Updates to the Ontario Building Code in 2015 have led to the construction of mid-rise wood buildings all over the province. To date over 125 mid-rise projects are either in planning, under construction, or built and occupied, and demand for these buildings continues to grow.
Ontario Wood WORKS! is pleased to present a 1-day ?mid-rise essentials? program where participants will have the opportunity to learn directly from an architect, an engineer, and a developer who are building mid-rise projects in Ontario. The registration fee for this event is $250 +HST and includes lunch. All participants will receive a personalized continuing education certificate for 6 structured learning hours.
