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 the most effective manner. In this episode we talk with Rob Nestic about using Timber Concrete Composite Systems.including:
The performance aspects of the TCC system
Prefabrication and the nuances around pouring concrete offsite or onsite
The supply capacity of Australia for these systems
