Ms. Taylor Cabot
Mass Timber Preconstruction Manager Timberlab
Taylor Cabot is a Preconstruction Manager with Timberlab. She trained as an architect and transitioned into construction when a mission to build community-minded and resilient structures led her to embrace mass timber. After joining the timber movement in 2014, she quickly became involved in the some of the most innovative and boundary pushing mass timber projects in North America. Most notably, her work on Carbon12 in Portland, Oregon garnered her a Women of Vision award. With Swinerton and now, Timberlab, Cabot has continued to push the mass timber envelope managing Ascent, the tallest hybrid timber structure in the world and Heartwood, the first Type VI-C project in the US. She has over 15 years of project management experience in construction, a decade solely in mass timber, and has delivered over a million square feet of timber structures. A noted speaker, she has presented at numerous conferences on the benefits of mass timber and the use of trade partners in preconstruction.

The Tesla of Commercial Real Estate: How Mass Timber Is Changing the Way We Design and Build
In recent decades, no building material has inspired awe, passion, and innovation like mass timber. Nature's building solution is transforming the construction industry because it sequesters carbon, greatly improves speed and precision, significantly reduces the size of the framing crew, and, most important, creates a superior product that occupants love.
The United States has been behind Europe and Canada in the production and use of mass timber and many municipal codes haven't even contemplated tall timber as a solution. But in recent years that has changed, as companies such as Google, Adidas, Atlassian, and Walmart have embraced mass timber and cities have updated codes to allow for taller mass timber structures to be built. This session serves as a "state of the union" for mass timber: how far it has come, its massive future potential, and the biggest challenges (and solutions) for its progress.
