The residential construction sector in Australia is facing some major challenges.
With significantly longer build times and site delays, and the uncertain impact of new 7-Star Residential Energy Efficiency provisions due to be implemented in Oct 2023, there’s now more than ever a need to prepare for what’s coming next to ensure that you are constructing your homes correctly.
Sponsored by the Timber Framing Collective, this WoodSolutions webinar focuses on these two important topics, providing practical information for builders and other building professional groups:
• 7-Star and Timber Framed Construction –what does it all mean?
• Best Practices for Caring for Timber Frames During Construction and Delays
Join us to hear from two leading experts on these important topics, that are set to have a major impact on residential building.
Timber framing continues to be the leading product choice for building Australian homes - and for Building a Better World. Timber is not only strong, versatile, fast, easy to install or adapt, and cost-effective, it is also one of the most environmentally friendly building materials available, being renewable, sustainable, carbon-positive, and a natural insulator.
