Welcome to WoodWorks
Greetings from the WoodWorks team. We invite you to join us in Auckland this Friday, 22 May for a networking lunch, a debate on material choices for multi-residential buildings and two unique site visits. We have a few places left; so click here to read more and register.
Mass timber is increasingly being chosen for warehousing solutions. Here’s another great example from the Hawkes Bay.
The mass timber building in Blacktown, NSW, featuring XLam CLT, Belmadar management, and Evergreen Projects installation, is the new North Wing of the Hardi Aged Care Facility. It serves as a modern, sustainable healthcare facility featuring three storeys of cross-laminated timber (CLT).
With Europe experiencing rising demand for affordable housing, while the construction sector faces longer timelines, labour shortages and growing carbon requirements, the Metsa Wood team think modular timber construction offers a promising pathway.

And one to end the issue on... A walk through the treetops
Instead of a joke this week we invite you to explore wooden wonders that take you through the treetops.
The series “Discovering Treetop Walkways in Europe,” published by Candra Burns from Talking Forests, offers a front-row seat to how timber is transforming eco-tourism and public engagement across Europe.
The series highlights several iconic aerial pathways, from the spiraling towers of Germany to the sweeping vistas of the Czech Republic, and celebrates the simple joy of a forest stroll.
