BUILDING WITH A DIFFERENCE

A recently constructed home was custom-designed and sited to frame the magnificent views of the Queenstown Lakes landscape. The look and feeling of warmth is created by the clear-span timber portal frame with its steel brackets – a feature of the Timbercore system.

The locally-grown sustainable timber is New Zealandmanufactured into the laminated product used by Timbercore. The structurally engineered portal frames are strong, aesthetically pleasing and can clear-span from 9 to 90 metres.

Timbercore is owned by Tony Boyce of Tony Boyce Builders, who construct the portals in their factory in Washdyke, Timaru. They provide construction services from lock-up stage to full build anywhere in the Canterbury and Otago regions. timbercore.co.nz
