In part two of this two part series, we discuss: 

• How a wholistic view is the key to enabling construction gains in timber projects 
• Why the approach to timber buildings need to be designed from a first principles paradigm and the opportunities for smaller companies to come on this timber journey 

• Why Australia is in the unique position to develop a supply sustainably sourced supply chain to enable a growing market 

  

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. 

  

This is part one of the two part series, stay tuned for part two next week.
