At Whitbywood we welcome the news that the UK Government have published a new Timber In Construction Roadmap highlighting the ambition to boost the domestic timber industry and kickstart the construction sector. #engineeringimpact #engineers #optoppen #timberdesign #timberinconstruction #timberindustry #whitbywood #industrychange
TDUK was pleased to host the Timber in Construction Summit in London yesterday, where ambitious new plans to increase the use of timber in construction were announced by Environment Minister Mary Creagh CBE MP. The new Timber in Construction Roadmap is being introduced to help get Britain building using timber – creating economic growth, rural jobs and helping meet housebuilding targets in a sustainable way. The Roadmap was first published at the end of 2023. This new and improved version goes even further, highlighting the Government’s ambition to boost the domestic #timber industry and kickstart the #construction sector without compromising on quality, safety or carbon emissions. It also demonstrates how the use of timber in construction fits with the government’s own growth agenda, by encouraging the use of sustainable, low-carbon building materials and ensuring emissions are considering during the design, construction and use of buildings. Key updates place greater acknowledgement on the importance of reuse and species diversification, as well as revealing powerful actions to create a low-waste circular construction sector and drive further investment into domestic timber and wood-processing supply chains. 👀 Read more about the updated Timber in Construction Roadmap at https://lnkd.in/g8F-QFPd

There are no clear standards for emergency accommodation (more commonly called Temporary Accommodation – but often far from temporary) in the UK. Those providing and assessing emergency accommodation currently rely on the 1985 Housing Act, which counts children as ‘half-individuals’ and neglects to account for the space needed for 0-1 year olds. We desperately need defined and recognised minimum standards to support the delivery of good and safe homes for these most vulnerable people, and make the current norm of undersized, squalid and poorly designed accommodation a thing of the past. Our Zodiac development, conceived as emergency accommodation from the get-go, delivered 73 new homes for Croydon Council to house homeless families. We’re revisiting the Family Emergency Accommodation Guidance we developed in 2023 alongside Morris+Company and housing charity Commonweal Housing to add the lessons learnt from the development, including insights from the council’s Housing team, and post-occupancy reflections. We’re keen to share our insights with other Councils who are working on their temporary housing strategies - please get in touch.
