The Timber Tech Playbook: Lessons from Greg Howes

In this episode of the AEC Business podcast, I sit down with Greg Howes, co-founder of CutMyTimber and the AEC Hackathon, and the founder of Oregon Mass Timber Network.

Greg’s journey spans from Silicon Valley tech to high-precision timber fabrication. We talk about:

  • Why the U.S. could become the world’s biggest mass timber market
  • The realities (and myths) of venture capital in construction
  • Why design-for-manufacturing is still rare in architecture
  • How regulation, standards, and supply chains shape timber’s future
  • The growing role of AI, CNC, and robotics in construction innovation

Greg also shares what’s next for him, including a unique new factory in Oregon and events blending timber, technology, and prefab.

Listen now and rethink what’s possible for building smarter, faster, and more sustainably.
