It was a pleasure to welcome delegates from Viet Nam to BRANZ this week as part of the Vietnamese Timber Construction Tour We were delighted to host representatives from the Ministry of Construction of Viet Nam (MOC) and the Viet Nam Institute for Building Materials (VIBM), who visited to learn more about New Zealand’s building science, timber construction systems, and the role of research and standards in supporting high‑performing, sustainable buildings. Thank you to our Vietnamese colleagues for taking the time to visit and share your perspectives. Connections like these matter - they strengthen our learning, challenge thinking, and help building research have impact well beyond our borders, while supporting stronger links between Viet Nam and New Zealand in timber and construction innovation. #VietnameseTimberConstructionTour #BRANZ #TimberConstruction #BuildingScience #Vietnam #NewZealand #InternationalCollaboration
