Nick Hewson is the design manager of Xlam, who specialise in the design and production of cross laminated timber. Steel and concrete have been the preferred construction materials, that haven't been challenged for a very long time - until now. CLT arrived and in many cases, can provide a better solution to traditional construction. It is sustainable, quicker to build and can even boost productivity. In this conversation with Nick, we discuss:

• Where CLT is the best material selection
• Fire and acoustic properties for CLT
• The new high tech CLT production plant in Wodonga (open for business today!)

Attention:The interview was recorded before the opening of the Wodonga CLT Plant.  The plant is open for business today!
