Our 137,000-square-foot, highly automated mass timber manufacturing facility in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, produces up to 50,000 cubic meters of high-quality CLT and Glulam per year to exacting standards. We manufacture glulam and edge-glued CLT panels up to 3.4m (11’1″) wide, 380mm (15″) thick, and 15.8m (51.8’) long to a tolerance of +/- 3mm (1/8″). Our wide CLT panels allow greater design flexibility, reduce the number of “picks” on site, speed assembly, and therefore reduce the cost of construction.

Considering building with Mass Timber? Unsure how much it will cost? Contact us, we can help. We rely on 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools and integrated cost databases to develop fast, accurate and reliable construction budgets. While timber buildings may look more expensive, they’re actually cost competitive, especially when lifecycle and total cost are considered.

Our in-house timber specialists work alongside architects at any stage of the design process, from conceptual design to working drawings. We assist with elegant, cost effective, and optimized design solutions. Our range of contemporary mass timber products allows architects and designers to create comfortable spaces with style.

Innovations in engineered wood products and connections have sparked a renaissance in timber construction. Together with leading wood-engineering firms we deliver safe, practical, cost effective and highly refined structural solutions. Our integrated approach considers the building as a system, resulting in buildings of unparalleled comfort and performance.

We deliver internationally, optimizing flatbed or container shipments for timely delivery. Parts are packaged in the order of assembly and are protected with weather resistant transport tarps. Element5 crews, when hired, are mass-timber-experienced and ensure safe, quick and organized assemblies. Alternatively, on-site supervisory services or detailed assembly plans are available to assist an owner’s own crew.
