This Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the fire safety design of timber buildings in compliance with the NCC (National Construction Code of Australia - volume 1).

The aim of this work is to stimulate providers of homes to design and produce affordable and sustainable houses. This not only scales up building production in empty fields but also within difficult and dense urban areas.

This paper presents an examination of architectural variety and spatial possibilities in current serial and modular multi-storey timber construction. It aims to draw a parallel between architectural characteristics and their elation to structural systems in timber. The research draws from a collection of 350 contemporary multi-storey timber building projects between 2000 and 2021. It consists of 300 built projects, 12 projects currently in construction, and 38 design proposals.

The prefabricated architecture improves the speed of construction, quality of architecture, efficiency of materials, and worker safety, while
limiting environmental impacts of construction, as compared to conventional site-built construction practices.

A roadmap for the decarbonisation of the building and
construction sector in Ireland

This paper examines the development and current status of prefabrication techniques and their application in building construction. An overview of the current UK house building market and its status in terms of the utilization of prefabrication techniques has been made. Investigation of past engineering practices and existing knowledge of prefabrication has allowed several low cost techniques to be summarised.

This paper gives an overview of some characteristic modern timber buildings in Slovenia and Sweden, and the different construction techniques that are used in these two countries. Successful initiatives supporting the use of timber in construction are also presented. The opportunities for the further development of sustainable timber constructions in Slovenia and Sweden lie in new production methods, high prefabrication, and energy-efficient and climate-effective architecture

Real cases in Australia that prove the swift in materials used for buildings

The deconstructable wood building system can then become an effective response to support social policies that involve local communities in sustainable development and participatory construction as tools for achieving adequate quality housing at affordable financial and environmental costs, promoting a sustainable way of living based on mutualism and cooperation.

The optimal size of the design module is the key measure of the project and its final choice represents the most responsible move of every architect in the initial phase of his work. The importance that belongs to this original measure is, therefore, decisive for the other measures of the project. And all of them, if possible, should be expressed in whole numbers - with factors of the construction or standard module. At this point it is useful to underline the concise American definition of module:
"The standard module is a unit of 1", used as a standard measurement supplement in the spacing of the standard grid. The standard grid represents a spatial (three-dimensional) orthogonal coordinate system to which all construction measurements, main and detailed, are added.
