Our Team
Experts in Mass Timber Design + Construction
We are experienced builders on a bold mission: to innovate, produce, and deliver mass timber solutions like no other - transforming the built environment and changing the planet’s future.
We’re driven to test new ideas and reach new heights through transparency, collaboration, and creativity. Breaking boundaries and pushing forward with inspired motivation. We see projects through the eyes of the builder. When they say “it won’t work” or “this hasn’t been done before,” we show them how—eliminating speculation and mitigating risk.
MISSION
To accelerate the mainstream adoption of mass timber to benefit the planet and its people.
VISION
A world where buildings have a low carbon footprint and high community impact.
HOLISTIC MASS TIMBER SOLUTIONS
Timberlab's evolution into a fully integrated mass timber firm has been a gradual yet strategic journey, beginning with our roots as a builder within Swinerton. Recognizing the need to expand the market for sustainable timber solutions, Timberlab launched its mass timber fabrication operations in 2021, specializing in custom glulam products. To further scale our vertically integrated capabilities, Timberlab has recently expanded into full-scale mass timber manufacturing, acquiring a glulam manufacturer and a sawmill operation. In 2024, our team announced our investments in a new facility dedicated to cross-laminated timber (CLT). This deliberate growth ensures that our team can meet the increasing demand for engineered wood products and help accelerate the mainstream adoption of mass timber.
