Wood high-rise construction

[clasher]

Yeah, the wood-frame apartments on David Street that I've visited are really noisy but I think a lot of smaller places that go with that kind of stick and frame build are trying to save money so of course noise reduction is considered a luxury. I imagine engineered wood beams are used more like steel members in a high-rise and might be comparable in a fire situation. I also think there's a huge carbon capture benefit to using wood in construction, concrete and steel both use a lot of carbon in their production, especially concrete since it isn't as recycled as steel.
