BRANZ would like to invite NZIOB members to take part in an industry-wide survey on the uptake of engineered wood products (EWPs) in the New Zealand construction industry.

EWPs include the full range of structural and non-structural building materials made from timber and timber fibre. This includes things like laminated veneer lumber (LVL), cross-laminated timber (CLT), plywood, particleboard and other composite wood products utilising wood. They are seeking a diverse range of views and experiences across the sector no matter how big or small the company is.

The awareness of mass timber as a construction option is increasing but there is currently no effective monitoring of the lead and lag indicators of this adoption in New Zealand. Your responses will help BRANZ by providing valuable feedback on the current uptake and barriers to the use of engineered wood products (EWPs) and will help us track the construction sector's contributions to meeting New Zealand’s climate change commitments.

The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete, and responses will remain confidential.
