Welcome to the latest edition of the WoodWorks BC Insider Report! Our network brings together people with ideas, experience, and a shared interest in building better with wood. This issue offers opportunities to make those connections count, from getting involved at BUILDEX 2027 to rethinking how we design and deliver housing.
In this issue we explore how repeatable design can help deliver more housing, leveraging standardization to support more efficient construction while still leaving room for architectural expression and remaining responsive to specific project requirements.
This issue also outlines our planned presence at BUILDEX Vancouver, February 10–11, where we'll present two keynotes, three wood-focused education tracks, and an expanded wood pavilion that will feature not one, but two timber installations!
Come for practical insights, fresh perspectives, and to connect with people who can help move your next project forward. For businesses looking to reach the design and construction community, discounted exhibition space and session sponsorships offer valuable visibility, including the opportunity to take the stage and introduce a sponsored session.
We hope the resources and opportunities in this issue offer useful ideas for your work, and we look forward to seeing you at BUILDEX. In the meantime, whether you have a question about the program or would like to discuss a project, our WoodWorks BC team would be pleased to hear from you.
