Designing and Building Better with Timber (Auckland)

From design to delivery:
gain the confidence to advocate for timber when it matters most

Join us at this co-hosted seminar presented by Timber Design Society & Mid-Rise Wood Construction, a handpicked panel of experts will be exploring architectural and structural design considerations across the project lifecycle, along with specialist topics including fire, acoustics, BIM, moisture management, carbon, and cost.

This full day event aims to leave ‘fresh timber converts’ and the already converted alike, inspired to choose wood as the material of choice for their next project - with a clear understanding of its pros and cons, and the confidence knowing where to find expert support to help you successfully navigate your next timber project.

Who should attend

Whoever you are within the industry, and wherever you are on your timber learning journey, you’ll find practical insights to take away. The networking session at the end provides an opportunity to connect and share with peers.
