 MASS TIMBER IN THE CODE

Photo: Freres Lumber

Construction Types
When does the code allow mass timber to be
used?

IBC defines mass timber systems in IBC Chapter 2

and notes their acceptance and manufacturing
standards in IBC Chapter 23

Permitted anywhere that combustible materials

and heavy timber are allowed, plus more
Construction Types
IBC defines 5 construction types: I, II, III, IV, V
A building must be classified as one of these

Construction Types I & II:

All elements required to be non-combustible materials

However, there are exceptions including several for mass timber

 Construction Types
Where does the code allow MT to be used?
Type IB & II: Roof Decking

Image: DeStafano & Chamberlain, Inc, Robert Benson Photography Image: StructureCraft Builders
Construction Types
All wood-framed building options:
Type III
Exterior walls non-combustible (may be FRTW)
Interior elements any allowed by code, including mass timber
Type V
All building elements are any allowed by code, including mass timber
Types III and V are subdivided to A (protected) and B (unprotected)
Type IV (Heavy Timber)
Exterior walls non-combustible (may be FRTW OR CLT)
Interior elements qualify as Heavy Timber (min. sizes, no concealed spaces
except in 2021 IBC)

Cost Impacts of Construction Type
Construction Type Early Decision Example

4-story building on college campus

• Mostly Group B occupancy, some assembly (events) space
• NFPA 13 sprinklers throughout
• Floor plate = 7,700 SF
• Total Building Area = 23,100 SF

Impact of Assembly Occupancy Placement:

Owner originally desires events space on top (4th) floor

• Requires Construction Type IIIA
If owner permits moving events space to 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor
• Could use Type IIIB

Source: Fast + Epp, Timber Bay Design Tool
Cost Implication of Design Choices
Which is the most efficient option?

Timber Volume Ratio

30’ IIIA – Option 1 0.73 CF / SF
IIIA – Option 2 0.74 CF / SF
IV-HT 0.51 CF / SF

A general rule of thumb for efficient

25’ mass timber fiber volume is no higher
than 0.75 CF per SF for up to a 1 hour
rated structure (higher if 2 hour
exposed timber in tall mass timber).
Source: Fast + Epp, Timber Bay Design Tool
Ratios in the 0.85 to 1.0 CF / SF range
tend to become cost prohibitive

Insurance Perspective on Mass Timber

• Lack of historic loss data = Unknowns

• Unknowns = Risk
• Risk = Higher Premiums
• Some take a ‘wood is wood’ approach

• Important to understand the significant Photo Credit: StructureCraft

differences in how mass timber performs in
the event of a fire, etc. when compared to
light wood-frame and all other building
materials

Photo Credit: GLI Partners

Insurance vs. Building Codes

• It is important to note the distinct difference

between the primary concerns of insurers vs.
primary concerns of building codes
• Insurance primarily concerned with property loss
• Building codes primarily concerned with occupant
safety

• As such, code acceptance and associated testing may

be helpful to insurers in evaluating a new product
like mass timber, but it will not address all concerns

A large-scale MT project can be up to 2% higher in direct

costs, but a minimum of 20% lower in project overhead costs.
The net result is cost-neutrality and higher value.
