CPD seminars ‘TRADA in the Regions’ – Building in Green Oak

As part of this renowned series of seminars TRADA have asked Carpenter Oak & Woodland to host and deliver two CPD events at our framing yards in Angus and Wiltshire

Friday, September 05, 2008 ·

This inspirational and informative seminar on the use of green timber as a construction material will be held at the framing yards of Carpenter Oak & Woodland and delivered by commercial director Andy Parker.

Green timber is a sustainable material that has formed the structure of many historic buildings and offers tremendous potential for creating modern buildings of outstanding beauty.

This seminar is a must for anyone interested in developing their understanding of green timber frame as a construction method. To add even more value to the day we’re giving every attendee a free copy of the TRADA publication ‘Green Oak in Construction’ (worth £65) and Carpenter Oak & Woodland’s own booklet of standard ‘Indicative Interface Detailing’.

The afternoon will include a tour of the framing yard where you’ll get the opportunity to see first hand how frames are fabricated and talk to the framers themselves about the manufacturing and erection processes.

Due to popular demand this seminar is being held in two regions in the UK, 8th October in Angus, Scotland and 18th November in Wiltshire, England.  You can get a full overview of the event and booking form with this pdf download (244)KB
