With timber shortages due to supply chain issues and with
the costs of it increasing, it is now more important than ever to maximise the
use of timber. So how can we best help prefabricators and housebuilders do just
that?
Implementing and using the right software
It is very important to implement and have the right
software in place that will help you get the most out of your timber,
especially during this difficult time within our industry. ITW Construction
Products Offsite’s Gang-Nail Matrix Software helps prefabricators and
housebuilders optimise the use of timber. With the timber optimiser feature,
prefabricators can now calculate how to best utilise the timber within their
stock for roof and truss designs at the click of a button.
This feature within the Gang-Nail Matrix software analyses
your timber stock and calculates how to best utilise it for roof and truss
design jobs. Once you’ve run the calculations, the software will produce a document
that encompasses a pick list of what length of timber to use for the required
job.
Minimise wastage
While we’re experiencing timber shortages within the industry,
there is also a big focus on sustainability and greener building methods for
both prefabricators and housebuilders. Using software that can help you build
in a more sustainable way will in turn also help you to get the most out of
your timber stock.
Timber optimiser helps prefabricators and housebuilders meet
their sustainability targets by minimising timber wastage and making more
efficient use of materials within their supply chain. This feature not only
supports with sustainable building methods and puts prefabricators in a better
position within this climate, but it also helps save on costs.
Analyse trends and save on materials
Now that we’ve spoken about how the timber optimiser works
within Gang-Nail Matrix software and how it can help with sustainability
targets, let’s talk about how you can analyse trends using this feature. For
your roof and truss design jobs, the timber optimiser calculates what length of
timber within your stock is needed for the required design jobs. With this
feature, prefabricators can analyse trends and identify what lengths of timber
is most needed and used within their stock. This can help businesses distinguish
what length of timber they should and should not invest in, which helps with material
savings.
