"Australian Architects can design structures with the form and feel of timber, now with the spanning capabilities needed in the commercial and civic space"
"100% renewable, sustainable plantation-grown timber – achieving large spans with natural beauty"
"Timber provides impressive spans with a lighter footprint than steel or concrete – and has the added benefit of sequestering carbon in the structure"
"Curved timber structures over broad spans are now a reality – with Timberbuilt Solution’s curved plywood box beams"
"Timberbuilt Solutions’ BIM (Building Information Modelling) enables us to take your 3D model so we can model the structural timber components – saving time and money while achieving your architectural vision"
"From small commercial structures (400 m2) to large (25,000 m2), Timberbuilt Solutions can provide design, engineering and prefabrication solutions for a precise installation with low on-site costs"

Large beams were composed by laminating LVL sections using precision engineering. Once assembled, beams and columns were processed with all dimensions and connection details as per the 3D model produced in Cadwork.
100% plantation grown timber products were used for a great environmental outcome

The structure was “virtually built” in Cadwork 3D, so any issues with the frame were easily solved through active communication with the architect and builder.
The use of 3D modelling and prefabrication saved significant time on site, and produced highly accurate and detailed connections for the project.
All LVL members were sanded to improve appearance, and sprayed with a temporary sealer to protect for exposure to the elements during construction. Any members in weather-exposed applications e.g. verandah columns, were also H3 LOSP treated.
