Our Director, David Hopkins, gave a presentation on the Timber in Construction Policy Roadmap that is set to be released this autumn. The presentation looked at the barriers to timber construction, and how the government is looking to address them.

The CTI is delighted to be sponsoring the @constructingexc Midlands Construction Summit today. The summit is set to tackle the key issues facing our industry such as building safety, building in a climate crisis and future skills. #CEMidlands #construction #timber
