With over 20 engineers in the Timber team, they hold a collective experience in delivering 100+ ENGINEERED TIMBER PROJECTS to date. We are excited by the industry’s enthusiasm to use mass timber as a viable construction material in the form of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), glulam and LVL.

    We have developed our own in-house design tools and software that allows us to design agnostically and beyond the standard publications and guides commonly available. Further to this, our engineering and Building Information Modelling (BIM) systems are designed to ensure that prefabricated and modular elements are built and delivered to the stringent tolerances required.

    This holistic and sustainable design philosophy seeks to minimise construction labour and time on site, reduce wastage of materials at fabrication, design transportable building panels and modules, and minimise crane hook time.

    Why we value timber

    • Resistant to corrosive environments
    • Offsetting the carbon footprints
    • High quality in panelised construction
    • Higher structural efficiency compared to reinforced concrete and steel
    • Lighter - resulting in less labour on site
    • Wellness effects for occupants

    Timber is the new concrete

    • Cross Laminated Timber - CLT
    • Glulam
    • Laminated Veneer Lumber - LVL
    • Sawn Timber
