20% moisture content. A programme of work is currently being devised to assess the distortion of varying sample dimensions at different target moisture content values. Through Scottish Enterprise and European Regional Development Funding the Centre for Offsite Construction + Innovative Structures has developed knowledge transfer linkages from emerging (North America) and established (Austria & Germany) markets for flow of information and strategic partnerships. As such we are currently evaluating the required facility capability and associated cost, time and funding requirements for UK CLT production.

The Centre for Offsite Construction + Innovative Structures also like to acknowledge and thank BSW Timber Ltd, Norbuild Timber Fabrication & Fine Carpentry Ltd and Purbond for their continued support.
