What wood cladding are you speccing on commercial and multifamily lately?
Spec'd wood cladding on a few commercial and multifamily jobs now and figured I'd compare notes. Honestly the species matters less than I expected, any decent exterior rated wood holds up if the rainscreen and fasteners are right. What actually drives these jobs is the code side, the assembly fire testing on anything tall, and having a supplier who can hold a tolerance across a big run and hand you submittals. I've been using my supplier for that and it took a lot of pain out of the process. What's everyone else specifying?
