Taylor Timber operates according to the following pillars.
CLIMATE
Building materials and construction account for 11% of global carbon emissions, 50% of which comes from structural systems. Choices structural engineers make can make a difference and building owners and architects should demand more of their engineers. Taylor Timber is a member of the SE 2050 Commitment to eliminate embodied carbon in buildings by 2050. We believe sustainability should be of equal importance as project cost and schedule and we pledge to offer our clients solutions that will minimize climate impacts.
COMMUNITY
Buildings should be designed with communities in mind. Primary residences that alleviate the housing shortage. Civic buildings that invoke a sense of pride. Renovations that restore vibrancy and connection to a neighborhood. These projects positively impact the collective and they are the projects that energize us.
TIMBER
It’s going down, we’re yelling TIMBER! No material better encompasses the pillars of Climate and Community than wood. Not only is timber construction beautiful, it can deliver equivalent performance to steel or concrete at a fraction of the climate impact. Timber evokes Montana. Trees sustainably harvested in our forests, cut in local mills, and fabricated into glulams and cross-laminated timber panels in our factories will reshape the architectural landscape of the region. Taylor Timber is at the forefront of timber design technology and will start every project with the question why not wood?
