SUMMARY:Getting Timber Right – Specification\, Grading and Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Timber Queensland\, this free webinar tackles one of the most persistent sources of project delays and disputes: confusion around timber grading\, unclear specifications and inappropriate substitutions. Timber specification decisions shape more than aesthetics — they influence compliance\, procurement\, certification and construction outcomes across the design-supply-construction chain. \nHosted online via Zoom\, the session brings together three industry experts. Lex Sommerville (BMCC Services) opens with a session on understanding timber grades and what MGP\, F-grades\, visual and machine grading actually mean in practice. James Dunstan (Professional Certification Group) follows with a certifier’s perspective on where specifications break down and how to avoid it. Cici Cai (Pryda) closes out the technical program with a look at substitutions — how alternatives should be assessed and what compliance pathways are required before they reach site. \nYou’ll come away with: \n\nA clear understanding of the differences between MGP grades\, F-grades\, hardwood grades\, visual grading and machine grading\nPractical guidance on avoiding specification mistakes that lead to procurement issues and compliance risk\nA better grasp of how to assess and document compliant timber substitutions\n\nEvent Details\n📅 Wednesday 26 August 2026\n🕐 11:00am – 1:00pm\n📍 Delivered via Zoom\n🎓 CPD certificate provided by Timber Queensland to attendees who complete the full session\n💲 Free\n🔗 Register via Timber Queensland
