18th June 2019 – Tall Timber Sustainable Construction post Hackitt.
Building with timber systems has never been more topical in the UK: as a solution for sustainable construction; as a way of 
revolutionising programme velocity, building accuracy and on-site labour requirements; and as a way of creating healthy buildings to live in. But the new building regulations pose specific challenges for timber structures in residential buildings over 18m high.
Structural engineers are at the heart of providing solutions to allow architects to create the sustainable buildings our cities need.
This industry workshop brings leading experts from the UK and Sweden together to share their knowledge, experience and vision for the future,

25th June 2019 – Timber: designing for the future.
This afternoon event will explain the Government’s new ‘Building (Amendment) Regulations 2018’ and what it means for structural timber buildings.
In December 2018, the Government changed the Building Regulations to prohibit the use of combustible materials in the external walls of residential buildings over 18m. Whilst designers and manufacturers are developing innovative products and systems that meet the new regulations, the wider industry is still unsure of what the implications of the legislation are, especially with the use of structural timber.
With insightful and informative talks from leading architects, engineers and contractors, the event will investigate how other countries design and build in timber; identify new innovative external wall solutions that meet the regulations; discuss designing timber buildings for fire and durability, and explore what is next for timber.
After presentations and a panel discussion the event will close at 5.30pm with networking and a drinks reception.
The event is free to attend, but please register to book your place.
Time: 14:00 – 17:30
