Forest Stewardship Council products are a staple of green building, from dimensional lumber and sheet goods to trusses and cross-laminated timber products. While FSC products are more available today, the market can fluctuate wildly and premiums can verge on absurd. This session will dig into challenges faced by designers and builders trying to source FSC for commercial and residential projects, including proven solutions to get products on time and on budget. Building off recent market research, this session will focus on opportunities for practitioners to source more FSC products to ensure that their projects achieve certification goals and support the ethos of FSC’s mission.
