This seminar explores how Cross-Laminated Timber can be used today for multi-residential, commercial and public building applications. Key design, specification and supply details are discussed, and practical case studies on recently constructed buildings presented. Using mass timber in multi-storey residential and commercial buildings is now a reality in Australia. Increasing availability of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), along with changes to the National Construction Code, provide opportunities offered with this exceptional building material.
This seminar is a must for design, and building professionals specifying, using and approving timber in commercial building applications, including architects and building designers, engineers, developers, builders and building certifiers, University and TAFE Lecturers and other professionals
