Mass Timber

Three things: advise, supply, and track. As a Mass Timber Supply Advisor, we develop sourcing and procurement strategies and provide specification and project consulting from concept through construction. As a lumber supplier, we source local, regional, salvaged, and certified lumber, manage log-to-lumber procurement, and coordinate directly with your mass timber manufacturer to meet precise specification criteria and schedule. And through our digital platform, we track and report the journey of the wood from source to structure.

Cambium's flagship material, salvaged from the waste stream of fresh-cut timber or reclaimed from buildings and other products — spanning urban salvage, forest health, disaster recovery, and development. It prioritizes salvaged and underutilized trees, delivering traceability, consistent performance, and transparent carbon reporting across a domestic supply chain.

It's the most sustainable option, and it's where we start every conversation. From there, we work with you to establish the best supply chain for your specific project, balancing sustainability goals with performance, timeline, and budget.

Yes. Cambium lumber meets the standards of all verified lumber grading agencies, including SPIB, WWPA, NELMA, and NHLA, ensuring compliance with APA PRG-320 for mass timber manufacturing. Our lumber has been approved and verified with manufacturing partners and successfully implemented into various projects. We also customize specifications to eliminate waste and improve manufacturing quality.

We activate PRG 320-approved and emerging species across U.S. regions where we have active supply or identified supply potential, rated by execution readiness. That includes Doug Fir and Ponderosa Pine in the Pacific Northwest, Spruce Pine Fir South across the Inter-Mountain, Lake States, and Northeast regions, Southern Yellow Pine in the South, and engaged supply in species like Hem-Fir, Yellow Poplar, Eastern Hemlock, and Eastern White Pine. Our supply ecosystem is nationwide.

Yes. Cambium lumber and reporting contribute toward credits for low carbon, circular, and bio-based materials, transparent sourcing, minimized transportation, socioeconomic benefits, and biophilia — including LEEDv5 BD+C credits (such as MRp2 Quantify and Assess Embodied Carbon, MRc1–MRc4, and SSc4) and Living Building Challenge 4.1 imperatives across the Energy, Materials, and Beauty petals. Our platform provides the chain of custody documentation and sourcing proof that ESG teams, sustainability consultants, and certifying bodies need.

Carbon Smart Wood supply chains support community-based programs and local innovation by scaling nonprofit wood upcycling initiatives and reinvesting in regional sawmill technology and workforce development. Analysis of our southeastern supply chain shows 2.2x more people employed, 2.4x more labor income, and 2.3x more tax revenue annually. Salvaging storm-damaged and urban trees can also reduce wildfire risk, limit pest outbreaks, and support watershed health.
