Architectural and environmentally responsible timber structures

Architecturally
Inspired Structures

Beautiful and environmentally responsible structures, built with precision and efficiency, are now possible. Now architects can optimise the use of structural timber, achieving high aesthetic outcomes with strong project cost control through close consultation, Timberbuilt Solutions enables architects and designers to achieve structural performance generally associated with steel or concrete, but also the added benefits of environmental performance and ease of installation.

Timber can be used as both an aesthetic and structural medium – in small, medium and large projects. Contact Timberbuilt Solutions to discuss your ideas for a distinctive building design in wood.

Collaboration & Design Integration

Many schemes fail to achieve their full potential through lack of design integration between the architect, client and timber frame designer. If you are an architect, engineer or anyone else with a project in mind (at the early design or conception stage of a timber framed structure) we would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you.

The earlier we are involved the greater the potential it will be for the project. Engineered timber solutions offer great opportunities to create open volumes of space, impressive civic or commercial structures, galleries, schools, community centres, bridges and so on. Our collaboration on projects since 1986 means that we have accumulated a lot of experience. We can design and prefabricate in LVL, plywood, dried hardwoods and green hardwoods . Whatever the choice of timber, we can add value to your project.

Planning Stage

Timber structures with strong environmental qualities may often find favour with planning authorities where other types of structures may not. They are distinctive in appearance and can bring a feeling of warmth and a natural quality often missing in structures from other materials.

We have worked with many good architects, engineers and builders in the past. We are happy to review a scheme prior to planning and discuss any aspects that we feel may benefit from our input. Consultants and their clients are welcome to visit our office in Clayton to discuss how the building might be constructed.
