Building with Wood CPD

This CPD feature has been produced by Wood Campus in co-operation with the Timber Trade Federation (TTF) and the Structural Timber Association (STA), and accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It covers the important issues you need to be familiar with if you are designing and building with timber, including sustainability, timber frame, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), other engineered materials, sheet materials, roofing, joists and flooring.

A new FREE online guide, the CLT Handbook is to help structural engineers and architects design structures using cross-laminated timber. Download PDF.
