Greetings from your WoodWorks team. This year’s WoodWorks 2026 will focus on the practical challenges of delivering mass-timber projects in Australasia, including procurement, cost certainty, constructability, prefabrication, fire engineering, adaptive reuse and digital modelling. Sign-up now for the Hastings event on 28-29 October 2026.

Townhouses are rapidly closing the gap with standalone homes in New Zealand, with engineered timber innovations from Prolam and Potius enabling more structurally capable, spacious, cost-effective and efficient multi-unit construction.

Interesting approach to social housing with waste wood exterior cladding; how does that work for meeting building codes? You might need Google Translate to read about this project in Centrumeiland, east of Amsterdam.
