Course 4 - Building Site Management and Building Process with Timber

Mapping the timber construction process involves outlining the step-by-step journey from project conception to the completed timber-based building. It starts with conceptualizing the design, considering architectural vision, and choosing timber as the primary building material. Structural analysis and engineering are then conducted to determine load requirements and select the appropriate timber structural system. Detailed design plans and 3D BIM models are created to specify dimensions, materials, and connections. Timber procurement involves sourcing the required timber materials, considering factors like species and sustainability. Onsite construction commences with the assembly of timber components, followed by finishing and installation of interior elements. Throughout the process, quality control measures are implemented, and building authorities may conduct tests and inspections for compliance. Once complete, the timber structure is handed over for occupancy, and maintenance practices ensure its longevity and sustainability.
