Supply-informed
design is critical

for a winning project.

We offer curated design-support packages tailored to early project phases to help teams understand costs and better develop their mass timber strategy.

When project teams take early steps to coordinate a building’s program with the mass timber structure, it makes it much easier on the supplier later on. That’s why we’ll always credit any amount you spend on a design-support package toward your final mass timber order if Fort Point Timber ultimately supplies your project.
