We eliminate the development doom loop* and produce building designs that are optimized, functional, and economically viable.
*the development doom loop forms when a developer outsources critical design decisions, usually due to a lack of subject matter expertise. When the design doesn’t work, changes are made, making the numbers stale. The project is re-bid and if it still doesn’t work, the cycle repeats. Design costs pile up, the schedule blows up, and this often leads to project failure.
What we do
We offer a different development process, where buildings are thought of as products that use factory-manufactured components.
The precision of mass timber and digital design, combined with known, feasible configurations, creates buildings that are beautiful and sustainable with shorter design and build times.
This approach creates a superior, highly differentiated building while lowering risk in pre-development and construction.
Core Competencies
-
Feasibility + Site Selection
Timber + Partners has a proprietary, evidence-based framework for identifying the factors and conditions that make mass timber projects successful.
-
Preconstruction + Design
Using digital modeling and volumetric design principles, we created a prototype based on the recently completed Ascent MKE, allowing for unprecedented efficiency and precision in the development process.
-
Sourcing + Logistics
Leveraging our worldwide network can remove supply chain challenges - eliminating project delays and ensuring the highest quality materials.
-
Construction Efficiency
The precision and predictability of mass timber combined with digital design also benefits the construction schedule and mitigates risk.
-
Codes + Permittting
While code adoption of tall timber varies, we have experience navigating challenges and forging private-public partnerships to move projects forward.
-
Financing
Our team has experience financing trailblazing projects in the midst of a global pandemic, as well as a 30+ year track record of financially successful, innovative development.
