Over 40 industry professionals will converse with delegates on day two of the Timber Offsite Construction 2019 conference and exhibition, promising to deliver diverse and thought-provoking panel sessions and workshops.
Tuesday morning’s panel sessions will focus on several of Australia’s outstanding building projects using offsite timber construction systems. Key participants will discuss challenges and share insights into the design and build process of their projects.
Developers, architects, engineers, builders, fabricators, and building materials suppliers will discuss their involvement in the following projects:
- Engineered wood office buildings for Ballarat GovHub, Ballarat, VIC
- Residence in Glulam and CLT at Merrawarp Rd, Ceres, VIC
- Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Primary School, Sydney, NSW
- Vertical office extension of five storeys at 276 Flinders Street, Melbourne, VIC
Afternoon workshops are set to create open discussion on the 'nuts and bolts' for offsite building projects. Delegates will have the opportunity to discuss cost engineering guides, comparisons between systems, panelisation, software and manufacturing technologies including timber connectors, fire protection compliance and regulatory code changes.
Conference director, Kevin Ezard, says the conference and exhibition leads the way for global development and innovation.
“The expanded two-day program meets the need for more focused topics. Our panels and workshops provide an overview on the pathway for offsite construction and talk through real projects.” says Ezard.
“We’ve assembled the best of the best, locally and globally giving our delegates access to people that are directly involved in the latest technology and construction developments.”
