Mass timber logistics & installation considerations.<\/p><\/div>\n
\n- Logistical Planning Handling & Installation:<\/strong> Development of the right logistics plans for efficient installation\u2014accounting for any potential double handling and required special care\u2014is paramount to creating schedule certainty through installation. The right project partners develop proper delivery, loading and sequencing unique to each site.<\/li>\n
- Protecting your Investment through Insurance & Temporary Protections:<\/strong> Consigli\u2019s in-house Job Site Insights platform allows our clients to protect their investment through floor-by-floor detection of potentially damaging elements to the timber structure, including water, fire or any other elements that may stain or mar the finished product. Additionally, temporary protection is often required and includes the use of hard walls held off the timber columns for UV and moisture protection, floor plate protection from UV, moisture and foot traffic, maintenance of humidity and temperature post close-in. The most effective timber structure protection is speedy building enclosure to reduce environmental impact on the timber itself. Once enclosed and final systems are brought online, maintaining proper humidity levels is critical to keeping the timber looking and functioning at its best.<\/li>\n
- Self-perform Capabilities:<\/strong> Consigli self-performs mass timber installation and protection, giving us added control over schedule, quality and continuity of installation because we are that much closer to the product. Our 650 in-house craftspeople share our standards for quality and are a strong additional resource to call upon to get work done on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
