Timber Delivered Seminar

Real Projects, Real Teams, Real Results • Friday 26 June 2026 | Cordis Hotel, Auckland

Timber Delivered is a practical seminar exploring recently completed New Zealand mass timber projects.

During this one-day seminar, you'll discover how five ambitious projects have pushed the boundaries of timber design and construction in New Zealand.

Through case studies presented by some of the people behind them, you’ll hear the lessons learned, the design moves that made a difference, and the practical insights that helped bring these complex builds to life.

Take the next step toward unlocking the potential of timber in your projects. 

Tickets are limited to 80 attendees - we recommend registering while spaces are still available.

What you’ll take away

When you choose timber as the primary structure for an aircraft maintenance hangar, design a retirement facility that requires the largest volume of single-stage CLT in New Zealand to date, or plan a visitor centre in a protected national park, you learn a thing or two.

These are not ordinary projects. They are ambitious, complex, and in many ways groundbreaking - the kind of projects that help light the way for everyone else.

Timber Delivered is an opportunity to hear directly from some of the people behind these projects, and learn what they know now because they have been through it.
