Join us at our next Members’ meeting Special on  Wednesday 9th November, 7pm – 8pm .

Our guest speaker is  Joe Giddings  of ‘Built by Nature’ and he will be discussing, ‘ Timber and Insurance ‘.

Many of you that are involved with the practical elements of building with low carbon / natural materials will understand that the sector presently has an inconsistent process to enable a smooth method when constructing with such materials.

Joe has been investigating through his work at ‘ Built By Nature ‘ and with the group he helped to found, ‘ Architects Climate Action Network ‘, how this is managed. There will be a Q&A and here we can share our own experiences for discussion too!

This is an open meeting to the public – we look forward to seeing you then!
