The project 752 High Street Thornburry is a 5 Storey CLT project set to start construction in October 2019. The architect and the client pursued CLT in order for it's sustainability attributes.  We're lucky to sit down with the architect, Paul Gardiner from Gardiner Architects, Nathan Benbow the engineer from Vistek and the builders Alastair Holmes and Chris Wood from Sinjen. This project has multiple challenges in design and construction that has required innovative solutions from the project team.

 

In part 2 of the interview we discuss:

• How to achieve efficient construction for the project
• Importance of managing moisture in design and construction
• The lessons learned from the architect, builder and engineer
