Introducing the Wesbeam Townhouse Knowledge Series
The building industry is evolving rapidly, meaning smarter decisions need to happen earlier than ever.
That’s why Wesbeam has launched the Knowledge Series, an initiative designed to share practical, real-world insights from our Design & Engineering team.
This series is designed to help builders, designers, and developers make more informed structural decisions, and to equip the Australian residential building industry with the knowledge to approach design and engineering with greater confidence.
Through this series, we’ll cover:
- How to reduce unnecessary costs in structural design
- Ways to improve buildability and site efficiency
- Strategies to minimise redesign and delays
- Practical approaches to scaling multi-lot projects
- Understanding Wesbeam ’s solutions and design capabilities
Starting with the Right Foundation
Good townhouse design starts with the right foundation.
In our first instalment, we focus on how the Wesbeam Townhouse Design Guide helps builders and designers create smarter, more efficient projects from the outset.
Wesbeam’s Townhouse Design Guide provides a clear foundational overview of efficient townhouse floor design, supporting better decision-making early in the design phase.
Included in the guide are span tables to guide floor depth and structural direction early in the design phase as well as firewall and separating wall details to provide practical options for how intertenancy walls can be approached.
It is a powerful early-stage design tool. It helps teams develop an efficient scheme before structural decisions are locked in.
From there, Wesbeam’s Design Centre refines the concept into a fully certified structural design, optimised for:
- Efficiency
- Compliance
- Buildability
- Cost
Hear Peter Board, General Manager – Sales and Marketing, explain the benefits further.
What’s Next
The Wesbeam Townhouse Knowledge Series will continue over the coming weeks, covering how early design decisions and involvement can reduce cost, optimise designs and improve project outcomes.
