Each project submission had to include a technical written submission accompanied by high quality images clearly showing both the aesthetic and technical features of the project from commencement to completion. The project description had to include details about the site location, accessibility, the surrounding environment and soil conditions, project timeline, complexity, budget adherence and any unique challenges proffered by the build.
Projects submitted in the timber frame building categories had to address the entire structure with specific reference to elements like the foundations, slabs, footings, post beams and bracing, tie downs to the frames and roof structure, bracing or sheathing, noggins (fire stops), placement of service wire and pipes, types of service pipes and conduits as well as the braced roof structure prior to covering.
“As an essential aspect of creating and maintaining standards in the engineered timber construction sector, the ITC-SA’s Annual Timber Engineered Product Awards endeavour not only to recognise and reward excellent workmanship in the industry, but to inspire the same commitment to excellence among our membership and the industry at large,” remarks Jenni de Waal, ITC-SA senior office manager. “This year’s awards event produced yet more exceptional timber construction projects of which we can all be proud and highlighted just how workable timber can be in the decking, roofing and building trades,” she notes.
