#019 Building Skyscrapers With Wood Instead of Steel & Concrete

In episode 10 we covered AI and the effect on the future of construction. In that episode we discussed the impact of 3D printing and whether or not that would be eliminating jobs for construction workers. The truth is that concrete has become a commodity. Every year the prices rise as it becomes less and less available. So much so that there is a concrete mafia! As governments and jurisdictions crack down on the extraction of sand from water ways to make concrete, how will we continue to build? The answer is with wood. There is a HUGE push to build with Mass Timber for MANY reasons. Cost, schedule, sustainability, renewable resources, CO2 emissions, etc. Listen to this episode to find out... for mass timber... what is mass timber, what are the cost and schedule advantages, who installs it, where has it been installed to date, what is the availability of the material, what are the environmental impacts, what the biophilic properties are, and more!#construction #constructionmanagement #architecture, #engineering #structuralengineering #wood #masstimber #timber #structures #skyscrapers #carpenter #concrete #steel #steelerectors #electrician #plumber #hvac #skilledtrades #bluecollar #education #college #collegelife #union #unionlabor #sustainability #sustainablebuilding #builder #leed #green Key words...Construction Jobs, Construction Manager, Construction Saletraining, Construction Fails, Construction Simulator, Construction vehicles, Constructionsounds, Construction truck, Construction accidents, Construction sites, Constructionjobs interview, construction jobs that pay well, construction jobs with noexperience, Jobs that pay well without a degree, jobs that can make youa millionaire, jobs that pay well, jobs that pay over 100k, jobs that allow youto travel, jobs that don’t require a college degree, jobs that AI can’t replace,jobs that Pay 100k a year without a degree, jobs that will be replaced with AI,jobs that will make you a millionaire, jobs that make over 100k a year, jobsthat hire immediatelyCareers that make a lot of money, careers in finance,careers for introverts, careers that don’t require a degree, careers without adegree, careers in techBlue collar millionaires, blue collar boys, blue collar man,blue collar edu, Skilled trades shortage, skilled trades that pay well,skilled trades vs college, skilled trades in demand, skilled trades are dying,skilled trades jobs, skilled trades podcast, skilled tradesman, Student loan forgiveness, student loan debt, student loansexplained, student loan crisis, student loan plannerHighest starting salaries, Carpenter work, carpenter tools, carpentry basics, carpentrywork, carpentry podcasts, carpentry apprenticeship, carpentry hacks, carpentry course,carpentry projects, carpentry tips, carpentry schoolsElectrician work, Electrician tools, Electrician basics, Electricianwork, Electrician podcasts, c Electrician apprenticeship, Electrician hacks, Electriciancourse, Electrician projects, Electrician tips, Electrician schools,electrician vs plumber, electrical design, electrical engineering, electricalbasics, electrical wiring, electrical engineering course electricaltroubleshootingHVAC tech, HVAC system, HVAC work, HVAC tools, HVAC basics, HVACwork, HVAC podcasts, HVAC apprenticeship, HVAC hacks, HVAC course, HVAC projects,HVAC tips, HVAC schools, HVAC vs plumber, HVAC design, mechanical engineering
