You may see them in your inbox, on your next Zoom call—or popping up in your city. Here’s what you need to know about TimberBLDR’s dynamic duo.
Who (or What) Is the Timber Tandem?
They move fast, talk timber, and have trouble staying in one place long enough for a photo (yes, the photo is AI-generated—Trent’s always worried about his hat hair anyway).
Meet Trent and Vittorio: two different backgrounds, one shared goal: helping teams across the country design smarter, build faster, and deliver better with mass timber.
Together, they form the Timber Tandem—a unique blend of field-first practicality and academic design expertise. Whether you’re an architect working through complex details, a GC managing trades and sequencing, or a developer seeking confidence in cost and schedule, this duo has your back.
Why the Timber Tandem Exists
As interest in mass timber continues to grow, so do the challenges. The materials are different. The sequencing is critical. And success often comes down to how early you align design and constructability.
That’s where Trent and Vittorio come in.
They’re traveling across the country and joining virtual project teams to help bridge the gap between early design and real-world execution. The Timber Tandem makes it easier for architects, developers, and builders to navigate mass timber’s opportunities and its complexities.
Meet the Duo
🌲 Trent: Builder’s Mindset, Field-Tested Insight
Based in Texas, Trent brings hands-on construction experience and deep knowledge of mass timber installation. He specializes in:
-
Sequencing and install strategy
-
Constructability reviews
-
Virtual construction tools and workflows
-
Site logistics and preconstruction planning
He’s your go-to when it’s time to turn concept into coordinated, buildable plans.
🏗️ Vittorio: Design Depth Meets Structural Precision
Originally from Italy, Vittorio is a PhD architect focused on the academic and applied aspects of timber design. His expertise includes:
-
Structural logic and timber performance
-
Materiality and detailing
-
Research-backed insights into emerging systems and standards
He works closely with design teams to make sure creativity is met with constructible solutions.
What They Bring to the Table
Mass timber doesn’t get built on vision alone. It requires coordination, expertise, and clear communication between design and construction teams.
Here’s what the Timber Tandem delivers:
-
For Architects: Early detailing guidance, real-world constructability checks, and collaboration that elevates both form and function.
-
For Developers: Clearer cost modeling, timeline forecasting, and delivery strategies tailored to timber systems.
-
For General Contractors: Support with trade coordination, risk mitigation, and efficient install planning.
Timber Projects That Don’t Just Inspire—They Get Built
With Trent and Vittorio involved, teams gain more than just consultants—they gain collaborators who care deeply about the success of the project and the people behind it.
Whether it’s your first time working with timber or your tenth, the Timber Tandem is here to make the process smoother, more efficient, and more rewarding.
