Explore the potential of mass timber for commercial buildings of up to seven storeys and learn how to achieve durability and manage risks in mass timber office projects.

The importance of timber design cannot be overstated when it comes to addressing climate change: it can sequester carbon, reduce embodied energy, support sustainable forestry and promote energy-efficient buildings.

In this webinar, expert speakers explore the potential of mass timber for commercial buildings up to seven storeys, uncovering how to achieve durability and manage risks in mass timber office projects. 

Reasons to watch

  • Explore innovative design approaches through case studies selected to inspire creative solutions in your practice

  • Learn how to achieve durability in mass timber in commercial buildings up to 7 storeys 

  • Discover best practices for collaborating with designers to deliver successful mass timber projects

  • Gain insights into effective risk management strategies, particularly related to fire risk

​Intended for

  • Structural engineers from practices of all sizes, wishing to understand timber better

  • ​Architects and wider built-environment professionals aiming to achieve durability and manage risks in mass timber office projects
