👀 The top players in the construction industy are meeting for 3-days in Denver... Teaching how to build "multifamily/mixed-use," sustainably with Mass Timber. 🎟️ AGENDA & TICKETS > www.masstimber.group ⁉️ Where do you want to be in 1-3 years? 1) Having a team that's more educated about Mass Timber construction? 2) Or having a team that is less educated? - What are your customers asking more of these last few years? More engineered Timber or more concrete or steel!? - There are only a few conferences in the world that can get you into a room with this many experienced Mass Timber teams. 🎯 Come revolutionize the building industy with us!! One team, one fight!! 🌲♻️🌲 - Last question... Do you think over the next 5 years. Our government and city codes will make developers build more energy efficient buildings, or less? Do you think they will demand buildings that take more carbon resources or less? - Skate to where the puck is going... Not where it was hit! 🥅 🏒 . . . . . Brady Potts
