Despite these initial challenges, there are many examples of CLT and mass timber construction throughout the world. One notable project in Australia, dubbed "Forte," is a ten-story residential building developed clt cross laminated timber and designed by Lend Lease. Forte was completed in 2013 and is located in the Victoria Harbour neighborhood of Melbourne. Ten floors of CLT were installed in ten weeks by five skilled laborers. Yes, you read that right, just five laborers completed ten floors of structure.

Because CLT is typically prefabricated in a manufacturing facility, it is immediately ready to be installed upon arrival at the job site. This creates a streamlined process and eliminates unnecessary construction cross laminated timbers waste as very few pieces, if any, need to be cut and formed on site. Lend Lease estimates that the use of CLT shaved 30% off of the total build time, reduced construction traffic, and eliminated more waste than a typical concrete structure.
