In this episode, I talk with Nich Allan, Director, QC and Product Development at Bamcore about the River Run Townhomes project, located in Utah.  Nich is a Professional Engineer and has been the Director of Product Development for BamCore since 2017.

BamCore wall systems address four main concerns of the built environment: carbon, cost, labor and time.  By using timber bamboo to create wall panels, carbon and cost are reduced and labor and time are saved.  A bamboo culm can grow up to three feet per day and cutting it actually stimulates regrowth.  Also, bamboo can also sequester carbon, making it a smart contributor to achieving carbon neutrality in our built environment.  

BamCore uses nature’s strongest and fastest growing structural fiber – timber bamboo – to deliver a customized, Code-compliant wall system that is redefining the low-rise built environment.  Their patented Prime Wall system is a bamboo-based stud-less wall that is stronger, greener, thermally superior, healthier, safer, quieter and more quickly installed than any other conventional framing solution available today.  BamCore plans to create more bamboo passed products in the future, including floor, roof, post and beam options.
