Frame Australia, the major national event for engineered timber and building pre-fabrication now in its 16th year will hold the next conference and exhibition on Monday and Tuesday May 19 & 20, 2014 at the prestigious Park Hyatt Melbourne.

Frame is the only event in Australia for the complete supply chain of structural timber, engineered wood products and pre-fabricated frames, providing a unique forum on markets, products and systems for timber and wood used in the detached housing and multi-residential markets.

The 2014 event will bring together delegates in design and construction of residential and commercial buildings to interact with delegates from timber, engineered wood, pre-fabrication to facilitate networking and direct personal communication.

The conference title is “Prefab Timber and Engineered Wood in Building Construction” with presentations covering a wide range of topics including:

• pre-fabricated timber frames and panelisation in residential building,
• engineered wood and panel systems in multi-residential construction,
• building digital data and software program developments, and
• pre-fabrication plant manufacturing systems.

The new format program comprises four half-day topic sessions over the two days, and for the first time delegates have flexible registration for one or more sessions to save time and reduce cost.

The sponsor’s exhibition and display within the conference area is a major highlight where delegates can seek out new and emerging technologies in timber, wood products, software and construction systems, along with sponsor products and services for the pre-fabrication, timber and building industries.

This exceptional event will convey the very latest information at a global and local level to provide valuable knowledge on timber and engineered wood as sustainable and cost-effective construction systems for residential and commercial building.
