Structerre in the frame
Well-known consulting engineering firm Structerre has branched out
with a showcase for framed construction, including technical training.
The company, located in Perth’s northern suburbs for more than 35
years and well known for its innovative approach to engineering, has
embraced the challenge of the evolution of construction methods and
new construction materials which are being used and reviewed at a
progressive rate.
Structerre says that one such industry sector undergoing change
is framed construction as an alternative to traditional double brick
construction. In response, it opened Framing World at its Balcatta
head office in October, giving WA builders an opportunity to realise the
potential of framed construction.
It says Framing World is a collaborative industry response to the
market. It is headed by Structerre, due in large part to the firm’s national
presence. With offices in Queensland, NSW and Victoria, Structerre is
well-versed in framed construction and alternate construction methods.
Having already welcomed hundreds of designers, builders, trades,
developers, industry experts and the simply curious to Framing World
since its inception, Structerre CEO Gervase Purich says he always knew
it had the capacity to be of great interest to the building sector.
“Framing World is just that. It’s a world of framed construction that we
have built under our own roof, to showcase a whole range of modern
methods of construction for walls and floors, timber stick roof construction
and concrete decks,” he said. “What makes Framing World unique is that
it provides the opportunity to not just view something from a distance, but
to get the value-added experience of being able to compare, touch, stand
on, stand under and eyeball different systems comparatively.”
