While supporting the growth of mid-rise timber buildings over the last 4 years, by assisting a variety of project teams across Australia, the WoodSolutions MAP team has had access to a wide range of learnings across all disciplines, which they will share in this webinar. With extensive experience in property development, construction, timber engineering and architecture, costing and planning, the MAP team continues to support a broad range of developments from early stages to delivery. Join us Tuesday the 15th to learn about timber buildings procurement and the supply chain, ‘timber first’ structural design and tips for cost efficient timber structures. By registering for this free WoodSolutions webinar you agree to have your details added to the WoodSolutions database. They will not be sold or shared with any other organisation.

Speakers
| Paolo Lavisci Program Development Manager @WoodSolutions MAP Paolo joined the team since day one and has advised for most of the mid-rise timber projects in Victoria, thus effectively changing some mindsets in the market and helping developers, builders and consultants to take advantage of the benefits of wood-based structural systems by managing the risks and optimising their results. With a PhD in Industrial Technologies - Wood, Paolo has over 30 years of experience in the sector, with advisory and hands-on roles in design, construction, project management, research and product development, teaching and training. He worked in the plywood industry for 7 years before starting an independent timber engineering practice, through which he coordinated the design and specification of multi-storey timber buildings, new models for prefabricated homes and transportable units, plywood and Cross Laminated Timber manufacturing plants. He also authored a widely-used book on the design of timber structures.

| Adam Jones Engineering Advisor @WoodSolutions MAP Adam completed his civil engineering degree with honours at Monash University in 2015 and started his career at WSP Global, then joined TPC Solutions specialising in Engineered Wood building design and assisting the implementation of the TimberTech structural engineering software. Named the GBCA Future Green Leader of the Year for 2019, Adam is very passionate about the structural engineers’ role to play in reducing embodied energy emissions of buildings. He has pursued this passion with an entrepreneurial spirit, creating the podcasts Future of Structures, Timber Talks and the online course Smart Embodied Energy Solutions. He was previously the lead researcher for the ‘Rethinking Cement’ report with Beyond Zero Emissions. Within the WoodSolutions team, Adam is looking forward to every opportunity of getting efficient designs to demonstrate the benefits of specifying timber building systems in mid-rise development projects.

| Laurence Ritchie Cost and Program Estimator @WoodSolutions MAP With a Master’s degree in Construction Management (Cost Management major), experience in tier 1 construction, and over a decade working in the property sector, Laurence brings further inter-disciplinary knowledge to the Mid-rise Advisory Program team. Drawing on this wholistic understanding Laurence engages in project evaluation and design optimisation services, ultimately requiring the estimation of construction programs and costs. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for innovation in construction, Laurence sees opportunity for timber systems to change the way we build for the better. A member of the Mid-rise Advisory Team since 2017, Laurence has developed an in depth understanding of the possibilities and strengths of timber in construction. He is excited to be involved in the exponential growth of Australian timber construction, and is enthusiastic to support project team in their realisation of their next timber building.
