The upcoming Wood Solutions seminars in Melbourne and Brisbane will focus on the subject of sustainable design in timber construction.

The Wood Solutions Seminar Series encourages participants to ‘Discover new directions in mid-rise timber construction’ with four international and local experts using case studies to prove how traditional timber framing and new massive timber building systems are revolutionising the design and construction sector.

Featuring examples from iconic, sustainably designed apartments and innovative office buildings to cost-saving urban infill projects, the seminars will also guide participants on accessing specialist resources to add the benefits of timber to their projects.
