Cross Laminated Timber is gaining traction across the globe! CLT first became a big hit internationally, before it ever made its appearance in the United States. Europe started the Mass Timber Movement by first introducing CLT back in the 1900s, particularly in Australia and Germany. CLT began as a university project that an Austrian Doctoral student, named Gerhard Schickhofer undertook a few decades ago. He valued the impact that this very strong building material could have on the industry. This strong-material also turned out to be very environmentally friendly, even though that was not his main focus in the beginning. Now there are over 100 CLT manufacturers across the world.

The Beauty of Glulam Beams DR Johnson is known to provide custom, quality, and beautiful glu-laminated beams.

DRJ offers four different appearance grades; industrial, architectural, premium, and framing grades.

The Sideyard project in Portland Oregon was recognized by Archidust, as a strengthening connection between the Eastside community and the westside downtown urban core. This unique 9,000 sf space was created when the City of Portland built a new one-way street which reconnected the roadway to the Burnside bridge. The building was designed to fit on a unique urban property as a working-class building, targeting public transportation connectivity. The small lot and busy urban traffic, created a more challenging design and construction. DRJ Cross-Laminated Timber and Glu-lam beams served as the buildings main structural components.

Mass Timber materials are safe, sustainable, efficient, and an innovative method of construction. Wood is the only major construction material that is renewable, sustainable, and creates a net positive effect on the environment. By utilizing Mass Timber, wood industries promote sustainable forest management and harvesting practices. Through the Oregon Forest Practices Act, Oregon has strong laws and policies in place to promote healthy and growing forests. The Oregon FPA sets policies including limits on clear cutting practices, protection of streams and water resources, and requires harvested areas to be replants within two-years of a timber harvest. These policies help ensure that Oregon Mass Timber products remain sustainable and contribute to
