Builder:Building Eco Systems Pty Ltd


Timberbuilt Solutions met the challenge of designing a custom structural solution for a unique building. Strong environmental outcomes were also produced with the use of totally plantation grown LVL and plywood products.

By modelling the members and their components in 3D, Timberbuilt Solutions could produce predictable outcomes in manufacture and performance

The Timberbuilt Solution

  1. Consult the architects to understand the design challenge
  2. Conceive and engineer the timber solution
  3. Price and budget the project and set expectations, discuss timing of site requirements, plan and program manufacture; then client sign-off
  4. Take broad 3D concept from architects and build the structure in the virtual space
  5. Provide engineering and details to client for approval
  6. Manufacture and deliver the specialised products to site
