The gro wing interest in exposed wood surfaces\, driven by biophilic design and low-carbon materials\, is ch allenging the design community to explore ways to deliver more wood in their spaces. The practicalit ies of this are not yet mainstream or widely under stood. \;In this session\, the speaker will i ntroduce a technical handbook offering innovative\ , practical solutions\, and best practices for exp osing wood in interior spaces. \;This researc h is based on insights from more than 40 stakehold ers\, including owners\, operators and designers a nd represents a variety of building types includin g residential\, healthcare\, education\, instituti onal\, commercial\, and community projects.
The speaker will present key themes including desi gn decisions that leverage the unique material cha racteristics of wood\, methods to protect\, mainta in\, and repair it for long-term performance\, how to optimize wood use through collaboration and re source stewardship\, and how to navigate building codes and regulations that shape how exposed wood can be utilized. \;

:
- Identi fy the key functional\, aesthetic\, and experienti al reasons for specifying wood in interior spaces\ , including its effects on occupant experience\, a coustics\, and material character. \;< /li>
- Describe ho w wood’s material properties — such as grain\, col our\, grade\, hardness\, movement\, surface reflec tance\, and antimicrobial characteristics — influe nce design decisions\, detailing\, and performance in interior applications. \;
- Evaluate strategies for integrating exposed wood into interior projec ts\, including coordination with building systems\ , acoustic requirements\, use in specialized envir onments\, maintenance needs\, and code-related con siderations such as flame spread and combustible f inishes. \;
- Apply best practices for using wood e fficiently and responsibly by considering standard material sizes\, prefabrication\, repeated detail s\, construction protection\, budget-conscious all ocation\, and approaches that support stewardship\ , reuse\, and design for disassembly. \;

When it comes to contracts\, it’s n ot about your own thoughts and assumptions - it’s about what’s written!
Allocation of risk often gets chan ged in contract clauses based on project owners or their lawyers’ past experiences. The issue with c hanges to contract clauses is the lack of understa nding of what the clause means and its associated risk. This means if the risk materializes and disp utes arise\, relationships are damaged\, project c osts can increase\, schedules can be compromised\, bidders can jeopardize their businesses and the p otential for litigation increases.
This course will help
you understand what the risks are in CCDC\, CCA a
nd provincial standard contracts that have been mo
dified by non-standard clauses\, why these clauses
are modified and the costs associated with these
clauses.
BE AWARE: In the nuances of the prime contract clauses\, there are implications to all partners i ncluding the consultants and subcontractors.
You will ex perience all this through the eyes of the project partners – the owner\, consultant and contractor. Experts from each sector will share their insight\ , knowledge and explain the “why”\, “what” and “ho w” to mitigate these clauses.
Understand WHAT the r isks are in CCDC\, CCA and provincial standard con tracts that have been modified by supplementary co nditions- Discover WHY these clauses are modified
- Develop s trategies on HOW to address the impact of these cl auses
- Apply what you have learned to determine COSTS a ssociated with these clauses
“A fan tastic course to deep dive into supplementary cond itions and consider what they *actually* mean from different construction industry perspectives.” - Architect participant (January 2024)
