Comprehensive blueprint for design providing detailed guidance on design steps, code compliance options, and material optimization strategies for utilizing mass timber in affordable housing projects. Focuses on three structural typologies: small (1-3 stories), medium (4-8 stories), and large (9+ stories) buildings. Covers potential benefits including sustainability advantages, labor savings, foundation savings, occupant wellbeing, reduced height opportunities, and differentiated product value. Includes 18+ pages of detailed content on construction type options and fire-resistance rating, acoustic performance, structural design of mass timber floor panels, lateral system options, and examples of affordable housing projects across the country. Builds on WoodWorks' Mass Timber Cost and Design Optimization Checklists.
