The actual installation process of CLT and Glulam is extremely efficient and straightforward. Engineered wood products are a lightweight material choice compared to concrete panels and masonry construction, resulting in simplified installation and minimal slab and footing requirements. Sophisticated manufacturing processes mean a high level of prefabrication is possible. CNC technology (Computerized Numerical Control), allows openings and penetrations to be cut in factory, to the highest level of precision. The natural workability of timber, also allows for these penetrations to be easily made onsite and for very straight forward connections. Minimal manpower is required on-site, greatly reducing the labour cost of the project. Most CLT and Glulam projects only require 2 carpenters and 1 crane operator on-site, to handle the installation of the building envelope.
