The use of Mass Timber for construction is exploding in popularity. With this increase interest comes a variety of new solutions, changes to regulations and providers of services.
This seminar will address the recently published 2019 National Construction Code; Deemed-to-Satisfy changes to fire protected timber, where the range of buildings, up to 25 m in height, now include all buildings types. Provide case studies on current Australian mass timber projects, including;
- Bunjil Place; winner of 2018 Australian Timber Design Awards
- Daramu House; Lendlease’ latest office buildings at Barangaroo
- BVN’s collection of timber projects
Furthermore discussion will be had on the next generation of mass timber building construction methods, such as CLT band beams, where Laminated Veneer Lumber excels and free-form/parametric timber design process and examples. Additionally, the seminar will address how successful fire certification process can be achieved, and the latest and updated cost information on timber buildings.
Also on hand will be providers of products and services to discuss your project.
