Exciting Times! Exciting times for the timber industry Wider scopes within the NCC • Development of engineering tools to support projects • Greater awareness of the ‘Green credentials’ • Desire to consider Engineered Timber products •

NCC Code Change 2019 The National Construction Code (NCC) is the regulatory framework for determining the minimum design and construction requirements for buildings in Australia. NCC Volume One Building Code of Australia 2019 for Class 2 to Class 9 Buildings is the document relevant to mid-rise timber buildings Previously restricted to Class 2,3 & 5

New Timber Construction Provisions The 2019 NCC, has been amended to permit, under the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions, the use of fire- protected timber construction systems in all classes of buildings up to 25 metres in effective height (herein termed ‘ mid-rise construction ’).

NCC 2019 changes for Timber Construction

Fire Protected Timber Lightweight Timber General Timber (High level of protection to timber) • FRL lightweight timber-framed construction e.g. 90, 120, 140 x 45mm • Fire-grade plasterboard linings required (typical solution): • 2 x 13mm fire-grade plasterboard for walls, and • 2 x 16mm fire-grade plasterboard for ceilings

Fire Protected Timber Massive Timber Massive Timber (Lower level of protection to timber) • Minimum 75mm thickness of massive timber element, with required FRL, with no concealed spaces between plasterboard coverings and timber e.g. CLT, Glulam, LVL • Fire protective covering required: Fire -grade plasterboard Element with appropriate layers • of fire protective covering, Massive timber generally 1 layer of 16mm fire- grade plasterboard for walls and ceilings

Mixed Class Buildings Hybrid Construction Fire-protected timber solutions apply to all classes of buildings that include sprinkler protection . Mixed Class Buildings - concrete structure on lower levels provides termite barrier and resistance to moisture penetration. Lightweight additions to existing buildings.

Specifying Timber in Projects We want to use timber….. What species to use? What Engineered Product to use? Multiple Options available • Learn from existing projects • Learn from experienced • professionals Utilise WoodSolutions website •

Shared Learning How do we benefit from the learning of those in the industry? - Our speakers / projects today have gained years of experience and learning in the industry

Allure of wood Affects all our senses Texture • Colour • Depth • Life • Promotes Wellness & Productivity • Pollinate Study – (Link below) • Handling – lightweight Strength - (weight to strength ratio) We have a sense of pride when it comes to timber projects https://www.woodsolutions.c om.au/wood-at-work
