MPP44 – Blinkhorn Cct Roof Cassettes – Oct 2022

The Meyer Timber NSW pre-fab team have done it again. This time it was roof cassettes made with 240mm deep meyJOIST rafters. Once on-site, it was installed in only 2 hours. The ease of installation along with the safety benefits of a stable working platform meant that it was an easy decision for the builder to go with

MPP43 – meyBRACE to the fore – Aug 2022

The important role that the meyBRACE plays in timber-framed construction was further exemplified when we received the call to replace a couple of steel truss braces. The steel option required additional carpentry work around to fit within a 90mm timber frame, but also caused headaches when face-fixing timber beams. On the other hand, meyBRACE was a treat to the carpenters as it seamlessly engaged with the timber elements around it. What's more, the meyBRACE also offered timely supply even during periods when supply chain delays are common

MPP42 – Macleay Island Mansion – July 2022

Building on an island can be quite difficult. Transport on barges is expensive, you need to make sure you have all the equipment, and getting rid of waste materials adds to the cost. These were some of the issues faced by Sam Dennis who wanted to build an affordable housing project on Macleay Island in QLD. So he asked Meyer Timber for assistance. Even though it was of modest size, the open plan living and large verandah meant the perfect solution was meyBRACE portals. Add to this meyJOIST, meySPAN13, and GL17C ridge beams and the result is an engineered timber masterpiece which ticked all the boxes.

MPP41 – The versatility of meyBRACE – June 2022

Recently we responded to an unusual request from a builder, to supply our meyBRACE timber portal to fit within an already installed wall frame and floor system. The meyBRACE was required to replace a steel truss brace, specified by the project engineer, that couldn’t be sourced in a timely manner. We ended up supplying the columns only, pre-fabricated as usual with stiffeners and pre-drilled holes to receive screws that form the knee joint. These columns were fixed into as-built floor beams to complete the meyBRACE 3640 to the satisfaction of the builder. We want more of this was the concluding remarks of the site-supervisor!

MPP40 – Meyer Wind Beam (MWB) – May 2022

We are always trying to find new innovative solutions to help our customers with the latest offering in NSW being the Meyer Wind Beam, or MWB. This is manufactured by the pre-fab team, consisting of a number of solid pine timber laminated together to finish up with a 90mm wide by 319mm high beam. The width gives good spanning capabilities and fits perfectly into a 90mm frame and the depth means the installer does not need to cut a strip of flooring to put on top. An install guide is included in the job pack along with screws to connect it to the frames. NSW customers will start to see these in floor systems delivered during May.

MPP39 – Qikpanel floor cassettes #4 – Apr 2022

In this edition, we feature yet another sub-floor cassette project that was successfully completed a few months ago. Comprising of meyJOISTs and a mixture of Os’floor and Constructafloor (wet areas), along with set-down showers and under-floor insulation, these floor cassettes gave the builder a complete system requiring minimal work on site. The installation was completed in a matter of hours despite the soggy ground conditions due to heavy overnight rain.

MPP38 – Henley Townhouses (Kalkallo) – Mar 2022

Timber Building Systems (TBS) have added yet another feather to their cap, by helping Henley Homes to transition from traditional building methods to pre-fabricated residential homes, the first of its kind in the builder’s 30-year history. The maiden project comprising of ten 2-storey townhouses is being built in Kalkallo, north of Melbourne, adopting prefabricated wall, floor and roof panels, designed and manufactured by TBS. Boasting an install time of 10 days (one day/townhouse) to lock-up stage, this project will help Henley Homes deliver a faster and more cost-effective end product.

MPP37 – Freestanding Merbau Gazebos – Feb 2022

The Meyer Timber out-door offering continues to gather steam! Our pre-cut outdoor kits were the ideal choice for a luxury resort in South West Rocks. Partnering with Eastland Truss and Timber, precision cut merbau allowed each pool-side Gazebo to be assembled in hours. The Meyer Timber fabrication line in NSW embraced the challenge of hardwood truss assembly with concealed screw connections. Give us a call to discuss how our expanding outdoor kit range can bring additional revenue to your business.

MPP36 – 4-Storey Residential Building in Port Melbourne – Dec 2021

Pushing the boundaries of small footprint design, this innovative four-story residential building was completed just weeks ago on the fringe of North Melbourne’s CBD. Our colleagues at Timber Building Systems (TBS) came up trumps when challenged with this project, built in a mere 4.1m x 15.9m footprint and located among existing buildings in a narrow street.

MPP35 – Magna Glulam Merbau Pergola in South Australia – Nov 2021

Meyer Timber has saved the day by supplying Magna Glulam product for a pergola structure in Adelaide. The pergola had sizing constraints which meant that from a durability and design perspective the only suitable timber product was Magna Glulam. A satisfied Peter Graham (Project Engineer) stated “The necessary stock items were sourced from Meyer Timber and they did a tremendous job in compiling the job lot of posts, beams and rafters, as well as and coordinating supply for the project.

MPP34 – Qikpanel cassettes for sub-floor in Neerim South (VIC) – Oct 2021

Another successful sub-floor cassette job was completed for GJ Gardner Homes in the Gippsland region in Victoria. As the external walls were clad (and not brick veneer), the perimeter of the floor needed to be exact. With bearers installed the same morning, the floor cassettes were positioned and allowed wall frames to continue seamlessly due to the precision of the factory manufactured floor panels.

MPP33 – Scale Wadsworth Floor Roof – Sep 2021

Recently the Meyer Timber pre-fab team was challenged with a complex build on a steep ocean-side block in Gerroa. Headed by builder and architect Matt Chan from Scale Architecture and combining forces with Wadsworth Joinery, the project pushed many boundaries and the end result was a rapid and accurate build, and a testing ground for future projects.

MPP32 – Qikpanel floor cassettes (Drouin, VIC) – Aug 2021

Our Qikpanel sub-floor cassette offer is gaining plenty of interest in the Victorian Gippsland region. We completed our third supply and install job only last week, with a fourth project lined up for installation late-August. This month’s Project Profile focuses on the latest job in Drouin. The striking feature of this project was the ability to complete both sub-floor cassettes and wall frame installation on the same day.

MPP31 – Wollemi Shrine (Machined posts and beams) – Jul 2021

Our pre-cut pergola service was the ideal choice for a Shrine being built at Wollemi College in Werrington. The posts and beams were machined and pre-coated by Meyer Timber and meshed together perfectly with roof trusses by Hunter Frames. Featuring F27 recycled posts and GL21S beams, the 12x12m structure will be a local landmark.

MPP30 – Floor Cassettes with a Difference – May 2021

The Eternity Life in West Footscray (Melbourne), a 61-unit (4-storey) residential development, was opened in late 2020. The floor system for this project was designed and supplied by Meyer Timber/TBS using pre-fabricated cassettes incorporating a custom-designed acoustic system. The builder, who traditionally uses concrete floors, was pleasantly surprised by the level of comfort and stability that he experienced when walking on the floor during construction.
