Waugh Thistleton Architects

Join us for a technical briefing exploring the future of sustainable construction through the use of mass-timber building systems.

At this webinar, we’ll hear from Waugh Thistleton Architects, who will share their latest research on the use of timber building systems for multi-storey construction and how this can become the standard building practice. The event will examine innovative tools aimed at making timber construction more accessible to developers and local authorities, supporting carbon savings and sustainability in building projects.

This technical briefing will provide insight into regulatory policies from a public sector perspective both within and outside the UK that discusses opportunities and barriers of timber-based projects, aligned with climate targets and market adoption. Can innovation in timber design and construction drive the future of sustainable building?
