• LendLease DesignMake are a dedicated team of specialist designers, technicians and manufacturers.

• Our aim is to make better places by driving efficiencies and quality throughout the design and construction processes which maximise the value to our clients.

• We achieve this through combining digital design and advanced manufacturing processes from our state of the art 15,000 m2 production facility in Western Sydney, NSW.

• Our customised building components can be easily assembled onsite across a vast number of building types.

• The result is a design and delivery approach that improves safety, sustainability, quality, productivity and commercial outcomes.

Introducing Lendlease DesignMake

• Better working environment for occupants

to provide productivity gains

• High profile innovative commercial

buildings

• Next generation of sustainability

performance

• Market differentiator

Key advantages

• As durable as traditional construction

forms – same design life, warranties and

performance criteria of building code

• No additional outgoings

Building Performance

4

• Carbon neutral structure

• Better thermal performance

• Zero water consumption during construction

• Indoor Environment Quality – Low VOC

• Previously awarded credit under Greenstar

• Generates virtually zero construction waste

• Enhances IEQ (dust, noise, vibration)

• Reduction in transport based emissions

• Production Waste = Fuel

Sustainability“Multiple physiological, psychological

and environmental benefits were

identified for wooden interiors:

• Improvements to a person’s emotional

state and level of self-expression.

• Reduced blood pressure, heart rate

and stress levels.

• Improved air quality through humidity

moderation.” -- Wood, Housing, Health,

• Reduced high risk work (e.g. work at

heights).

• Reduction in dust, less vibration, noise

and obstructions

• Reduced disruption on local communities

• Elimination of hotworks

• Light weight tools for connecting elements

• Minimal back propping

Engineered Timber is safer

• Simple cranage

• Hand-held tooling (cordless drills and

nail guns)

• Small carpentry and rigging crews

• Structural time savings have been up to

30%

• Services rough-in sooner

• Minimal establishment period

Speed of Construction

WOODSOLUTIONS SEP 2017

6

• Predictable performance

• 0.7mm / min.

• Sacrificial layers and / or

traditional supplementary

materials (encapsulation) can

be used.

• BCA DTS or Alternative

Solutions based design

• Controlled “by design”

• Weather separation

• Ventilation cavities

• Membrane

• Code requires timber to be

protected from termites.

• Separation.

Physical termite barriers

(chemical free)

• Annual inspection regime.

• Primarily used for commercial

floor plates

• Braced frame – central structural

core not essential

• Posts and beams in glulam, floors

in CLT

• Larger span grids (up to 9m x 9m)

• Example: Library at the Dock

Post / Beam• Refers to whole units, rooms

or pods

• Pre-constructed and fitted

out in the factory and

trucked to site for installation

• Accelerates on-site program

VolumetricPanelised• Primarily used for apartments

• Panelised platform structure

where every wall is structural

loadbearing

• All panels are CLT with very

little glulam

• Example: Forté
