Special Guest - Nick Hewson - Continuing the Conversation in Mass Timber Construction

Embark on a transformative adventure with Paul as he sits down
with Nick Hewson, a trailblazer in the mass timber industry. Our
conversation travels through Nick's pivotal career moments, from
his early fascination with megastructures to his influential role
in championing cross-laminated timber down under. As we swap
stories of our collaborative ventures, you'll hear how Nick's
move to Australia marked a new chapter in advancing sustainable
construction in a burgeoning market.

Sustainability is no longer a niche concern but a central
priority reshaping the construction industry, and this episode
doesn't shy away from the heart of this evolution. We trace the
global surge in mass timber projects, acknowledging the profound
shift from cost to environmental consciousness within the sector.
With insights into how international climate agreements like
COP26 have spurred on industry changes and the potential for
offsite construction to revolutionize productivity and housing,
we confront the challenges and celebrate the victories of
sustainable construction head-on.

Prepare to join Timber Dialog, a dynamic forum born from a
passion for open exchange among timber construction
professionals. We dissect the intricate dance of designing
buildings for reuse and ponder the exciting potential for a
circular economy in our industry. The dialogue extends an
invitation for you to become part of the conversation, as we look
ahead to future milestones in mass timber construction, and the
positive global impact we can forge together.
