The project 752 High Street Thornburry is a 5 Storey CLT project set to start construction in October 2019. The architect and the client pursued CLT in order for it's sustainability attributes. We're lucky to sit down with the architect, Paul Gardiner from Gardiner Architects, Nathan Benbow the engineer from Vistek and the builders Alastair Holmes and Chris Wood from Sinjen. This project has multiple challenges in design and construction that has required innovative solutions from the project team.
Part 1 of the interview we discuss the:
the influence of early contractor involvement the relationship between the timber specialist engineer, the project engineer and the supplier engineers, and the use of building information modelling for the project.
Hope you enjoyed this episode. Stay tuned for next weeks episode where we talk about construction, durability and lessons learned.
