Why MMT connections?
Smarter systems. Stronger outcomes.
Every project relies on connections to deliver speed, safety, and reliability. Mercer Mass Timber designs and engineers connection systems that integrate seamlessly from model to site. By combining factory precision with field-ready simplicity, our solutions reduce labor, improve sequencing, and give designers confidence in both performance and appearance.
Speed
Factory-installed details streamline erection and minimize site labor.
Clarity
Standardized solutions and BIM-ready models simplify coordination.
Confidence
Engineered capacity, tested to fit, and code-compliant detailing.
Support
Technical expertise from schematic design through installation.

Connection types
MMT’s engineered connections cover every stage of mass timber construction, from foundation to structure to vertical continuity. Below are three representative systems that illustrate our approach.

01 Connection Product Type
Column base connection
The column base is factory-installed to reduce on-site labor and variability, helping projects start fast and stay on schedule. By raising the glulam clear of the slab, the detail protects against moisture and simplifies inspections. Built-in tolerances accommodate site conditions while maintaining reliable axial, shear, and moment transfer.
Factory-installed for quick, predictable assembly
Raised bearing surface protects against moisture exposure
Engineered performance with verified load paths and tolerances
Supports efficient sequencing and reduced crane time
02 Connection Product Type
Concealed beam hanger connection
This connection enables beams to frame seamlessly into columns without exposed steel, preserving architectural intent while delivering structural performance. Factory alignment minimizes site adjustments, and fire and code considerations are incorporated into the detailing.
Preserves architectural intent with concealed steel
Factory alignment reduces field work and variability
Engineered for structural capacity and fire protection requirements
Streamlined installation for faster framing cycles
03 Connection Product Type
Column splice connection
Column splices align multi-story elements with engineered accuracy while limiting the use of steel. The concealed geometry delivers dependable axial load transfer, clean architectural transitions, and a lower-carbon solution.
Reliable axial load transfer with precise alignment tolerances
Concealed detailing for clean visual continuity
Low-carbon approach with reduced steel content
Simplifies site erection and speeds up vertical assembly

BIM coordination + sequencing
Integrated from model to site.
Every connection we design is embedded into building model from day one. With BIM-integrated detail libraries, we coordinate fabrication, logistics, and erection sequencing to reduce field risk. Installation steps are optimized for crane time and safety, ensuring predictable schedules and efficient site operations.
BIM-integrated details
Revit/Tekla families aligned with fabrication constraints.
Installation-ready sequencing
Connection order mapped to crane picks and site logistics.
Reduced risk
Early clash detection and accurate tolerances minimize rework.
Safety in mind
Details designed for safe handling and field execution.
