Timber has been used in many applications, ranging from residential housing to 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 presented recent case studies, drawn locally from South Australia, showing how timber had been specified for multiple projects and the results of the construction process.
The event was on 8th April 2019 at Engineers Australia, Level 11 - 108 King William St Adelaide, 5000
