Repeat purchases are always a good indication of customer satisfaction. When VM Romano Construction Group decided to use SmartJoist I-Joists and SmartFrame LVL from Tilling on a second project in Essendon, they already knew they would save time and money without compromising quality.
VM Romano Construction Group is a family-run business with over 40 years experience in residential and commercial developments. But rather than rely only on the products that they know, they recognise there are new products on the market that may improve their construction or their bottom line. Working closely with their Timber Merchant - Bowens, VM Romano needed to tighten costs on a large office and apartment development in Melbourne’s north. Bowens approached Tilling for a more cost effective floor framing system and the SmartFrame Design Centre came back with a solution using SmartJoist and SmartFrame LVL.
The recently released SmartJoist I-Joists have Douglas Fir flanges giving them unsurpassed strength. The range covers a broad selection of section sizes to suit almost any job, is user-friendly and cost effective.
Jamie Bishop, the construction manager for this project couldn’t be happier with the result.
“With all the co-ordinating and on-site applications, Tilling were fantastic. SmartJoist I-Joists are so easy to work with – really easy, nice and light, and can be docked on site. And unlike open web joists, load bearing walls can go anywhere along the joist length, you don’t have to worry about what’s underneath it. ” Jamie also found the technical back-up of the SmartFrame Design Centre, the engineering and documentation invaluable.
VM Romano will be back again. |
