Ontario moves to allow 18-storey timber buildings
Ontario has joined other provinces in a growing trend to upgrade its building code allowing encapsulated mass timber construction up to 18 storeys tall.
An upgrade in Ontario’s Building Code, which currently permits residential and commercial buildings to use mass timber up to 12 storeys tall, will help build homes faster and reduce long-term construction costs, the province said in announcing the move Monday.
