In their words

Why SmartLam builds on SPEC

“As we move in with our partners at SPEC Toolbox, this allows companies entering the mass timber market to design with ease using our products in glulam and CLT, and to design connections that are off the shelf and readily available, dropped straight into the customer’s drawings. SPEC Toolbox helps address one of the biggest issues in the industry: newer structural engineers designing with mass timber tend to be more conservative than required, which often makes a project not pencil out. SPEC Toolbox allows straightforward, accepted, repeatable connections and product specifications to be easily dropped into a project.”
