Join us at Futurebuild 2023 at London ExCeL, stand N72, to chat about sustainability, design, net zero and more!
If there is one message that is coming loud and clear from the global climate emergency, it is that we cannot go on as we are. The industry has to make changes. We must radically change how we plan, design, construct and operate our buildings and places.
Futurebuild’s exhibition brings together the entire supply chain to showcase, debate and understand the advancements in sustainable construction and the emerging technologies that will make net zero possible.
We are proud at Timber Development UK to be taking a stand! Come say hello to our friendly team. Register here for Futurebuild.
