[...] Architects and engineers also have to keep in mind the load-bearing capacity of wood, and have to calculate the size and number of panels and beams required for a given structure as part of this process.142 They also have to select the appropriate connectors for connecting mass timber panels. [...] Construction is the final stage in the supply chain, where the The heavy equipment operators are usually involved in preparing timber that has been extracted from forests and prepared and the building site for construction.145 They operate machinery, processed in mass timber manufacturing companies, is finally such as bulldozers, to excavate earth and rock from the con- assembled at the building s.
