In contrast, CLT is revolutionising delivery timelines. <a href=\"https:\/\/lamellammc.com\/arbour-vale-school-gallery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">At Arbour Vale School, Lamella installed 208m\u00b3 of precision-engineered CLT panels<\/a> in under two weeks, completing the entire project (including four fully operational SEND classrooms) in less than 12 weeks. This achievement included a 25% reduction in procurement time and an 80% reduction in construction traffic, significantly limiting on-site disruption and accelerating occupation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-154057 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-300x62.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1175\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-768x158.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-1536x316.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-696x143.png 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-1068x220.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-1920x395.png 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51-610x125.png 610w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-12-at-09.27.51.png 2024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1175px) 100vw, 1175px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The speed comes from CLT\u2019s modular precision.

Unlike concrete and steel, which require high-temperature processing and emit large volumes of carbon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/mmc-news\/government-publishes-timber-in-construction-roadmap\/149147\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">timber<\/a> is nature\u2019s battery.

The Arbour Vale School project alone avoided 238 tonnes of CO\u2082 emissions, achieved an A+ EPC rating, and delivered a building emission rate of \u20132.9 kg CO\u2082\/m\u00b2\/year, exceeding RIBA 2030 and LETI carbon benchmarks.<\/p>\n<h3>Healthier, happier spaces<\/h3>\n<p>The biophilic and breathable nature of timber supports occupant wellbeing, which is a particularly vital factor in education and healthcare. Students at Arbour Vale now learn in spaces that are quieter, warmer, and more conducive to focus and calm &#8211; an essential benefit for SEND environments. As Lamella puts it, this is not just carbon reduction; it&#8217;s human-centred design, powered by the sun.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaboration: The key to success<\/h3>\n<p>Behind every successful CLT project lies a strong partnership. Lamella\u2019s delivery model thrives on transparency, communication, and trust across the supply chain. By engaging early with architects, clients, and installation teams, they avoid costly delays and ensure precise coordination from design to delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Lamella\u2019s partners aren\u2019t just suppliers or contractors, they are co-creators of outcomes. This culture of integrity fosters mutual accountability, enabling teams to respond dynamically to site conditions, meet aggressive timelines, and consistently deliver above expectations.<\/p>\n<h3>The future is CLT, and it\u2019s already here<\/h3>\n<p>CLT is no longer a fringe solution; it is the future of construction. Lamella is proving that we don\u2019t need to compromise on quality, cost, or sustainability. By combining natural intelligence with cutting-edge engineering and by embracing a collaborative mindset, we\u2019re not just constructing buildings; we\u2019re building a better way forward.<\/p>\n<p>As we face rising demand for energy-efficient spaces, reduced emissions, and accelerated project delivery, CLT stands as the clearest path forward.<\/p>\n<p>Build smarter. Build faster.
