This document discusses the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in construction. It lists various stakeholders involved in CLT projects, from quantity surveyors and valuers to builders and financiers. It also touches on sustainability topics like renewable resources, carbon reduction, and the United Nations' Principles for Responsible Investment. The document acknowledges that while CLT construction currently has some cost and scheduling challenges compared to traditional methods, it provides benefits like lighter weight, shorter construction periods, and reduced development risk.

6. CLT use is usually post and beam construction for
commercial buildings
residential buildings use CLT structural walls and floors
mostly load bearing
CLT light weight construction provides different
outcomes from traditional
CLT is only part of the tool box to solve space and
design issues in construction
CLT to expose is easy in commercial
CLT is difficult to expose in multi residential construction
covering CLT to provide the fire rating ?
CLT is different
but the same

7. C O S T & F I N A N C E
There is pain - this will change over time
Costs more than traditional construction , but
delivers greater overall value
Wide variation with QS Cost Planning
Finance Risk with out Fixed Price Lump Sum
building contracts
Early Contractor Involvement only model that
works with Structural Timber
No traditional tender for procurement of building
services
Longer planning timelines for the project
Shorter construction period
Reduced development risk
Fire safety in residential different to commercial
