🧱 Joistwork Installation – Strength, Precision, and Structural Confidence
At DSN+BD Construction, we know that great architecture needs great engineering behind it. That’s why every element — from the footings to the roofline — is carefully considered and expertly executed. Our latest joistwork installation is a brilliant example of how structure and strategy come together to support a home that’s built to last.
This phase of the project involved the installation of FinnFrame I-Joists, delivering high strength, long spans, and reliable performance — all custom-specified by our structural engineer.
🔧 What We Installed – Engineered to Perform
We’re using 53mm x 300mm FinnFrame I-Joists, designed specifically for this project to carry the wide span and heavy load of the roof structure. These engineered timber joists offer:
💪 Excellent load-bearing capacity
📏 Consistent, straight dimensions for accurate installation
🌲 Lightweight yet strong construction, making them easy to handle and secure
🧱 Superior span performance compared to traditional solid timber joists
They’ve been precisely calculated and specified by our structural engineer to ensure safe, long-lasting support for the entire roof system.
🛠️ Installed with Strength and Detail
It’s not just about what you use — it’s how you install it. We’ve made sure every joist is installed to perfection, with solid bearing and smart fixings:
🔩 At the rear of the building, joists are anchored with Simpson Strong-Tie Masonry Joist Hangers for absolute strength and stability
🪵 At the front, joists rest neatly on a timber wall plate, which is firmly fixed to a frame of interconnected timber studs to spread the load evenly
📐 Everything has been checked for level, alignment, and spacing — ready for the next stage of the build
This structural detail is a crucial step, setting the stage for the walls, roof, and finishes to follow with total confidence.
🧠 Structural Precision Meets Design Intent
Because DSN+BD is a design-led design and build company, we ensure structural solutions don’t just work — they work in harmony with the architectural design.
That means:
Clear headroom maintained
No awkward junctions or boxed-in beams
Integrated service runs accounted for
A seamless flow from shell to finish
The result? A structure that’s efficient, tidy, and built to perform, ready to carry loads, support detailing, and deliver long-term peace of mind.
🏡 A Strong Base for a Beautiful Home
With the FinnFrame I-Joists now expertly installed, this home has a solid backbone in place — literally. It’s a reminder that behind every clean line and quiet ceiling is a framework of smart, deliberate craftsmanship.
At DSN+BD, we build this kind of care into every layer.
