Forté Living,
the world's tallest timber residential building (10 storeys).
The presentations cover essential CLT design issues, the cost advantages of CLT solutions, large-span LVL and Glulam floor systems, fire and acoustics, and much more.

Get ready for a revolution in timber design |

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 00:00 |
For over 14 years the
Australian Timber Design Awards
has been spreading the word about the very latest in timber design.
We've written of how architects are using recent innovations in engineered wood products to design high
and wide in timber (e.g.
Forté Living
in Melbourne, or London's
Stadhaus).
And we've been promising for some years
that a new generation of engineered wood products will shortly hit our shores.
Well, those technologies have now arrived. The Structural Timber Innovation Company and several of our leading
universities have just completed a five-year research program into new timber systems for multi-storey and long-span buildings.
The result is
EXPAN,
a range of world-class, entirely new timber technologies for large-span commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
These include post-stressed beam and frame systems, large-span floors, roof systems and new timber connectors.
To discover for yourself the potential of EXPAN, sign up for the
EXPAN Timber Technology for Commercial Buildings Workshop.
This all-day workshop will provide comprehensive guides to each new timber technology and a detailed worked example. The dates are:
Brisbane -- 5 June 2013
Sydney -- 6 June 2013
Melbourne -- 7 June 2013
Get your entries in now!
Entries to the Australian Timber Design Awards close 28 June 2013, but get started on your entry now to get ahead of the crowd. Any project finished between February 2010 and June 2013 is eligible for entry.

EXPAN
timber technology will present the case studies.
Dates: 22-24 April 2013
Cost: $200 AUD. Travel and accommodation at own expense. (Accommodation suggestions provided.)
CPD Points: May be available. Contact us for details.

New award announced
Tilling
has signed up as a Silver Partner of the Australian Timber Design Awards to sponsor the
new Western Red Cedar Award.
Judging from past entries, this should be a popular award, particularly among those entering projects
that feature exposed timber (western red cedar enjoys high natural resistance to decay).
To enter for this or any other of the awards, read through the
entry categories
and then
sign up for the 2013 Awards! |

New award up for grabs |

Wednesday, 06 March 2013 00:00 |
The Australian Timber Design Awards is pleased to announce that
The Window and Door Industry Council
(WADIC) is sponsoring a new award: The Excellence in the Use of Timber Products - Windows and Doors Award.
In previous years the Awards have featured stunning examples of timber use in windows and doors, so we expect that this new
category will receive plenty of attention from entrants. In fact, early interest in this new category has already been
significant -- and we've never before seen so many early entrants.
Get started early!
