Conference topics will cover design implementation for the new increased height in timber multi-residential and commercial buildings, along with engineering solutions with timber and wood building systems, and how to achieve the benefits of faster construction, lower costs, improved safety and sustainability.
Eileen added “WoodSolutions is a significant resource for design and building professionals in providing access to a vast database and latest information on timber products and technical data to assist in specification.
“We produce a comprehensive range of Technical Guides for timber and wood product design, specification and use, with all publications readily available on-line at the WoodSolutions website.
“With the current update to the National Construction Code prescriptive performance/ deemed to satisfy provisions for timber building height up to 25 metres in Class 2, 3 and 5, WoodSolutions will soon be issuing new Technical Guides for mid-rise construction to assist designers and builders to specify timber and wood construction up to an effective height of 8 storeys.
