Builders and Project Managers
We design and manufacture frames, trusses, rafters, structural beams and related building products for the housing market, and light to medium sized commercial projects such as hospitals, retirement homes, wineries and schools. Our products and services are the back bone support to new structures, additions or redevelopment work.
We welcome involvement at any stage from concept, working drawings through to manufacture. With our extensive knowledge and experience, you can rest assured knowing that by choosing Prenail (PFT) your build will be in safe and reliable hands.
Specific Benefits to Builders and Project Managers for choosing Prenail
- Quality product on site, on time and easily assembled by the client's construction team
- Our Designers learn our repeat builder's or client's preferences and incorporate these when we design and manufacture for their projects
- Good lines of communication throughout the build
- At time of order, request from your dedicated Prenail (PFT) Timber Structural Designer an easy to understand foundation plan that will be supplied prior to your on-site set out. It will display an exact footprint for the building; after all considerations such as bracing, rebates and Building Code Compliance documents such as B1, B2 and particularly, AS1 have been considered. This ensures all contractors are working to the same dimensions and is a way of checking off the consented plans. (i.e., a secondary check before the concrete pour)
- Prompt liaison with our team to overcome site specific challenges
- Project specific technical support
- Direct service (or charged via your nominated Trade Supplier, once approved in writing)
- Take the guess work out of the really complex builds! Our qualified Designers can offer a "turn-key" solution, removing risk to the builder or home owner
- All products and services provided by Prenail (PFT) comply with all relevant building codes and current legislation and is backed by our own assurances, current Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurances that have been in place since 2001 when the business was purchased by the current owners.
Engaging Prenail (PFT)
The best place to start is to send us the appropriate set of plans to quote, along with your current contacts, or business name, and billing address. We will quote via e’mail to you, with instructions on how to place your order, outlining any further details we may require such as on the Request for Manufacture form (RQM). This is where you can outline your preferences in the way you intend to build. Ie., whether you will use thick or thin jams, indicate if you are using Gib rondo battens, your Fascia choices, and any other specific requirements unique to the build; or how you like to receive on site.
