For Australian carpenters (“chippies”) and builders, time is a precious resource. Whether you’re assembling timber frames, managing trades on-site, or finishing the final touches on a build, the last thing you want is to be bogged down with admin tasks like timber takeoffs. Manual methods are slow, error-prone, and often frustrating.
This is where TimberTec comes in - a tool built by Aussies, for Aussies. TimberTec simplifies timber estimation, saving you hours and ensuring every project stays on track. It’s fast, reliable, and tailored to meet Australian building standards. Let’s explore why TimberTec is the go-to solution for chippies and builders Down Under.
Why Manual Methods Are a Pain
Manual timber estimation is a time-consuming and tedious process. Builders must measure spans, calculate loads, and reference span tables—all while double-checking every number.
Time-Sucking Work
Manual takeoffs can take hours, especially for complex residential projects. Instead of being on-site overseeing the build, you’re stuck crunching numbers and checking calculations.
Prone to Errors
Even the best tradies make mistakes. A miscalculated timber length or forgotten beam can lead to over-ordering, project delays, or, worse, a structural issue.
Limited Productivity
Every hour spent on admin tasks is an hour not spent building, managing trades, or ensuring quality on-site. The longer it takes to complete estimations, the more your productivity suffers.
