SLIDE 6 Exciting times for the timber industry
- Wider scopes within the NCC
- Development of engineering tools to support projects
- Greater awareness of the ‘Green credentials’
- Desire to consider Engineered Timber products
Exciting Times!
SLIDE 7
The National Construction Code (NCC) is the regulatory framework for determining the minimum design and construction requirements for buildings in Australia. NCC Volume One Building Code of Australia 2019 for Class 2 to Class 9 Buildings is the document relevant to mid-rise timber buildings Previously restricted to Class 2,3 & 5
NCC Code Change 2019
SLIDE 8
New Timber Construction Provisions
The 2019 NCC, has been amended to permit, under the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) provisions, the use of fire- protected timber construction systems in all classes of buildings up to 25 metres in effective height (herein termed ‘mid-rise construction’).
SLIDE 9
NCC 2019 changes for Timber Construction
SLIDE 10 Fire Protected Timber Lightweight Timber
General Timber (High level of protection to timber)
- Fire-grade plasterboard linings
required (typical solution):
plasterboard for walls, and
plasterboard for ceilings
- FRL lightweight timber-framed
construction e.g. 90, 120, 140 x 45mm
SLIDE 11 Fire Protected Timber Massive Timber
Massive Timber (Lower level of protection to timber)
- Fire protective covering required:
- Element with appropriate layers
- f fire protective covering,
generally 1 layer of 16mm fire- grade plasterboard for walls and ceilings
Fire -grade plasterboard Massive timber
- Minimum 75mm thickness of massive timber
element, with required FRL, with no concealed spaces between plasterboard coverings and timber e.g. CLT, Glulam, LVL
SLIDE 12 Mixed Class Buildings Hybrid Construction
Fire-protected timber solutions apply to all classes of buildings that include sprinkler protection. Mixed Class Buildings - concrete structure on lower levels provides termite barrier and resistance to moisture penetration. Lightweight additions to existing buildings.
SLIDE 13 Structural Design Guide & Software
ACRO-TIM Automated Calculation ROutines of mid-rise TIMber structures under combined wind and quake actions (VNA440-1718)
FREE ASSISTANCE TO ENGINEERS FOR MID-RISE PROJECTS Video tutorial Midrise Structural Engineers Design Guide – In development
SLIDE 14 We want to use timber….. What species to use? What Engineered Product to use?
- Multiple Options available
- Learn from existing projects
- Learn from experienced
professionals
- Utilise WoodSolutions website

SLIDE 15 How do we benefit from the learning of those in the industry?
today have gained years
learning in the industry
Shared Learning
SLIDE 16 Affects all our senses
- Texture
- Colour
- Depth
- Life
- Promotes Wellness & Productivity
- Pollinate Study – (Link below)
Handling – lightweight Strength - (weight to strength ratio) We have a sense of pride when it comes to timber projects
Allure of wood
