Our project is set inside an old warehouse in Dumbo, NY. This warehouse uses Timber construction which I plan on reusing in my project. Using a very poor photo from when I visited the site I did a study last night of the existing interior construction. This lead to a break down of how much timber is possibly available.
A total of 4 different types of timber are used in building. A post, 2 beams, and the final decking.
 One Module dividing the whole bay using the column grid. | This model is a mess, but you can see how the floors operate. |
 |  |
| Timber Piece | Size | Quantity (bay 3 only) | Total Linear Ft | Use (4 Stories Tall) |
| Post | 1’x1’x11’ | 298 | 2,980 ft | 4 Floors |
| Primary Beam | 1’x1.5’x11.5’ | 298 | 3,427 ft | 3 Floors + Roof |
| Secondary Beam | 4”x12”x18.75’ | 3975 | 74,531 ft | 3 Floors + Roof |
| Deck | 4”x14”x11.5’ | 5088 | 58,512 ft | 3 Floors |
*The ground floor uses the ground instead of timber and the roof uses thinner decking.
