Gang-Nail has recently provided its GN Roof & Truss and Ecojoist software packages to Sydenhams Timber Engineering Limited™s Isle of Wight Branch; helping the company to widen its product offering to deliver a whole house building solution.

Brought in to work alongside its existing framing software from Gang-Nail, Sydenhams is utilising Gang-Nail expert range of GN Roof & Truss and Ecojoist software solutions to deliver a total timber building solution to its customers. Easy to use, GN Roof & Truss and Ecojoist are enabling Sydenhams to create both roof truss and joist plans to meet the exact specifications of any project quickly and efficiently. The company is able to manufacture such products according to the designs, without the risk of wastage as a result of inaccurate designs.

Dean Orchard, Managing Director of Sydenhams™ Newport branch said, œWe chose Gang-Nail™s complete products and software solutions as the package offered everything we were looking for in timber frame, truss and metal web joist design. The customer training and support offered by Gang-Nail has helped us to understand the functionalities of the system making it simple to get started. In fact, we are so impressed with the capabilities of the software that we are looking to incorporate the same technology at out Salisbury office in the coming months.

Widely used in the market in the design, detailing, estimating, manufacturing and 3D visualisation of complex roof trusses, GN Roof & Truss, which is compatible with the latest Windows software, offers all the tools needed to create roof and truss layouts and designs.

Similarly, Gang-Nail Ecojoist software is used for the design and engineering of open web metal joists used in the offsite fabrication of floor and roof cassettes. Providing 3D visualisation of the complete project, or individual beams, the software can easily create comprehensive cutting lists with drawings and can be linked directly to CNC machinery to meet manufacturing requirements.

Both pieces of software are controlled through GN Matrix, also from Gang-Nail, providing a completely integrated management suite for timber engineering manufacturers.
