A Viable Option for Industrial Buildings
Advances in timber engineering technology are leading to new design possibilities from long-spanning roof structures to tall timber towers. Improvements to wood products and prefabrication methods, and the suitability of mass timber as a low carbon material that can fit within fire regulations, has led to a re-branding of wood construction as a viable, economical alternative for the industrial development sector.
