The Skilled Labor Shortage: A Key Challenge in Construction
The construction industry faces a historic challenge: a national shortage of skilled labor. This shortage increases costs, delays timelines, and limits the ability to scale projects. TMBR’s solutions address this head-on by:
Simplifying Assembly: Prefabricated components and clear instructions reduce the need for highly specialized labor on-site.
Reducing Labor Demands: By optimizing workflows through digital tools, TMBR minimizes time spent on manual tasks.
Enabling Faster Timelines: Streamlined processes ensure that projects are completed efficiently without sacrificing quality or scalability.

What Is the TMBR Physical Platform?
At its core, the Physical Platform is a system of mass timber objects that can be standardized and prefabricated. These objects include everything from basic structural elements to ready-to-install assemblies. The Physical Platform breaks the building process into three main categories:
TMBR Components
TMBR Assemblies
TMBR Chassis
Modular Scalability for Workforce and Disaster Relief Housing
By delivering prefabricated, modular components that require less skilled labor on-site, TMBR is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of workforce and disaster relief housing. Our scalable approach ensures communities can receive safe, efficient housing solutions when they need them most.

TMBR Rails: Connecting Digital and Physical Workflows
TMBR Rails serve as the digital backbone that integrates data and workflows across design, manufacturing, and assembly. By connecting all stakeholders in real-time, Rails ensure that every phase of the project is optimized for efficiency and scalability.
Mitigating Risks with Dynamic Modeling
With its ability to track progress and model dependencies, TMBR’s Rails identify potential risks—like the impact of delayed components—before they occur. This proactive approach minimizes disruptions and keeps projects on track.
