Laurence Ritchie, WoodSolutions mid-rise advisory program’s cost and program estimator said the model, once completed, would provide a real to-scale-example of lightweight timber framed and Cross Laminated Timber mid-rise construction elements and systems.
“The model will be three storeys in height and is intended to demonstrate the structural, fire rating, and acoustic systems commonly seen in mid-rise timber construction.
Timber Industry Partners to Build Three Storey Mock Up
“In partnership with our timber suppliers, we will be hosting a series of one-on-one discussions, group seminars and displays, hands on training and workshops, student education sessions etc to a broad range of stakeholders throughout the design and construction sector.
“Having actively worked amongst this sector for a number of years, the questions we field and the apparent unknowns led to the idea of this model being developed so people can see, touch, feel, learn and understand timber solutions in mid-rise construction for themselves.” Mr Ritchie said.
