The machines will be used on Bam's 'Flow' sustainable housing project which utilises modular timber components manufactured off-site and reduces construction time by as much as 75 percent, says the company. Delivery began in the third quarter of last year with six units, followed by another six units last month, and the final six machines are scheduled for delivery next month.
