After 26 years in the industry managing both small and large businesses it was time to go it alone. The vision was to fill a void and produce timber components. By supplying customers these components, it gave them the time to concentrate on their businesses’ success by taking care of some of their production costs and time. With the experience gained prior to starting Programmed Timber Supplies was invaluable in being able to understand the existing supply lines, relationships around them and the potential that still stood in the chain. A valuable conduit was able to be formed between sawmills and timber component users. Strong and enduring bonds have been formed up and down the supply chain through maintaining integrity and respect. The identified gap in the market was now being filled! Starting in a modest factory at Seven Hills PTS supplied predominantly the NSW market and with the move to the state-of-the-art facility in St Marys where we are now able to service all of Australia and beyond. Over time, PTS has been able to add an extensive range of services for other timber companies and businesses with specific timber requirements like treatment, docking, predrilled holes, regrading, repackaging, sorting, barcoding and grooving. From then to now, PTS has been able to play an active part in the Australian timber industry by improving local fibre utilisation, offering career paths for staff, provide for employees and their families and offer customers a value added benefit to their businesses by allowing them to network their own production.

  • A Review on Building Industrialization Pradeep Kumar A*, Vinayak Dave Dept
    Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical SciencesISSN: 0974-2115 A review on building industrialization Pradeep Kumar A*, Vinayak Dave Dept. of Civil Engineering, Saveetha school of Engineering, Saveetha University, Chennai *Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper has set the building industrialization as the main line and studies the common building types (single/low-level/multi-level/high-level residential buildings) in different countries. In the following sections, comparative analysis has been done in selecting construction methods, durations and costs based on various structural systems (wood, steel, prefabricated structures). After this, the underlying causes of these differences should be revealed. The final step is going to be the exploration of the most suitable industrialization residential building types for each. The main part of the paper has been divided into two parts: One is the common building types of single/low-level industrialized housing systems; the other is the common types of multi-story/high-level housing systems. For lower level buildings, the wood and light steel structures are easier to implement the design goal of ‘design diversity, modern manufacturing factory and green’. Meanwhile, the construction period is far more shorter than traditional brick and situ concrete engineering. The wooden houses in different countries (North America Finland, Japan and China) has distinct geographical and cultural characteristics and the cold-formed light steel keel systems have been greatly developed in Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. In these countries, different structural systems result in the change of construction methods. In accordance with the multi and high level buildings, the precast concrete and prefabricated steel structures has been most widely developed and used in Europe, America and Japan.

Tahir Timber roof truss system is one of the major structural application of timber in the housing industry in the country. Since its introduction into the local roof market in 1975, prefabricated timber roof truss system have earned a good reputation as they are designed using advanced structural engineering principles. The timber species such as Balau, Kekatong, Keranji, Resak, Merbatu and Kempas, are commonly preferred or specified to be used for roof truss fabrication. These species are belonged to the strength groups of SG 1 to 8G4, in accordance to timber strength grouping in MS 544 : Part 2 : 2001. However in recent years, the supply of these excellent strength wood species has been declining due to gradual depletion of natural forest and the reduction of logs production. On the other hand, the demand for timber in the prefabricated timber roof truss industry is continue to grow.

Numerous studies over the past 20 years showed that wood-based constructions have lower environmental impacts in terms of energy use, global warming potential, air pollution, water pollution and solid waste production than steel and cement-based systems.

Timber structures are used the world over because it has a better strength to weight ratio as compared to steel & concrete and can also outlive them both due to its quality & durability. Along with high durability, timber framed structures when designed well can create stunning features externally as well as provide beauty, warmth & functionality in the interior of the structure thus giving it an unmatched aesthetic appeal. Timber frame construction is undeniably the fastest form of construction. It’s typically 40-50% faster than steel & 90-100% faster than concrete. Due to the nature of construction & advanced technologies applied execution of activities take place simultaneously on site. This technology greatly improves precision that accelerates the build-time on sites. Unlike some building materials, wood construction can proceed in any season and almost any climate. Wood is lightweight & can be fabricated within minutes on site so when its time to renovate, it's hard to beat wood: whether you want to move a wall or extend a room, it's much easier, faster & more stable with wood.

  • Ceiling Diaphragm Action and Lateral Load Transfer in Nail Plated Timber Roof Truss Systems 37 Recommended Practice // December 2019
    TECHNICAL DATA SHEET ISSUED BY TIMBER QUEENSLAND CEILING DIAPHRAGM ACTION AND LATERAL LOAD TRANSFER IN NAIL PLATED TIMBER ROOF TRUSS SYSTEMS 37 RECOMMENDED PRACTICE // DECEMBER 2019 Horizontal wind actions on buildings creates lateral loads on the structure. These loads are transferred to the foundation or sub-level diaphragms through a systematic interaction between the roof truss system and bracing elements placed vertically in wall frames. Sheet ceiling lining, such as plasterboard, that is rigidly attached to the bottom chords of roof truss systems is typically used as a diaphragm to transfer these racking loads to bracing walls in residential structures of Class 1 and 10. AS 1684 Parts 2 and 3 provide ‘deemed to comply’ solutions in this regard. These solutions may also be applicable for some similar ‘light’ timber framed commercial buildings of Class 2 to 9. CEILING DIAPHRAGM ACTION WHERE FUNCTIONAL CEILING DIAPHRAGMS ARE Lateral load transfer can be successfully achieved where a functional NOT INSTALLED and adequate ceiling diaphragm is provided. In the case of clip on furring channels or suspended grid ceilings, or A functional ceiling diaphragm is conventionally created by where no ceilings are present, the diaphragm action is not available providing screw/nail fixed lining directly to bottom chords of roof from the ceiling linings. trusses. In cases where ceiling battens are being used; the battens While structural ties to bottom chords of trusses with strap bracing are screw/nail fixed to bottom chords of trusses and the ceiling is to bottom chords may be used to laterally restrain the bottom subsequently screw/nail installed to ceiling battens.
