A multi-storey construction is turning heads in Launceston’s CBD — the building is made almost entirely from timber.

The 28-metre-high structure is going up fast, in fact, a lot faster than ones made from traditional building products like steel and concrete.

“The speed of construction has been the biggest eye-opener for us. We erected five levels of mass timber in three months… if that was traditional concrete and steel it would have been at least double that," Fairbrother’s build manager Marcus Perkins said.

Natural, productive and efficient. Cusp is the way towards a greener future.

Tasmanian Plantation Oak grows quickly; Harvestable in short 15-year rotations, compared to 25-30 years for softwood plantations, Tasmanian Plantation Oak provides a unique set of opportunities.

Faster growing trees means faster absorption of carbon, and faster rotations mean more building stock more often to lock that carbon up into the built environment.
