And today I called for expressions of interest to join new Timber in Construction Working Group. The group will examine how to increase #Timber in construction, and maximise the use of Irish timber in the homes and buildings of the future.

@PaulWoldfarm A fence post should be targeting a 15 year desired service life in BS8417. There will always be a few outliers in a fence line, some posts fail early, 25% fail before 10 years is unacceptable.
@JoeGiddings4 @luhc Worth looking out for! I’d like to see more of a sense of urgency in policy. A one year DLUHC contract about to start researching methods for measurement of embodied carbon and the impacts of WLC assessment. Do we not know this?
In partnership with @iconstruct_uk, we’re launching a free scheme that will empower 20 #SMEs to bring innovations to the #construction industry. Businesses will work with our experts & get independent advice.
