This guide introduces and describes the open timber construction system. In addition it also lists those building regulations that affect the design and construction of timber buildings and presents some model structures that comply with these regulations. The guide is intended primarily for the use of architects and students of architecture or building construction. Its aim is to demonstrate the parameters and potential that the open timber construction system provides for the design of buildings. The guide deals mainly with the design of residential buildings. However, whenever appropriate, it can also used as reference in the design of other building types.
