Mass timber installation is the core of what we do at Sound Carpentry. Our team specializes in the safe, efficient, and precise installation of CLT, glulam, and engineered timber systems for residential, commercial, and institutional projects across Squamish, Whistler, Vancouver, North Vancouver, and surrounding areas. From early coordination through final installation, we ensure every component is handled with the care and expertise these structures demand.

Site Coordination
Working closely with the general contractor and other trades to maintain safe access, clear communication, and a steady installation rhythm.
Connection & Hardware Installation
Ensuring all bearing conditions, fastening systems, and structural connections are installed to spec and checked throughout the process.
