Not just talking timber but walking it

Timber Delivered brings real-world timber projects to the forefront. In this practical, project-led seminar, project and consulting teams share firsthand insights from recently completed builds that successfully incorporated timber.

Speakers will reflect on what worked, the design and delivery decisions that made a difference, and the key takeaways they take with them to their next projects.

Attendees will gain practical tips, honest reflections, and greater confidence to specify and deliver timber on their next project.

This seminar will take place the day of the Timber Design Awards Gala.

Ticket includes morning tea & lunch. 

When: Friday 26 June 2026
Time: 9.15am - 3.30pm
Where: Cordis Hotel, Auckland
