Tall Mass Timber Buildings are growing in popularity because of their strength, resilience and efficiency. These mass timber buildings are also cost effective and have been built with less disturbance to the surrounding community because of the ease and speed of construction using mass timber components. These buildings are examples of Tall Mass Timber Buildings (TMTB) approved by local officials and built under local codes. The ICC Ad Hoc Committee on Tall Wood Buildings has made proposals to ensure that the IBC remains relevant and provides local officials with the tools they need to ensure future mass timber buildings meet the highest standards.
