The new timing will be Monday and Tuesday 21-22 June 2021 at the Crown Promenade Melbourne, with a focus on timber and technology in construction, and the growing trend to attaining net zero carbon buildings.
Event organiser Kevin Ezard of Frame Australia said: “With a year to go, we are confident of ensuring face-to-face interaction and networking for delegates, presenters, and exhibitors, providing an exceptional opportunity to gain contacts and knowledge in these rapidly developing sectors”.
Conference sessions will present the latest global and local advancements now emerging in building design and construction. Half-day topic themes will embrace building design influences, construction productivity, prefabrication & technology, and global wood building projects.
In particular, the increasing numbers of wood building projects around Australia provides an expanding choice of project panels to discuss actual challenges and solutions experienced.
“I am really looking forward to an excellent program and introducing some exciting new features for our 23rd year of the event,” Mr Ezard said.
“These changing times are also providing openings for new communication technologies to be implemented with a broader set of solutions to meet changing expectations” he concluded.
Session program details and delegate registration will be available in February 2021 from the website www.timberoffsiteconstruction.com.au
