1:30pm	New Timber Technology a Game-Changer for Construction
	This site is the 4th site commissioned by Housing New Zealand Corporation (HNZC) to be constructed using Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for the structure. This is part of an ongoing prototype development for HNZC of type of construction which they are hoping will be a major part of their future multilevel apartments solutions. The CLT is manufactured off site, then delivered, erected and completed externally and internally. There are many advantages for this type of construction which are speed of construction, its light weight, structurally robust, fire rating properties uses sustainable materials, ability to premanufacture other key components, and cost with significant savings in foundations. The time savings compared to a traditional concrete structure is in excessive of 3 months The design is the result of a collaborative approach between the client, design team, builder and supplier The Project is midway through construction, so you will see the CLT structure currently being closed in.
