Special Guest - Nick Hewson - Continuing the Conversation in Mass Timber Construction

Mass Timber Construction Podcast

Embark on a transformative adventure with Paul as he sits down with Nick Hewson, a trailblazer in the mass timber industry. Our conversation travels through Nick's pivotal career moments, from his early fascination with megastructures to his influential role in championing cross-laminated timber down under. As we swap stories of our collaborative ventures, you'll hear how Nick's move to Australia marked a new chapter in advancing sustainable construction in a burgeoning market.
Sustainability is no longer a niche concern but a central priority reshaping the construction industry, and this episode doesn't shy away from the heart of this evolution. We trace the global surge in mass timber projects, acknowledging the profound shift from cost to environmental consciousness within the sector. With insights into how international climate agreements like COP26 have spurred on industry changes and the potential for offsite construction to revolutionize productivity and housing, we confront the challenges and celebrate the victories of sustainable construction head-on.
Prepare to join Timber Dialog, a dynamic forum born from a passion for open exchange among timber construction professionals. We dissect the intricate dance of designing buildings for reuse and ponder the exciting potential for a circular economy in our industry. The dialogue extends an invitation for you to become part of the conversation, as we look ahead to future milestones in mass timber construction, and the positive global impact we can forge together.
