• Enabling Prefabricated Timber Building Systems in Commercial Construction (PNA324-1314)

  This project identifies drivers for, and barriers to, the increased use of prefabricated timber building (PTB) systems in Class 2 to 9 commercial buildings, such as apartments, hotels, office ... Read More

• Exploring construction using whole trees

  Researchers at the Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) are testing trusses, which provide structural support for buildings, made from whole trees. One such truss had a clear span of 16.7 metres a... Read More

• Extension of the Concession which Allows Timber Framed Construction in Class 2 Buildings to Include Class 3 Buildings

  Timber construction in multi-residential buildings has been restricted by building regulations, often without a basis in science. This project investigated extending the building code provisi... Read More

• From the floor up! New opportunities for fibre-managed plantation hardwood in construction

  Researchers from the University of Tasmania, with support from industry partners Forico and Britton Timbers, were inspired by the opportunities associated with the estimated 960,000 ha of hard... Read More

• LCA Study Investigating the Impact of Construction on Sloping Sites

  The building sector is increasingly aware of the environmental impact of buildings. In Australia buildings produce approximately 23% of this country’s total Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. Li... Read More

• Life Cycle Assessment of a cross laminated timber building

  This project investigates the environmental performance associated with building, operating (heating, cooling, hot water and lighting systems) and end-of-life of the new multi-storey, cross la... Read More

• Prefabricated Timber Ground Floor Systems Final Summary Report

  For new residential and commercial building owners, having an economical, easy to install timber floor system creates many more design options. This research project has developed a practical... Read More

• Project launched to 3D print houses with cellulose

  While the construction industry today depends a great deal on the use of wood and wood products, researchers in Sweden may be able to change the entire landscape of construction via a unique 3... Read More

• Timber in multi-residential, commercial and industrial building: Recognising opportunities and constraints

  This report explores the potential increased use of timber and wood products in building construction, particularly in the growing multi-residential (i.e. units, hotels, etc.), commercial (i.e... Read More

• Transition strategies: Accelerating social acceptance and removing the barriers to prefabricated multi-storey timber urban infill developments in Australia using CLT construction systems

  This report reviewed and formulated strategies for increasing the uptake of and social acceptance of living in multi-storey cross-laminated timber(CLT)-constructed buildings in infill developm... Read More
