Top result for commercial project

11 February 2011

Commercial projects don’t come much bigger than a series of developments spread over 30 acres at Breakfast Point, 10kms west of Sydney CBD. The first 10 storeys were concrete and steel, but the massive roof was almost completely prefabricated in timber.

“Occasionally we had to factor in some minor adjustments, but having access to MiTek’s 20/20 program on-site and especially the VersaTruss feature, enabled us to recalculate walk-throughs and alter web placements, without compromising engineering integrity, accordingly,” assured Stephen Hayne, Technical Manager with (licensed MiTek fabricator), Belmont Timber.

Project Manager, Cameron Waller of Richard Crook Constructions, found MiTek 20/20 more than handy on-site. “Having the ability to visualise in 3D, and hone in on areas of interest right there and then is a huge time-saver. MiTek 20/20 is an incredibly powerful program – unlike any other I’ve seen. Advances in timber engineering over the past few years means you can do just about anything with timber now… and it’s a lot more cost-effective than steel,” added Cameron.
