Developed in consultation with designers and clients Procuring engineered timber buildings highlights the important questions developers and other clients need to consider when reviewing the merits of engineered timber solutions for the structure of their building. This publication is the ideal resource to support the procurement process and promote informed discussion with key questions and concise answers for clients procuring engineered timber building solutions.

Timber design pioneers explores how collaboration can drive innovation in design and construction, featuring 15 very different and remarkable projects grouped into five Collaborating on a complex briefDelivering high-specification interiorsDesigning for well-beingTackling the sustainability challengeDriving innovation with process solutions. Expanded to include New Islington, a series of environmentally efficient and contemporary family houses built using a volumetric modular method of construction. Taking a direct look at how collaboration can be found in a variety of projects and highlighting its importance, this publication celebrates the project teams ability to learn from each other and recognise the expertise of individuals helping to resolve some of the toughest technical problems.

At-a-glance reference guide to structural timber options for use during the early stages of design. Includes comparisons of sawn timber, glulam, I-joists, unilam, CLT, LVL and flitch beams to aid product selection. Highly illustrated with drawings, graphs and sizing tables, enabling designers to make the most efficient choices. In the early stages of a new project designers must find answers to many questions. What should the structure be made from? Where should columns or walls be located? Is it a framed building or does it have loadbearing walls? How thick do walls and floors need to be? Structural timber elements combines design data with the invaluable experience of timber designers. Particularly useful for engineers who have designed buildings out of steel and concrete, but have limited experience with timber, it will also benefit architects, students and lecturers who need comparative information on structural timber options. The second edition of this book contains additional coverage of robustness, moisture movement, typical moment connection capacities, long span beams, as well as several new drawings, graphs and sizing tables
