Timber has been used in various applications from residential housing, marine structures, and more recently mid-rise and multi-storey buildings.
However, which species of timber and engineered timber product can be used in the various architectural and structural applications available to those specifying timber?
This seminar will present various recent case studies, drawn locally from South Australia, in how timber has been specified for multiple projects and the results of the construction process.
