The Brock Commons building is an 18 Storey Post and Plate system built in the University of British Columbia Canada. The project was a major leap in timber construction productivity, achieving a floor cycle time of 3 days. Today we are speaking with Karla Fraser, the Project Manager for the project. In this episode we discuss:
Utilisation of mockups in construction
How virtual modelling can assist in building productivity
Designing and building a post and plate system
Building professionals globally are turning to timber as it provides a healthier, environmentally friendly, sustainable, efficiently off-site prefabricated solution that dramatically reduces construction times and accordingly the overall cost of the project.
