Services
Timber Structures
We engineer and construct architecturally exposed timber buildings using advanced mass timber technologies. Our expertise includes cross-laminated timber and glulam systems that combine structural efficiency with natural aesthetics. Projects range from commercial offices to educational facilities requiring sustainable, high-performance solutions.
Footbridge Design
Specializing in custom pedestrian bridges with innovative timber solutions. Our Design-Build approach covers complete bridge systems from conceptual design through construction, incorporating environmental considerations and prefabrication techniques for cost-effective installations across diverse terrains.
Hybrid Construction
We integrate timber with steel, concrete, and glass to create optimized structural systems. This approach allows us to leverage material strengths while maintaining architectural vision, particularly effective for long-span applications and complex geometries requiring both strength and aesthetic appeal.
3D Parametric Modeling
Our computational design team utilizes advanced parametric software for structural optimization and fabrication planning. This technology enables efficient coordination with other disciplines, precise construction documentation, and real-time structural analysis to ensure buildable, cost-effective solutions.
Structural Testing
We conduct full-scale structural testing in our controlled facility to verify design assumptions and push engineering boundaries. This capability ensures our innovative solutions meet performance requirements while maintaining safety standards, particularly for unique or complex structural systems.
