Sustainability Matters with Woodworks

Hosted by Kena David (Director of Sustainability, Consigli Construction Co., Inc.), this episode dives deep into sustainable building, cutting-edge materials, and how real progress happens when the industry stops “talking about it” and starts doing it. Featuring two heavyweights: * Jason Reynolds — Senior Director at WoodWorks, where he drives outreach, training and strategic partnerships to accelerate mass-timber adoption. * Matt Tonello, PE — Project Executive at Consigli, a true veteran in mass-timber manufacturing and build methods in the Northeast. We cut through the hype and get real: What’s working now, what’s still a challenge, and how we make sustainability actionable not aspirational. 🎧 What you’ll learn: * Why mass timber is more than a trend — it’s a game-changer for embodied carbon and speed to market. * The upfront planning and coordination required to make advanced materials actually pay off. * How firms like WoodWorks and Consigli are tackling supply-chain, design-delivery and cost barriers head-on. * Clear take-aways you can take back to your team tomorrow to move from “we’ll consider it” to “we’re doing it.” Who should listen: Owners, GCs, sub-contractors, design teams, and anyone in your network who’s serious about staying ahead of the curve instead of being left behind. If you’re involved in recruitment, retention or member services (like what we do here at AGC MA) — this is a powerful value add you can share with your members who want to show they are sustainability-forward.
