Tamlyn Director of Architectural Products Ian Daniels joined host Tyler Kern remotely to address the company’s response to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting several key aspects of the company’s operations as coronavirus continues to disrupt business the world over.

For outside sales staff and distributors, Tamlyn is working to provide options for remote productivity, such as increased video capabilities and the creation of digital educational assets designed to promote communication and knowledge without face-to-face meetings.

“We’re kind of taking a twofold approach,” Daniels said. “For our outside sales team, what we’re doing is, obviously, a lot of video … At our home base back in Houston, what we’re doing, which is pretty cool, is we’ve taken as many people as we can that can work from home, we’ve had them work from home.”

Tamlyn has also taken other precautions for on-site staff, such as regular disinfecting, promotion of social distancing, even in-office, and more.

To help provide critical protective masks, Tamlyn is partnering with Paty, Inc., a company that makes infant clothing, to leverage its commercial, weather-resistant barrier material to make that protective equipment.

Finally, Daniels said the XtremeTrim product line, Tamlyn’s flagship product, is doing as well as ever.

“It hasn’t slowed down. Actually, it’s probably allowed us to ramp it up, a little bit,” he said. “It’s given some of our guys some time to sit back, think about new profiles and start creating new profiles. It’s also enabled some business-to-business partnerships to come back into the realm. … The really exciting thing for us is we’ve done some new, two-piece profiles.”

HUD backs a 24-month study on mass-timber modules that ship and stack faster

HUD backs a 24-month study on mass-timber modules that ship and stack faster

HUD funded a 24-month Washington State University project on hybrid mass-timber modular housing. It targets transportability and faster site assembly. A 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review says 2D modular CLT tends to ship farther and build faster than 3D.

  • 01If transportation is the cost driver, HUD’s study plan points straight at the spec: treat the truck interface, tie-downs, and lifting points as part of the structural module design, not afterthought hardware.
  • 02The most actionable design fork in the CLT modular literature is 2D versus 3D: according to a 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review, 2D modules are typically moved longer distances and assembled faster on average.
  • 03Owners who want future change-of-use optionality can start writing it into module grids and connection details now. HUD-backed research is explicitly testing modules that can be repurposed across occupancies over their lifetime.

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD’s 24-month mass timber modular project goes after the cost driver: shipping the modules

HUD is funding a 24-month Washington State University project to redesign modular housing modules around transport and fast site assembly. Shipping is the design constraint. A 2023 Journal of Building Engineering review of 2009–2021 modular CLT projects suggests faster construction timelines, but logistics choices still decide feasibility.

  • 01In modular housing, transportation is becoming a first-order engineering spec, the module that is cheapest to build can still be the most expensive to move.
  • 02The 2023 review found 2D modular CLT projects were, on average, transported farther and built faster than 3D ones, so configuration choice shapes both transport reach and install time.

Insurance and moisture controls now shape mass timber schedules

Insurance and moisture controls now shape mass timber schedules

Mass timber can go up as little as one day per floor. But because the material is still new in the U.S., builder’s risk and property insurance can be harder to place and pricier, with underwriters pressing for water-exposure controls. Metropolis says mass timber is increasingly a mainstream structural option across North America.

  • 01The schedule advantage is real, but it is only bankable if the project has a funded moisture-control plan from mill to dry-in.
  • 02Insurance has become an early design input for mass timber, forcing owners to lock in risk controls and documentation before procurement.
  • 03For mid-rise and campus projects, mass timber’s headline benchmark is cycle time per floor, which shifts schedule risk onto crane picks, staging, moisture protection, and inspection windows.
