At Wesbeam, we deeply value collaborations that drive innovation, sustainability, and quality in construction. Our partnership with Maple Living, renowned for modern, sustainable, and community-focused townhomes, demonstrates these core values.
Maple Living specialises in designing and building townhouses on challenging narrow or infill sites, combining thoughtful design, practicality, and sustainability. Wesbeam’s engineered wood products (EWP’s) and Design and Engineering team are designed to handle such complex conditions, and as such made the partnership highly effective and mutually beneficial.
Why The Partnership Works
The effective collaboration between Wesbeam and Maple Living thrives on these core strengths:
1. Product Alignment
"We consistently need floor systems designed to address constraints such as limited space, stringent privacy requirements, and challenging regulatory frameworks," explains Simon Giramondo, Construction Manager at Maple Living. "Wesbeam’s LVL and LVL I-joists directly meet these needs, providing exceptional durability, efficiency, and enhanced overall performance."
2. Expert Technical Support
“Our dedicated Wesbeam Design Centre & Engineering team supports Maple Living through every construction phase,” notes Tom Rickerby, Wesbeam’s Technical Manager.
“By Wesbeam providing detailed, tailored design advice, high-quality products, and practical solutions has simplified our workflow, enhanced efficiency, and significantly reduced project timelines and costs.” Says Simon.
3. Mutual Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
“Working with Wesbeam has allowed us to simplify on-site processes, significantly reduce waste, and optimise overall costs,” shares Maple Living. “The lightweight, easy-to-install nature of Wesbeam’s floor systems has helped minimise transport challenges and installation complexities, directly contributing to our ability to deliver high-quality, sustainable, and cost-effective townhomes.”
4. Commitment to Sustainability and Quality
“Sustainability and quality are core to both companies,” adds Tom. “Maple Living’s decision to integrate our engineered floor systems into their standard practices highlights our aligned values and shared vision for sustainability, innovation, and quality control.”
Looking Ahead
The partnership between Wesbeam and Maple Living is built on mutual respect, shared industry insights, and an unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Maple Living's forward-thinking approach in adopting Wesbeam's products as standard practice demonstrates the strength and potential of strategic partnerships in today’s competitive building environment.
“At Maple Living, we look forward to continuing and expanding our collaboration with Wesbeam,” adds Simon.
