Adam Strong is Managing Director at Strongbuild, a Sydney-based company specialising in streamlined building systems and sustainable resources with a focus on the design and delivery of multi-residential, aged-care and retirement living projects. One of the advantages of timber, is it's ability to enable prefabrication for a building to simultaneously improve quality, price and program for a project.  In this interview with Adam we discuss: 

  

• How stepping back in the supply chain has given Strongbuild the control to produce higher quality offsite, enable higher productivity onsite and push innovation 
• Why early contractor involvement is key to unlocking all of the productivity benefits for timber construction 
• Why design, detailing and logistics are fundamentals for a successful prefabricated project 

  

Building professionals globally are turning to timber in mid-rise construction as it provides a healthier, environmentally friendly (carbon), sustainable, efficiently off-site prefabricated solution that dramatically reduces construction times and accordingly the overall cost of the project.
