Our Design Engagement Team has been introducing our Optimised Design Service (ODS) to architects, engineers, and builders with spectacular results. A good example can be found in this floor framing comparison for an area of a large multi-family project.
This section is about 750sft and was originally designed with 9.5” I-Joists. When our ODS team assessed the design, they were able to consider our 9.25” Posi-Strut application as an alternate in both bottom chord and top chord configurations.
In addition to reducing joist count, minimising wood rim and blocking, and opening up space with an open web floor truss to let MEP pass through, floor framing costs per square foot are lowered by over 20 per cent.
Our Design Engagement Team is happy to provide guidance on your wood projects as you design them.
