Recommendation 20
20
Paragraph: 150
Significant obstacles to the uptake of timber products in construction remain.
Conclusion
Significant obstacles to the uptake of timber products in construction remain. These include issues regarding fire risk and insurance, price volatility, securing sustainable and local supply chains, and addressing skills gaps in the use of timber. The Government has made little progress in addressing these barriers since the Climate Change Committee’s 2019 recommendation for an increase in the use of timber in construction.
