This webinar discusses the exciting uptake in the use of timber for larger scale commercial buildings in New Zealand, driven by an increased awareness in the carbon footprint of a building.  Lisa Oliver, Sustainability Leader at Holmes Aus & NZ and President of the New Zealand Timber Design Society, covers topics including why timber projects are more sustainable in the first place, smart timber projects and how and when to collaborate with all stakeholders to achieve the best outcomes. She is followed by Karyn Goble, Project Director in Fire Engineering at Holmes, who dives into the fire safety measures and legislation associated with mass timber structures.
