36 CANADA Pine and Cypress House, Vancouver Canada

37 Canada Vancouver City in 1987 allowed 4 storey Timber Frame construction In 2009 they were reviewing to allow 6 storey timber frame Through the Urban Development Institute commissioned the BTY Group

38 Canada BTY is a Cost Management and Project Management consulting firm They compared Concrete Lightweight Steel Lightweight timber

39 Canada Results from the study (2009) Concrete construction: CAD$265 ft 2 (CAD$2,851 m 2 ) Light steel frame construction: CAD$264 ft 2 (CAD$2,841 m 2 ) Wood frame construction: CAD$237 ft 2 (CAD$2,550 m 2 ) 11% less expensive than six storey residential concrete or light steel frame

40 BTY Group Update BTY Group JOE REKAB, PARTNER General yes, costs have stayed competitive The big pressure right now in Canada in the major centres (Vancouver & Toronto) is labour (or lack of)

41 Vancouver Cost Comparison ALTUS Group Construction Cost Guide, 2016 Construction cost per m 2 $2,153 to $2,691 $2,260 to $2,906 $1,400 to $1,776 $1,238 to $1,668 Wood frame 1/3 cheaper 41

42 Other cost comparison quotes Al Poettcker, CEO and president of UBC Properties Trust (UBCPT). "A six-storey concrete building will typically cost an additional $60 to $70 extra per square foot when compared to an equivalent suite in a wood-frame building which can add up very quickly," 42

43 Vancouver s Wood Frame Market share

44 Vancouver s Wood Frame Market Share Vancouver wood frame apartment market share Up to 4 storey 90% 5 and 6 storey 70% commencing at 0% market share in 2009 (300 + projects to date) 44

46 Canada Summary Wood Frame is considerably cheaper Obtaining dominance in Vancouver

47 WHERE IS AUSTRALIA IN THE RACE FOR TALL TIMBER BUILDINGS?

49 My Criteria In my opinion, to be impressive in the world of tall wood buildings you need to be o Built or underway no proposed buildings o 7 or more storeys of timber construction o Must be modern (this century please) o Timber elements must be predominately used in loadbearing vertical and horizontal element Why?

50 Why seven storeys or above? Canada has hundreds (300+) at 6 storeys already

51 Lots of Older Buildings Greater than 6 Storeys Perry House, Brisbane circa 1913

52 6 Storey has been done for centuries (6 actually) Rennes, Brittany Circa 1400 s 52

53 Load Path in Timber Doorman, Rotterdam 16 on 4 Steel framed

54 Terminology When describing how high a timber building is, you need to indicate how much is timber and how much is concrete Example: 5 on 3

55 Australian Example Seven over seven Seven storeys of concrete over seven storeys of timber

56 Australian Example

57 Strongest You Say Concrete 30 MPa Hardwood (Grey Ironbark) 95 MPa
