In the past, structural engineers were typically more involved with the construction and erection of their designs. And this might be preferable for the timber buildings of today. Given that the cost associated with the timber structure is closely tied to connection and erection efficiency, following the Master Builder Mindset can set timber projects up for success. In this episode we're speaking with Leif Johnson the Structural Engineer Director at Structurecraft about the benefits of leveraging the design-install model. If you want to learn more about designing or building with timber, I recommend you go to the WoodSolutions Website and download the Technical Design Guides: https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/publications I recommend watching the WoodSolutions weekly webinars.
