WORKPACKAGE 4

The aim is for future graduates and professionals to improve their knowledge of timber and its various uses, to enhance the quality of on-site implementation and to master good practice.

With public and private contractors, the aim will be to interest them in the technical and socio-economic advantages of timber construction, and to encourage them to specify timber for large-scale projects, by dispelling preconceived ideas in this respect.

The planned activities include study trips, visits to exemplary buildings, conferences, meetings between timber construction professionals and between professionals and public and private contractors on a particular theme, as well as visits to building sites, companies and completed buildings, the design of a “sales pitch” aimed at public contracting authorities and property developers, the publication of brochures showcasing exemplary buildings, and the organisation of a trans-regional architecture prize.
