How it helps teams

Built for early-stage project planning

Explore hybrid CLT and CFS structural systems

Understand cost and carbon implications earlier in design

Support prefabricated, lower-carbon construction strategies

01

Prototype structural
systems in real time

Rapidly model hybrid CLT and cold-formed steel structural schemes to explore viable approaches for mid-rise housing. 

02

Cost and
carbon clarity

Generate high-level cost, embodied carbon, and quantity takeoffs to assess how structural systems impact project outcomes and material requirements.

03

Feasibility backed by
engineering review

BuildSpec provides engineering calculations conceptually validated by Mercer Mass Timber for early-stage design. This tool is a feasibility aid intended for use alongside professional judgment and the project’s Engineer of Record. Contact MMT for a project-specific assessment to move beyond the feasibility stage.

Results are preliminary, assumption-based, and must be independently verified by licensed professionals before use in design, permitting, or construction. Outputs generated do not constitute a formal bid, contract, or binding offer for the supply of materials. All material quantities and costs are approximations based on generalized assumptions and must be validated through a formal MMT quoting process.
