Whether we’re the General Contractor on the project or a subcontractor, we’re bringing to the table GC- level sophistication as a partner who evaluates risk, similarly. We’re giving feedback on whether it’s achievable or not while considering a holistic project approach.” However, even if it becomes evident that the upfront costs of a mass timber building may be more than a traditional one, Evans believes that the ultimate return on the structure can actually turn out to be substantially more for a mass timber structure versus a conventional one. “One differentiator is exposed wood,” he avers. “People just really like to work in a natural environment. A private developer, trying to attract a tenant to their building, may experience quicker absorption because their product differs from what is generally available in the market. They may lock in longer lease periods and achieve a higher rate of return.”
