Engineered timber in multi-storey construction: an industry perspective

Abstract

This research investigates the perspectives of building and design professionals regarding the use of Engineered Wood Products (EWS) in multi-storey construction. The primary objective is to provide a baseline assessment, from an industry perspective, of the environmental, social and economic factors that affect the widescale adoption of EWS in Australia. Results are drawn from selected questions of a survey conducted in early 2019 that was designed to provide an understanding of the perceptions of a broad group of industry professionals, regardless of their level of knowledge of, or experience working with, EWS.
