A complex building would be an engineered timber building using CLT or glue laminated timber, GLT, to build multiple storeys. The committee has seen evidence of six- and eight-storey buildings in other European nations and an example of a 14-storey building in Helsinki. I accept what Ms Neary said about rain ingress into buildings through the cladding but they are using standardised European materials. Does she foresee that we could extract from those countries that have led on this and be able to apply the same standards and processes here? Are we trying to reinvent or are we taking from those countries? Can we not learn from those who are doing it well?
