WHY PARTICIPATE

The course offers a technical, hands-on approach to key topics such as durability and building envelope in timber constructions.

Learn how to design and build structures that not only meet immediate needs but also maintain functionality, safety, and aesthetics over time. A practical training experience, enriched with real examples and case studies, designed for those who aim to deliver quality and reliability.

Joining this course means investing in expertise and prevention. It’s an investment that pays off with immediate savings and long-lasting knowledge. With practical tools and specialized technical guidance, you’ll be able to avoid mistakes that can lead to costly consequences on site.

CONTENTS

The course provides practical and theoretical know-how to design and build timber constructions that ensure long-term durability.

It covers everything from selecting the right membranes to detailing the most critical junctions

(such as ground connections, flat roofs, and wall-to-window details), while also addressing strategies to restore durability when issues arise.

The program combines theory, innovative construction solutions, and real-world case studies, with a strong focus on designing and installing building envelopes to the highest standards.

  • Preventing degradation in timber constructions by creating details to the highest standards
  • Practical workshops: Wall-to-Window joint and application of membranes and tapes on roofs
  • Case studies and replicable technical solutions
  • Building envelope performance and solutions for critical details

AUDIENCE

This course is designed for those who want to work with quality and durability in timber construction, following a practical and hands-on approach.

It’s ideal for professionals who want to:

  • Expand their technical knowledge of timber construction, with a strong focus on durability: one of the most strategic topics in the industry today

  • Gain the essential skills to protect timber structures and prevent degradation, learning from real-world cases

  • Combine theory, practice, and informal opportunities for direct exchange with experts and fellow participants
