About Us
TimberFever
TimberFever® is a design-build competition presented by Moses Structural Engineers. We bring architecture and civil engineering students from universities across Canada together to build a life-size structure out of wood.
Our mission is to create collaboration between students of architecture and engineering, while developing design, construction and communication skills that will be invaluable to their future careers.
TimberFever was inspired by the Defi Cecobois competition held annually by Cecobois in Quebec. Nous vous remercions, Cecobois, de nous inspirer!

Abhishek Wagle
Founding Co-Chair, Alumni
Abhishek got involved in TimberFever in 2014 when he was approached by David Moses and prof. Hitesh Doshi at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Abhishek was vital in developing the grassroots logistics of TimberFever alongside Nick Milani, as well as garnering interest in the idea and funding from the Architectural Society, the TMU chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Engineering Faculty Dean’s office, and TMU. Abhishek is very excited to see each new year’s development of TimberFever.
