"Mass timber – it's an exciting space, it has a long way to run. There's huge potential, and I think a few of the preconceived ideas of the past in terms of costs or time or limitations around fire, we should continue to challenge these. They're not insurmountable. What you might've been told is impossible two years ago, could well be possible now, or it may be possible by the time your project kicks off, and I think more than ever that is true."
