Austimber Team Up With ADCO

Austimber recently manufactured for ADCO Constructions new head office in Melbourne a curved timber brick screen wall that has become the centre-piece of their office.

Not only did we supply, but AusTimber provided consultation , assembly advice, docking ,drilling & final coating of the bricks offsite as well all fixing materials, enabling fast assembly and a superior finish of a stable and rigid screen wall.

The architects on this project – Woods Bagot are well known to Austimber as we have previously supplied a number of other projects around Australia in the past.

We have also had prior experience with block screen walls including a similar project completed several years ago at the Castle Hill RSL “Rib Factory” restaurant in NSW.

If you can design it … Austimber can make it!

Great Ocean Walk Trail Head

Great Ocean Walk Trail Head

Austimber worked with the landscape architects (TBLD) and Parks Victoria to select timber species and decking profiles prior to tendering for construction.

Austimber did a take-off of required lengths, cut all timber to length for minimum waste and then kiln dried the Grey Ironbark months in advance to it being required on site.

Once the contract was let, we also liaised with the construction contractor to double check all measurements.

Timber was the machined fresh only the week before needed on site!

All timber was then packed and labelled for each different deck section, sub-deck, etc. and delivered direct from our Box Hill (Sydney) yard to Apollo Bay ready for immediate installation  –  keeping both, site damage and handling on site to a minimum.
