Bendigo’s GovHub was another with this sort of construction technique. Interestingly Fairbrother had a lot to do with that as well.
Surprised they managed to find any timber left in Tasmania that hasn’t already been pulped and sold for next to nothing.
This is great news. Fire treated timber is a cheap and excellent building material. In the United States, they make mixed use five-floor buildings out of them with large apartments.
Seems like a good potential option for increasing housing density, cheaply.
Extra speed of build is a pretty good draw card even if it is 30% more expensive, and just diversifying the range of materials available for building high rises is always good for the industry. It’ll be interesting to see where it ends up!
