🌲 V-Quest Speaks at 2022 Woodworks Conference
It was a privilege to be invited to **speak at the 2022 Woodworks Conference**, where our **Co-founder, Barry Lynch**, discussed the **remarkable progress** made within the **MPI Mid Rise Wood Construction Program**, with a focus on the **Clearwater Quays Project**.
🏗️ **Project Overview:** The **Clearwater Quays Project** was constructed using **CLT, GLT, and LVL**, showcasing **innovative timber construction techniques**. Despite delays caused by the **Covid pandemic**, the conference successfully took place virtually.
🔍 **V-Quest’s Role:** Barry presented on the **use of V-Quest** to analyse the **upfront embodied carbon** of the designed and constructed building. Collaborating with the **design team Enovate & Pacific Environments** and build team manager **Phil Thompkins**, we conducted a **comprehensive analysis**, covering:
- 🛠️ Labour constants
- 📅 Delivery programs
- 🏗️ Building mass & methodology conversions
- 🔬 Comparative carbon & cost analysis
✅ **Key Findings:** The analysis revealed that **mass timber buildings** are **cost-competitive** while significantly **reducing carbon emissions** and **building mass** when compared to **traditional steel and concrete construction**.
🎤 **Barry’s presentation was well received**, further reinforcing the importance and **potential of sustainable timber construction methods**.
