Description
Engineered wood products are typically faster to install than other materials and have a reliable behaviour in a fire scenario, making them a safe and cost-effective choice also for complex projects, as many examples in Australia and overseas can demonstrate.
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation has recently launched its Timber Building Program to support the transition to net zero emissions, with a new $300 million fund that will encourage timber construction across the property sector.
In this webinar we look at the value proposition of Engineered Wood Products in mid-rise constructions, their compliance with new regulations and ESG requirements, and how a major global Quantity Surveyor practice manages risk on timber construction projects.
