Concrete-Free Foundations with Beth Williams, Build Collective

We’re pretty good at reducing embodied carbon in above ground structure: timber structure + natural fibre insulation = done. But often our embodied carbon goals come unstuck when it comes to the foundation design.
In this week's webinar Beth Williams, Associate at Build Collective looks at concrete-free foundation options from a structural engineer’s perspective. She looks at the options based on shallow and deep foundations and designs where they might be appropriate…. and situations where they will not!
