Services of timber engineers
15.12.2020
Timber construction projects are becoming larger and more complex. Architects therefore prefer to work with a timber engineer. Their services are described in a newly published information sheet. Timbatec has contributed significantly to the Compact "Services of Timber Construction Engineers".
The new code of practice defines the basic services of the timber construction engineer in addition to the SIA 103:2019 "Code of Practice for Services of Civil Engineers". Here you can find the online document.
Occasion
Timber construction tasks in building construction usually involve

moisture protection, etc., and therefore require a holistic planning approach. Accordingly
the quality-relevant planning interfaces within the timber construction
and also to subsequent trades must be identified and defined.
