BORREGASELEVATED ROLE Design-AssistErectionGENERAL CONTRACTORXL ConstructionARCHITECTMGA, SERASTRUCTURAL ENGINEER EquilibriumSUNNYVALE, CAAs an integral part of the design-build team, Elevated contributed to the building’s success, starting in the design phase of the project. The team collaborated with the GC and client to construct a full-scale, two-story timber bay mock-up and, together with the greater design-build team, participated in material testing that informed the final design and project execution plan. In addition, Elevated contributed to constructibility reviews and options analysis during preconstruction and played a key role in early timber receipt, storage, staging, and timely erection on this large-scale, complex mass timber project.

The team performed installation of all siding, as part of our architectural carpentry scope, and were an essential part of the design-build team from very early on, playing a key role in early timber receipt, storage, and timely erection on these three large-scale, complex mass timber buildings. Honoring the client’s environmental stewardship goal, the project was designed and is being built to LEED Platinum certification standards.3 mass timber buildings, including a six-story office building, an events beacon, and a fitness center.Targeting LEED Platinum.Constructed with maximum interior flexibility to accommodate post-COVID work styles. This project used Forest Stewardship Council Certified wood

5EVENTS BEACONThe events beacon features a reciprocally framed roof that spans 70 feet without additional column support.FITNESS CENTERThe fitness center has timber roof cantilevers on three sides and is supported by two-story glulam columns.Composite Beam InstallationThe six-story office building features exposed timber for interior finishes. To meet the California Building Code height limit of 85 feet, the design-build team used a composite system with flat beams affixed to a concrete topping slab using HBV connections. The team used 40-foot spans of 14-inch-deep beams to achieve a high ceiling that complied with building code floor-to-floor height restrictions while also accommodating a raised access floor for MEP systems. 5

7Mass Timber in its Purest FormCLT panels are supported by an intricate glulam framing system, allowing the structure to also serve as an exposed wood finish. Elevated installed 20-foot double cantilevered overhangs, which required extensive planning, shoring and temporary support measures. These structures provide outdoor seating areas and solar protection to minimize heat gain, which helps contribute to the project’s net-zero energy goals.This project used Forest Stewardship Council Certified wood22,000 sf. single-story amenities center.20 ft. double cantilevered overhangs that provide outdoor seating areas as well as solar protection

As Elevated’s first mass timber project, back in 2018, we performed mass timber erection as well as architectural carpentry that included the installation of all siding. CLT was utilized for the roof deck, one of the earliest examples of mass timber in the Bay Area. All wood-based products in the building are sustainability sourced or reclaimed from local sites. For example, the redwood paneling in the dining area was reused from an old house in Mill Valley. The CLT in the commons building extends the warmth of the trellis into the eaves of the building, providing a sense of connection to nature.

In partnership with Aedis Architects, Daedalus Structural Engineering, and XL Construction, Elevated delivered the first TimberQuest mass timber project for Sacred Heart Schools. TimberQuest is a cost and schedule efficient, prefabricated, DSA pre-checked solution that provides 21st-century learning environments within a high-quality, healthy, and sustainable mass timber facility. The project is approximately 4,000 s.f., containing four 1,000 s.f. classrooms, each with a restroom. This project was built out with a quick turnaround of 11 weeks, during the summer, with classrooms ready for students to return to school in the fall. The general contractor was able to add efficiency and speed to the project by consolidating multiple trade scopes, including mass timber erection, rough carpentry, and building and site specialties work, under the Elevated contract. One crew with eight workers completed erection of this innovative project in four weeks and with a total of 1,280 hours worked.4,000 sf. school building with four classrooms.11 week construction (breaking ground to occupancy).Prefabricated mass timber wall and roof assembly.ELEVATED ROLE ErectionGENERAL CONTRACTORXL ConstructionARCHITECTAedisSTRUCTURAL ENGINEER DaedalusSACRED HEARTATHERTON, CA
