Timber engineering is made of many 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 and we believe that the most important one is the design of the connections:

📌 timber -> timber
📌 timber -> steel
📌 timber -> concrete

Connections are a key factor 🔑, a factor that 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 💰 and the time ⏳ spent on the site. The formula is quite simple (apparently): the 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 the design of the connections, the 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 the time on site for the assembly, and the 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 the cost.

This is one of the most crucial parts of the 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 💰 process❗️❗️
