The team will travel back to the US for a 2nd Research Trip.

The team visited custom builders 'Rainbow Construction' in La Habra heights to get a feel for their projects and how they source products and specify them on their jobs. We then moved onto a very different type of construction by visiting the Centex development in Oxnard, which was firmly in the production building arena.

This wrapped up the visit for the majority of the team, whilst John Gifford travelled on to meet with Eric Hensen a well known researcher of timber products in Eugene.
