SUMMARY:Timber in Construction 101: Material Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Master the material. Develop a foundational understanding of timber products and their unique properties to ensure the right material is selected for every application\n\nAbout this event\nExplore the science of timber performance, and gain the clarity you need to select timber systems and products with confidence. Develop your material intelligence to better assess durability, moisture behavior, and mechanical strength, and evaluate the data that ensures long-term building health and performance.\nIn this free online session on 03 June 2026, we will be joined by an industry expert, together with one of the lead educators from the Timber in Construction Project Team, talking to what best practice actually looks like in the UK when selecting and applying timber materials.\nThis session will introduce the key intervention developed by leading built environment experts to help build confidence in the use of timber. It is designed to be introductory, accessible to beginners and professionals, supporting the growth of the use of timber in construction, and fostering a community of practitioners.\n\n📅 Date: 3 June 2026\n⏰ Time: 13:00 – 14:00 (Online)\n💰 Cost: Free\n\nSpeakers\nRob MacKenna, General Manager, James Jones & Sons\nHaving worked in the timber processing industry for 26 years, Rob is General Manager for James Jones and Sons Ltd., where he is responsible for their timber processing operations in South Scotland, and a champion of the Trust UK C16 timber campaign.
