Our technical team works closely with our clients and project partners to provide technical advice, structural design, and guidance across all project phases. We have a specialist team of Engineers, Designers, Modellers, and Project Managers who live and breathe mass timber and DfMa.
XLam projects benefit from a dedicated Project Manager and in-house registered professional engineers and technical specialists who have extensive DfMA and mass timber experience, including projects that are full mass timber builds, or where mass timber elements are used in conjunction with steel and concrete.
XLam propose a collaborative approach between all parties to deliver the most value to the client. We have a strong appreciation of the need for actively engaging with all parties involved in the project to achieve a fully coordinated design and we are happy to provide as much or as little support as required based on the embedded knowledge in the clients project team.

During design development, XLam will advise on structural considerations, panel thicknesses and spans, CLT layout and connection details.
