadian Wood Council’s Handbook for Construction Moisture Management of Mass Timber Buildings.
3. Develop a project-specific moisture management plan that supports constructability, protects mass timber elements, and helps maintain project schedules and budgets.
