New market opportunities for the F & T sector New market opportunities for the F&T sector with the changes in the NCC 2019 to permit the use for fire- protected timber building elements in all classes of buildings. Opportunities for lightweight timber building systems (pre-fabricated timber wall framing, timber floor cassettes) in the low- and mid-rise markets (2 to 6 storey buildings) – particularly for vertical schools and aged care buildings.
