WoodSolutions and HIA Seminar (NSW North Rye)

Start/End Date
04 Jul 2016 10:00am
Location
4 Byfield Street, Macquarie Park

The WoodSolutions seminar will deliver a hands-on learning experience, which will provide participants with an understanding of the recent National Construction Code (NCC) changes.

 

The changes create Deemed-to-Satisfy solutions to build massive timber and timber framed Class 2 (apartments), Class 3 (hotels) and Class 5 (office) buildings, up to an effective height of 25m resulting in cost effective and environmentally friendlier mid-rise buildings.

 

The provisions address both traditional ‘timber-frame’ and new ‘massive timber’ systems such as cross laminated timber (CLT) with the use of appropriate layers of fire-resistant plasterboard (i.e. fire-protected timber) and the use of NCC compliant fire sprinkler systems.

 

With mid-rise timber construction design, fire and sound are two of the major considerations: appropriate fire-resisting construction is critical to providing acceptable levels of fire safety, whilst sound or acoustic performance is essential because of its daily impact on inhabitant amenity and quality of life.
