New strategic partnership to set timber skills agenda

Timber Development UK (TDUK) has signed a strategic partnership with Edinburgh Napier University and the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) to improve knowledge and skills in timber design and construction. The partnership will see Edinburgh Napier University produce a written library of technical documents which will be made free to all TDUK members.

It is widely recognised that there is a ‘knowledge gap’ for specification of timber products among trainee architects, engineers and related studies. To close this gap, TDUK and Edinburgh Napier University are working together to create a knowledge library consisting, from launch, of 150 reports authored by leading wood science and timber specialists. The library will cover information about timber supply, design considerations and building techniques with the goal of providing architects, specifiers and engineers with all the information they need to put timber at the heart of projects.

This will be a rolling contract which will see the library expand and develop each year with the aim to create the largest, most comprehensive technical timber information resource in the UK – if not the world. In addition, the Knowledge Database will be used to underpin and inform a set of short practical courses being developed by NMITE’s Centre for Advanced Timber Technology (CATT) in partnership with TDUK.

The ‘Timber TED’ (Technical Engineering & Design) courses will create comprehensive and flexible upskilling and reskilling training for modern methods of timber construction. Learners will gain specialist timber construction knowledge and skills for the built environment, focusing on “better, faster and greener” delivery. TDUK chief executive, Dave Hopkins explained: “With ESG pressures mounting in boardrooms, it is clear that increasing the use of timber in architecture and construction can provide a very positive contribution towards achieving our net zero goals. It is also my belief that the specifiers of the future will need a better understanding of timber if they have any chance of hitting the ever more demanding carbon targets for construction. Our partnerships with Napier and NMITE will help set the timber skills agenda going forward and will provide the underpinning specification knowledge needed to achieve this.” NMITE chief academic officer, Professor Beverley Gibbs added: “NMITE champions student-centred learning and a curriculum fuelled by real-world challenges, and our approach is distinctive in higher education and attracts a wide range of learners. Consistent with NMITE’s core principles, these courses have been conceived and will be delivered in partnership with external stakeholders. Partnering with TDUK and Edinburgh Napier will create the enabling conditions to stimulate collaboration across the industry vertically (seed to end product) and horizontally (architecture, construction, digitalisation) whilst showing an upcoming generation of professionals how rewarding a career in timber can be.” The first phase of the Knowledge library is due to go live in the autumn of 2022. The TED short courses – aimed at engineers, architects and technical design and sales operatives within timber manufacturing firms – will start in September 2022. Commenting on the Knowledge Library, Kirsty Connell-Skinner, sustainable construction partnerships manager at Edinburgh Napier University said: “This partnership demonstrates Edinburgh Napier’s commitment to timber engineering education. With increasing momentum to tackle the climate crisis, ensuring our future workforce is skilled in the benefits of using timber solutions is vital. This knowledge library further enhances earlier investment by HCI Skills Gateway in a national timber competency framework and will give students access to information about supply, design and techniques to encourage more use of timber in construction projects.”

Roofing and cladding contractors under pressure

The latest quarterly State of the Roofing Industry survey from National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and Glenigan has revealed 71% of roofing and cladding contractors feel that the survival of their business is being threatened by price inflation and soaring costs. This comes as businesses are forced to spend more on materials, labour and energy, and clients are tightening their purse strings. NFRC is therefore calling on government to work with industry to ease the burden.

The survey indicated that contractors are therefore raising the price of their work—81% had put their prices up since the same time last year. This follows reports from firms that they can only offer fixed prices to clients for a short period of time, as if they wait too long to get started, the roofer’s costs will already have risen significantly.

Construction businesses have been major victims of inflation: the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) have reported that construction product prices in May 2022 were on average 27.2% higher than in May 2021. A range of factors have contributed: manufacturers have suffered, with raw material costs up, and the energy they use to make their products is now much more expensive. HGV driver shortages, and an increase in the cost of international shipping, have added to the cost of getting materials delivered.

The cost of labour is also on the up. More than two thirds (68%) of firms said they were spending more on their workforce than a year ago. Many firms can no longer absorb these costs, and contractors risk making a loss if they don’t put prices up. 69% had raised the price of their work just in the last quarter (between the beginning of April and the end of June 2022).

NFRC is advising clients and businesses alike to have an open conversation about prices and these challenges. A roofing contractor may not be able to give you the same price as a month ago, because supply chain costs have swallowed up the original profit. The trade body is urging government to offer support to businesses on energy costs. James Talman, NFRC CEO, said: “Whilst workloads grew in Q2, we may see this begin to level out in the second half of 2022, as client purse strings tighten. Businesses are facing inflationary pressures that force them to raise costs, and roofing and cladding firms are dealing with rising material prices, skills shortages, and expensive fuel, in an industry where cashflow is already a notorious problem for many businesses. All this comes before the impact of the major uplift of gas prices in the autumn. The construction industry showed real collaboration during the pandemic—the industry needs to continue to display that in overcoming this challenge, especially for those who can least afford it.’

Winners of #TDchallenge22 announced

The winners of the Hereford Southside University Design Challenge (#TDchallenge22) have been announced following an incredibly competitive nine-month process. The University Design Challenge is a student competition based on a live project to design a net zero community centre, showcasing timber construction and meeting the Passivhaus standard. Across more than 150 students from 57 universities, the winning team were selected at a live two-day event at the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE). Students presented their designs to a panel of expert judges representing both local clients and leading figures in UK sustainable construction.

The winning team brought together an interdisciplinary group of students from universities the length and breadth of the UK – from Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen to the University of Portsmouth – to produce a design the judging panel declared: “A strong response and a great integration of uses, with simple elements including a good use of structural timber used effectively and meeting the Passivhaus standard”.

Built environment students and 2021 graduates from UK universities were invited to take part in the challenge to design Southside Hereford, a detached single-storey building to accommodate three diverse partners with net zero aspirations. Providing a vibrant, inspiring, and inclusive sports, food, and skills community focal point for the people of South Wye. Southside is a collaboration between two highly energised established community organisations Growing Local CIC and Belmont Wanderers CIC, and NMITE, all of whom share a common goal to improve the future health, wellbeing, life chances and employment skillset of the people of South Wye and Hereford.

Student teams had to produce designs that sites the community centre within the local context and landscape, integrating the clients’ and community’s interests. Through a series of webinars based on the Housing, Construction & Infrastructure Skills Gateway’s Timber TED competency framework, soon to be launched as a short course at NMITE, the students all gained knowledge and skills direct from timber construction experts. Each of the detailed designs for Southside is ‘net zero’, creatively employing energy and resource efficient building materials and construction methods, focusing on the health and wellbeing of people, the community, and the planet. The designs were judged for longevity, desirability, adaptability, circularity, and a warming climate, as well as producing more energy from renewable sources than required. With the main material focus and specification for Southside to be timber and timber hybrid systems, each team’s detailed design was to meet the Passivhaus Standard and exceed both the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets and the LETI Climate Emergency Design Guide metrics.

Congratulations to the winners Alice Senior (University of Portsmouth), Malwina Bartoszewicz (Edinburgh Napier University), Johanna Schwarting (Swansea University), Kyle Henderson (Robert Gordon University), Daniela Lopez (University of Gloucestershire), Ali Uddin (University of Edinburgh), and Deepak Sadhwani (Cardiff University). David Hopkins, Chief Executive of Timber Development UK said: “We need a highly trained construction workforce with a better understanding of wood and timber to achieve net zero and hit the ever more demanding carbon targets for construction. Fortunately, it is evident from each and every student who has taken part in the Timber Development UK University Design Challenge that there is incredible built environment talent emerging from UK universities.

“Thanks to Timber Development UK’s partnerships with Passivhaus Trust, Edinburgh Napier and NMITE and our efforts to set the timber skills agenda going forward, we can build better, faster, and cleaner with timber. A huge congratulations to all our winners and to all the participants – I know the skills and knowledge you have gained and demonstrated in low-carbon construction will be greatly in demand. We all look forward to seeing what you do next.”

ROCKWOOL® launches new insulation option for external walls

ROCKWOOL has launched NyRock® Rainscreen 032 and Frame Slab 032, the first in a series of products that use NyRock technology, a patented production process that delivers the lowest lambda stone wool insulation available in the UK. NyRock Rainscreen 032 is specifically developed for ventilated cladding systems and sealed structures such as curtain walling. It combines a low thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/mK and a noncombustible Euroclass A1 rating along with independently tested acoustic performance and the potential for thinner wall constructions.

Manufactured using patented technology, NyRock Rainscreen 032 has a more efficient fibre structure than traditional stone wool products, resulting in improved thermal properties. For optimum thermal performance in framed structures, NyRock Rainscreen Slab 032 should be combined with NyRock Frame Slab 032, a further new addition to the NyRock range, that is purpose designed for fitting between the studwork of external timber or light gauge steel frame walls. Paul Barrett, head of product management at ROCKWOOL explains: “When working to a U-value of 0.18 W/m2K, specifiers can typically save around 15mm on the wall thickness compared to traditional stone wool products. Applying that saving over a 22m x 22m building of nine storeys, for example, it can yield an extra 99 square feet of usable or profitable floor space. The balance between building performance, sustainability and commerciality is a constant challenge for specifiers and building owners. Our NyRock range has been created understanding those pressures, hence deliver lower lambda for thinner walls, while also providing the additional benefits of stone wool including non-combustibility.”

As well as suited to ventilated façade systems, NyRock Frame Slab 032 can be used in a variety of external timber or steel frame applications, including with a brick outer and with or without a service void. NyRock Frame Slab 032 is available in 570mm widths for timber or 600mm for steel ensuring quick, easy friction fitting into frame walls. Its strong dimensional stability when fitted under compression also accommodates building movement, without slumping and sagging, or a loss in thermal performance.

Design District benefits from new timber building

On Greenwich Peninsula, Design District’s evolution continues with the opening of Mole Architects’ second building, a striking and sustainable 580m2 rhomboid structure that seems to change colour as you move around it. Designated D2, the new building’s five workspaces are all now occupied, home to a brilliantly eclectic collection of creative businesses, spanning fashion, photography, cycling accessories and more – a reflection of the extraordinary disciplinary variety of Design District as a whole. Following the official launch in September 2021, Design District is now well on the way to fulfilling its aim to serve as London’s permanent home for the creative industries, and to support around 1,800 of the capital’s creative-sector workers, at every stage in their careers. Comprising 16 buildings by eight pioneering architects, the district provides affordable spaces, comprehensive facilities and flexible leases. With D2, Mole Architects has taken the principles of sustainable timber architecture and created a head-turning statement building. Housing five workspaces over three storeys, D2 may be the smallest building of the 16 in the Design District masterplan but, with its iridescent metal exterior, it is impossible to overlook.

D2 is built from one of Mole Architects’ signature materials – cross laminated timber (CLT). As well as being practical and robust, CLT buildings demand approximately half the energy of concrete structures to build, and act as carbon stores, locking CO2 into the fabric of the building. The structural timbers are left exposed on interior walls and stairs, which not only gives the space character, it also eliminates the need for additional finishing materials and enables a quicker build programme. The use of timber also has a wellbeing advantage for the building’s users – there is an inherent comfort to be found in natural materials such as wood, that improves quality of life for the building’s occupants, and contributes to the building being an inspiring place to work – as does the colourful play of light created by specially glazed fins by the windows that reflect light in different wavelengths.

“Making timber buildings is a gift to those that live or work in them,” says Meredith Bowles, from Mole Architects. “It seems that humans have a natural affinity with timber and the warmth that it conveys. We’ve left quite a lot of timber exposed, as well as each space having fantastic large openings to the best views. The reflected light from the dichroic fins into the interiors was actually an unintended surprise, but we love it.’’

Donaldson Timber Systems achieves BOPAS Plus

Donaldson Timber Systems (DTS) has become one of the first manufacturers to achieve Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme Plus (BOPAS plus), a durability assessment for advanced, offsite build systems.

Building on the original BOPAS scheme, BOPAS plus has been developed to introduce a greater focus on the preparedness of the offsite sector to drive digitisation and collaboration in the construction industry. Donaldson Timber Systems is one of only three businesses in the UK to hold the new accreditation. The DTS Sigma® II system, was one of the first offsite build systems originally to be accredited by BOPAS in 2013.

BOPAS is the industry benchmark to demonstrate quality and durability to funders, lenders, valuers and purchasers, giving them the confidence that homes built using offsite construction will have a life of at least 60 years. The accreditation process involves a rigorous assessment, including a two-stage review; a detailed interview with Lloyds Register and a full day audit, where the business is required to provide tangible evidence on the plans in place to deliver on its five-year plan.

Rod Allan, managing director, Donaldson Timber Systems said: “BOPAS plus is a fantastic achievement for the business, and will help to ensure that we have a clear differentiator when promoting our Sigma® II build system to the market.

“An increased use of our Sigma® II system will reduce the energy required by customers to run their homes, as well as very low embodied carbon from the construction of the home. BOPAS plus will help to provide our clients and the industry with the confidence that our system has been thoroughly assessed and is highly durable.”

BOPAS is recognised by the principal mortgage lenders as providing the necessary assurance underpinned by a warranty provision, that the property will be readily mortgageable for at least 60 years.

Timber sector continues trade body consolidation

A new Affiliation Agreement between Timber Development UK (TDUK) and the Wood Protection Association (WPA) has set the template for further consolidation of the timber industry, helping to drive the mass adoption of timber as a sustainable construction solution.

TDUK has been formed from a merger between the Timber Trade Federation (TFF) and The Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA), creating the largest, most comprehensive supply chain body in the UK. TDUK now spans more than 1500 member businesses representing everything from sawmill to specifier. The WPA is the UK authority on wood protection and plays a lead role in influencing, developing and promoting technologies that enhance the performance and value of wood as a building material. Under the Affiliation Agreement, TDUK and WPA will continue to operate as independent membership organisations, but WPA will act as the TDUK’s centre of expertise on flame-retardant treatments, wood modification and preservation – providing the essential technical, quality assurance and support services under a united strategy to grow demand for added value treated timber products that can be trusted. The TDUK Affiliation Agreement with WPA is part of a bigger mission to align all wood and timber technical specification information under one roof. In so doing, TDUK aims to empower architects, designers, specifiers and engineers with the knowledge and confidence they need to use wood in their projects. TDUK CEO, Dave Hopkins commented: “This affiliation agreement formalises what is already a very good working relationship. WPA provides TDUK with the opportunity to access unrivalled specialist experience, information, data, technical expertise and team resources from another vital part of the timber supply chain. It is another clear example of TDUK’s mission to create the most comprehensive supply chain body in the UK, so we can act as an agent of change toward more sustainable, low-carbon forms of construction. WPA and TDUK’s missions are already closely aligned. So, it makes perfect sense to work together to achieve greater impact as timber takes centre stage for the race to net-zero construction.” WPA chief executive Gordon Ewbank added: “Wood treatments are an integral part of the timber supply chain, so it makes good commercial and technical sense for WPA and TDUK to share our respective capabilities and speak with one voice on treatment related matters. Our agreement to become a TDUK affiliated trade association is a further step in what has been a growing and fruitful partnership in recent years, providing mutual benefits to both associations, our customers and, most importantly, our members.” TDUK will be officially launched later in the year and will have a strong presence at UK Construction Week at the Birmingham NEC in October.

New network for women in woodworking

An online network has been launched to allow women working in the woodworking trades – carpentry, joinery, cabinet making – to connect and support each other. The network is called Women in Woodwork and it has been established by the Women and Manual Trades (WaMT) programme, which is part of not-for-profit company Procure Plus, in partnership with the Institute of Carpenters. Women who are working or training in woodworking trades are eligible to join the network, which takes the form of a private Facebook Group. The organisations involved in setting up Women in Woodwork recognise that women are hugely under-represented in these trades, and indeed all the building trades, and believe that a dedicated forum for women to ‘meet’ will alleviate the isolation that women can experience, and which can prevent women from having a sustainable career. Women in Woodwork follows the success of the Open Circuit Group for women in electrics, which was also set up by the WaMT programme in 2018 and has connected over 300 female members who use the network to discuss topics such as workwear, technical problems and tips, and to share work opportunities.

Fiona Sharp, social value director at Procure Plus which runs the Women and Manual Trades programme, says: “The Women in Woodworking Group has been set up to allow women working in these trades to be connected and to come together. Peer support is so important to women, especially those who are training or just starting out, and can have a huge impact on whether or not they decide to continue on their career path. Better retention of women in construction and the building trades is something we want to address. We invite carpentry, joinery and other woodworking contractors to promote the network to their female employees.”

Women are invited to join Women in Woodwork at  www.facebook.com/groups/womeninwoodwork

Countryside Timber Frame facility for sale

Established four years ago, Countryside Timber Frame Limited (CTFL) is a group company of Countryside Partnership, the UKs leading mixedtenure developer. One of the earliest adopters of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), the company have invested heavily in research and development, and commitment to sustainable construction. This led to the development of three modular panel factories. After a recent strategic review CTFL have taken the decision to close their manufacturing facility in Bardon, Leicestershire. The 384,000 square foot facility houses a state-of-the-art timber frame manufacturing line that was designed and installed in a bespoke package offering streamlined and efficient production capabilities. Additionally, the site benefits from new ‘floor line’ along with modern and high-quality site support assets. Chartered Surveyors, Walker Singleton, have been appointed to market and sell assets of the business.

Stephen Jones, director in the Machinery & Business Assets Department said: “The production assets of the business are state-ofthe-art, with only one other comparable line in operation within Europe. The line has been designed to produce an advanced closed panel product supporting the move to MMC. It is an exciting opportunity for any company wishing to place themselves at the forefront of the timber frame construction industry. The equipment is geared to a volume output and has the capacity to produce 3,000 units per annum. High regard has been placed on maintenance and upkeep of all equipment with all assets being of industry recognised manufacture.”

Interest is invited for the whole manufacturing line to be removed from site. Should a suitable party not be found the line will be included in a planned online auction of the wider assets of the facility.
