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.
