Theory in Practice: The Phases of Timber Construction Using a Representative Model

Rothoblaas with Built Environment – Smarter Transformation, Intelligent Wood Systems, Mass Timber Academy and Glulam Solutions are hosting the next Theory in Practice mass timber training day in May 2025. This unique training opportunity will include practical training using cross laminated timber (CLT) and Glulam in BE-ST’s Innovation Factory, which hosts the UK’s only vacuum press for CLT manufacture.

A morning of inspiring presentations covering mass timber, timber innovation and an overview of Rothoblaas’s products for mass timber construction, shall be followed by an interactive practical group training session allowing learners to get hands-on with a range of Rothoblaas connectors and resilient profiles to assemble a representative CLT and Glulam model, comprising some common details of critical junctions.

Why participate?

The aim of the training is for learners to become familiar with the fundamental principles of mass timber construction, commonly used products and materials, and the main phases of construction of a mass timber building, avoiding the most common mistakes on site and during the design phase.

The course is designed for:

  • Carpenters who want to have a deeper knowledge of mass timber construction
  • Construction companies who want to train their workers through a practical and theoretical course
  • Construction professionals already working, or who would like to work more, with mass timber
  • Construction site and project managers
