Core offering

Fabric Mass Timber manufactures mass timber building materials — Glue Laminated Timber (GLT) beams and columns and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) floor, roof and wall panels — from sustainably sourced California wood, including trees harvested through wildfire mitigation. The company also designs, engineers, and delivers productized prefabricated building systems (Type f01, f02, f03) for rapid on-site deployment of transitional housing, supported by end-to-end chain of custody and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reporting.

Product overview

Fabric Mass Timber offers a unified portfolio of mass timber products and services focused on sustainable, carbon-neutral building materials manufactured in California. The core product line includes Glue Laminated Timber (GLT) beams and columns, and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) floor, roof and wall panels — all California-made from sustainably sourced wood. These are complemented by Mass Timber Project Services (design-assist, engineering, and fabrication) and Supply Chain Tracing and LCA services for material traceability. The company also offers Prefabricated Building Solutions including the Prefabricated Transitional Housing sub-brand, providing purpose-built modular building systems (Type f01, f02, f03 configurations) for rapid deployment to address California's homelessness crisis. The company uses advanced automated manufacturing technologies to transform overgrown trees from wildfire mitigation into building materials.
