Boise Cascade Engineered Wood for Every Building Type

From single-family homes to large-scale commercial developments, our structural wood products deliver verifiable performance across the full spectrum of construction.

Residential Framing with Engineered Wood
Residential Construction

Single-Family & Multifamily Framing

Residential builders depend on dimensional consistency and precise load data. BCI Joists reduce crown-and-bow callbacks, while VERSA-LAM headers simplify rough opening installations without custom sizing.

Typical Application: 9½"–14" BCI Joists for floor systems spanning 12–22 ft; 3½"×5½" VERSA-LAM LVL for window and door headers.

Pre-installed knockouts on BCI Joists accommodate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing runs without cutting — reducing coordination time on tight framing schedules.

  • VERSA-LAM® LVL Beams & Headers
  • Sturd-I-Floor® Plywood Panels
  • VERSA-RIM® Rim Board
  • BC® Rated Roof Sheathing

Commercial Construction Engineered Wood
Commercial Construction

Light Commercial & Mixed-Use Structures

Mass timber and hybrid wood-steel structures increasingly rely on engineered wood for long-span floor systems and column applications where dimensional stability under load matters.

Typical Application: 20" BCI Joists for spans to 30 ft; VERSA-LAM® PSL columns for point loads exceeding 20 kips; OSB for code-compliant shear wall sheathing.

Our technical team provides ICC-ES ESR documentation and can participate in structural plan reviews for jurisdictions requiring engineered product certifications.

  • VERSA-LAM® PSL — Columns & Transfer Beams
  • BCI® Joists — Large-Floor Systems
  • OSB Sheathing — Shear Wall Applications

Modular Housing Engineered Wood
Off-Site Construction

Modular & Prefabricated Housing

Off-site construction requires material tolerances tighter than traditional site-built framing. BCI Joists arrive straight and dimensionally consistent — critical when floor modules are assembled in controlled factory environments.

Key Advantage: Consistent E-value (E=2.0×10⁶ psi) and depth tolerances within ±1/16" support precision panel assembly without field shimming.

We offer supply-chain programs for high-volume modular manufacturers including direct-to-factory delivery scheduling, consignment stocking, and dedicated account management.

  • BCI® Joists — Precision Modular Floor Systems
  • Sturd-I-Floor® — Factory-Cut Floor Decking
  • VERSA-LAM® — Roof Ridge & Hip Beams
  • VERSA-RIM® — Module Perimeter Framing

Repair and Remodel with Engineered Wood
Renovation & Repair

Repair, Remodel & Retrofit Projects

Replacing damaged floor joists or sistering new members into existing framing demands products that work alongside legacy lumber without compatibility issues.

Note: BCI Joists for retrofit applications should match existing floor depth within ¼". VERSA-LAM® headers can be face-mounted to existing trimmers without structural modification in most configurations — verify with local engineer.

Our technical support team can review your remodel plans and recommend the correct product depth and grade combination for code-compliant retrofits.

  • VERSA-LAM® — Header Replacement
  • BC® Rated Sheathing — Subfloor Replacement
