ABSTRACT
This report identifies learnings for the Australian timber industry sector with a snapshot of solutions to in-service moisture issues, at various stages including product manufacturing, construction site and end users/in-service. It provides information to assist with effective moisture safety planning and practice, so as to build the industry’s confidence to design and construct more resilient timber buildings that last the expected service life in Australian climate types.
