A key contributor to this effort is Woodknowledge Wales (WKW), whose deep commitment to building a sustainable, low-carbon future has shaped both the content and direction of this Yearbook. Led by Sarah Lawton, an editor and communicator working to connect the timber industry with the wider climate, land-use and design agenda, the WKW team has played a central role in curating the insights, case studies, and technical contributions you'll find in these pages.
UK Construction Week – where timber meets the wider construction industry
UK Construction Week continues to bring together the organisations shaping the future of the built environment. With events at ExCeL London and the NEC Birmingham, the exhibition provides an opportunity to explore how timber, offsite manufacture and low-carbon construction fit within the wider conversations around building performance, regulation, productivity and innovation.
“From structural timber and offsite manufacture to digital delivery and retrofit, UK Construction Week brings the construction supply chain together in one place.”
Timber within the wider construction landscape
For timber professionals, UK Construction Week offers far more than a product showcase. It provides an opportunity to see how engineered timber, timber frame systems and building envelope solutions sit alongside advances in digital construction, modern methods of construction, retrofit and industrialised manufacturing.
The Offsite Show remains a key destination for visitors interested in timber construction, demonstrating how factory-based manufacture and integrated design continue to support improvements in quality, productivity and project delivery.
Learning across the built environment
An extensive programme of CPD-accredited seminars, technical presentations and panel discussions explores many of the issues influencing today’s construction sector. Topics include building safety, whole-life carbon, housing delivery, digital design, planning, infrastructure, procurement and skills development.
Bringing together architects, engineers, contractors, developers, manufacturers and policymakers, the programme encourages knowledge exchange across disciplines while providing valuable insight into emerging regulations, specification trends and construction practices.
Building connections across the supply chain
Alongside the conference programme, hundreds of exhibitors present products, systems and technologies spanning every stage of the construction process. For timber suppliers and manufacturers, this creates opportunities to engage with specifiers, contractors and clients while understanding how timber contributes to wider project objectives.
With London and Birmingham each offering complementary programmes, UK Construction Week continues to provide an important meeting place for the organisations delivering the UK’s future built environment.
UK Construction Week continues to provide a forum for understanding how timber contributes to the future of the wider built environment.
