Key Activities
The Mass Timber Insurance Playbook enables a collaborative approach between construction teams and insurers, opening the door to more equitable insurance for mass timber buildings. It provides a framework for eliciting, understanding and resolving the risk challenges that are currently hindering insurance provision for mass timber buildings.
IMPACTT
IMPACTT (Innovative Mapping and Processes to Advance Construction Timber Transparency) bridges the gap between construction and forestry by tracing timber frame buildings back to their forests of origin. This is visualised through interactive supply chain maps, and report on the carbon and biodiversity impacts of sourcing timber. IMPACTT identifies and addresses common misconceptions and knowledge gaps on sustainable forestry, sourcing timber, and timber building.
Ongoing Projects
International project to develop practical guidance on managing water and moisture risk throughout the lifecycle of mass timber buildings.
Developing a clear, science-based guide for assessing and repairing mass timber structures following damage.
This project explores how fire suppression systems can act as a key enabler of Net Zero construction.
Resources
Research highlighting how the performance of fixings securing M&E services to timber ceilings can change during fire conditions.
Emabling a collaborative approach between construction teams and insurers, opening the door to more equitable insurance for mass timber buildings.
Integrating biodiversity and forest data with the PEFC Certification system to enhance transparency in construction timber sourcing.
Recommending a series of potential solutions that could unlock significant carbon savings through an increase in the use of mass timber.
