Meet our Timber Team - With the collective experience in delivering over 50 ADVANCED TIMBER PROJECTS to date and growing, we have over 15 engineers across all locations dedicated to and continually investigating this material for mass use. We are excited by the industry’s enthusiasm to using mass timber as a viable construction material in the form of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), glulam and LVL.
Our team’s approach to the design and detail of structures look to MAXMIMISE THE PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES available for your project. By developing solutions with the flexibility to be manufactured or sourced both locally and internationally, we do this through our intrinsic understanding of timber design from first principles.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR OWN IN-HOUSE DESIGN TOOLS AND SOFTWARE that allow 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, designing transportable building panels and modules, and minimising crane hook time.
Technology:
- On the frontline of timber technology and design
- Adopting the latest lateral analysis modelling

- Up to date fire test knowledge
- Involved in full scale fire and strength testing.
Methods:
- Understanding tight tolerances
- Lightweight, panelised construction streamlines design
- Fast and efficient building production
- Easier construction techniques mean lower labour costs
- Ideal solutions for modular building methods
- Adopting the latest connections and fixtures.
- Hybrid steel and concrete timber options
