When the timber gets this big, we get hands-on.
These massive glulams call for some old-school timber framing skills, with Mafell tools earning their keep.

Wenn das Holz so groß wird, packen wir selbst mit an.
Diese massiven Brettschichtholzbalken erfordern traditionelle Fachkenntnisse im Holzbau, und dabei bewähren sich die Werkzeuge von Mafell.

Tiny home, mass timber.

CLT walls and floor, T&G roof, and one stunning final destination: a small island off Vancouver Island. This little build is taking shape.

Shihiya School | Part 4: Topping It Off

Time to close it in. With the CLT panels staged and ready, each panel is flown into place over the seven 63’ hybrid glulam and steel trusses, then aligned and fastened down to complete the mass timber roof system.

From fabrication in our Exshaw shop to final installation on site — that’s a wrap on our scope at Shihiya School, near Enderby, BC.
