Timber Building Systems – manufactured timber panels and cladding- Penrith
Timber Building System is a revolutionary and unique post tensioned pre-manufactured
building system which is destined for the construction of hotels, multi-storey apartments,
student accommodations, commercial office buildings and senior housing facilities.
The technologies which are offered by Timber Building System to their clients include:
architectural design flexibility, customer services, high quality products and services, lower
overall costs, sustainable solutions and fast turnaround technologies. Timber Building
Systems’ patented building assembly system offers flat wood panels which include plumbing,
structural and electrical service elements (Allen, 2016, p. 341).
According to the Timber Building System environmental objectives, the enterprise minimises
its project carbon foot print through maximising the regional sourced products and other
manufacturing servicing .Addition to that and in direct contrast to the pre-fabricated
manufacturers and convention modular. Timber Building systems’ unique package and
connecting system which set us apart, thus making delivery and installation process among
the efficient in the entire construction industry. Timber Building System has a lot of
experience in delivering both large and small scale prefabricated residential and commercial
projects.
There are many features which make Timber Build System unique from other construction
enterprises. The Timber Build system has specially been developed for low-to-mid-rise
residential and commercial buildings. There are benefits which are associated to the Timber
Build System as discussed below:
Sustainability
While most of the other construction materials are sourced from industries. The wood is
usually obtained from the natural environment which is considered to be much sustainable as

compared to the other materials which are sourced from factories. The wood which is used as
the major construction material by Timber Build System is renewable and also require less
energy during construction as compared to other construction materials such as steel and
aluminium (Binggeli, 2011, p. 282).
Cost Savings
Timber Building Systems provides a competitive overall project pricing model. TBS unlike
other construction enterprises offers cost predictability and control to their clients. That is
because the manufacturing activities occur within a controlled environment. The wood is the
main construction material which is used by Timber Building Systems is relatively cheap as
compared to other construction materials and readily available in the environment. The site
overhead costs, financial holdings and the construction schedule are much lower than the
other construction enterprises.
Enhanced quality
One of the major objectives of Timber Building Systems is to ensure that they serve their
clients with the best quality products which meets their expectations.
The activities of Timber Building Systems are based on supervision and manufacturing
principles which ensures that the quality of the products which are produced by TBS meet all
the safety and regulatory requirements (Boström, 2009, p. 54).
The employees of the Timber Building System are trained to obtain up to date in order to
complete with other enterprises in the construction industry so as to offer the best quality of
services in the market. Timber Building Systems uses modern tools and technologies which
ensures that the products which are offered by TBS are of high quality and meets the

expected standards. Timber Building Systems have adopted an automated production system
and other rigorous quality control programme.
Customisable design
Timber Build Systems recognises the high value of variability in the design of the buildings.
Thus TBS offers almost full spatial and architectural layout freedom. By applying the auto
industry principles of design for assembly and manufacturing.
TBS ensures that the utmost functionality and efficiency of each aspect of fabrication, design
and site construction are met.
Comparing the Timber Build System with other construction enterprises, it is very evident
that the Timber Build System is one of the most organised construction enterprises which are
organised to offer customised designs to their client.
Reduced Building Mass
In this construction enterprises woo/timber is the major construction material which they use
in the construction of their projects. Comparing timber to other construction materials such as
steel and concrete, the use of timber as construction material reduces the overall building
mass by almost 50%.The reduced overall building mass results in the lower substructure
costs. That is attributed to the less resources which re focused to the construction of the
foundation (Chappell, 2012, p. 159).
Safety and Health
An essential number of man-hours occurs within the safer controlled factory environment. At
Timber Building Systems they reduce the exposure of their employees to the high risk site
conditions. The Timber Build Systems’ patented system also eliminates the need for the
