Building Information Technologies are changing the way we design and build, unlocking efficiencies in schematic design, delivery and building operations. As we transition to the new way of building ut...

When occupying a building, humans are constantly releasing moisture into the air. Moisture, needs to find a way to successfully leave the home and avoid condensation on structures. In this episode we ...

Timber structures are best designed as systems, taking into account structure, acoustics, thermal and fire. A hybrid system can leverage the advantages of different materials to solve the problem in t...

The construction sector desperately needs to modernise due to rising costs and stagnating productivity. Through deep collaboration and technologies of the 4th industrial age, a new exploration is unde...

1430 Q, in Sacramento is a 6 storey light-frame building on top of 2 storeys of concrete. Although tall, 4 – 6 storey stick frame buildings aren’t yet common in Australia, they’re somewhat the n...

Upfront carbon is increasingly in the spotlight, as operational efficiency increases. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are vital in measuring the impacts of the materials we use to arrive at ...

Extensive acoustic research programs, in the laboratory and on site, have shown that wood-based construction systems are able to meet or exceed the sound insulation performance requirements, when expe...

New tools for design are potentially allowing us to enter an unprecedented period in construction. Parametric design tools allow for new architectural forms, robotics and 3D printing allows for new as...

The Seedhouse is the winner of the 2019 Australian Timber Design Awards, and home to James Fitzpatrick, architect from Fitzpatrick and Partners. This residential home utilises the latest technologies ...

Together, building and construction are responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world. Australia has signed to the Paris Agreement, committing to keep global warming to 1.5C – 2 C. It is ...
