Abstract Engineered wood supply directly affects the construction cost and duration of structural timber work in mid- to high-rise mass timber buildings. This study quantitatively analyzes these impacts under different supply scenarios. A BIM-based model is used to calculate the volumetric quantities of engineered wood structural members, followed by comparative analysis under domestic and overseas supply conditions. The results show that the unit cost is 7.55 million KRW per cubic meter for domestic supply and 4.55 million KRW per cubic meter for overseas supply including maritime transport, representing a 39.8 percent reduction. In terms of construction duration, the domestic supply scenario requires 895 days, while the overseas supply scenario requires 127 days including shipping time, resulting in an 85.8 percent reduction. These findings indicate that construction cost and duration are strongly influenced by the scale and maturity of engineered wood industrial infrastructure. Given the early stage of domestic industry development, the complementary use of overseas infrastructure offers a practical approach to support the adoption of mid- to high-rise mass timber buildings. The derived indicators also support preliminary cost and schedule estimation during early planning stages.
