As of the 1st of May, the new 2016 National Construction Code (NCC) now allows the construction of mid-rise timber buildings up to 25m effective height (approx 8 storeys), under the NCC Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) provisions for Class 2 (apartment), Class 3 (e.g. hotels) and Class 5 (office) buildings. Recent projects by leading Australian developers and builders have proven in practice that these systems can provide more cost effective construction solutions than traditional alternative approaches.
This free seminar will focus on the new mid-rise timber building opportunity now at hand. Starting with a special and unique case study of the Canadian code change and the market development activities and success since; followed by a series of informative and specification based presentations from the key system supply chain members on their individual products and how they fit under both the new NCC DTS and Alternative Solution approaches. This seminar is a must for all building and design professionals with an interest in exploring mid-rise timber construction, including architects, engineers, building designers, certifiers.
