About Us
Reach New Heights in Sustainable Development
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 in the U.S. commercial construction market to benefit the planet and its people.
VISION
A world where buildings have a low carbon footprint and high community impact.
DEEP ROOTS IN CONSTRUCTION
Born from Swinerton Builders, a company known for 130+ years of excellence and innovation, Timberlab grew from the desire to alleviate pinch points in the mass timber industry through ownership of essential services and products that are not widely available in the market.
