Gain Confidence in Structural Design and Drafting for Timber Residential Projects

Have you ever been on a timber residential construction site?


Do you know how things are done here in Australia when it comes to timber residential projects?

If you’re a structural engineer or architect, you’ve probably wondered how confident you’d feel talking to a builder on-site or walking into a meeting with architects and builders to discuss the technical details of a project.

These are the situations that can impact your career progress in the field.

Many structural engineers, especially those with little or no local experience, hesitate when it comes to attending technical meetings or answering phone calls from builders. And it’s not because they aren’t skilled. It’s because they don’t feel confident about their construction knowledge, particularly when it comes to timber residential projects in Australia.

Can you relate to this?

Confidence in these situations is exactly what employers and recruiters are looking for. They want professionals who can confidently deliver designs that consider on-site challenges, confidently engage in discussions with builders, and make informed decisions.

But how can you be confident in providing practical and cost-effective residential designs without a solid understanding of construction methods and challenges?

That’s why it’s crucial to visualise real-life timber structure buildings, visualise the key structural elements in timber construction, and understand the construction methods used here in Australia to consider all these in your structural designs.

This is where our structural engineering courses come in. At LearnPedia, our structural engineering training programs focus specifically on giving you the hands-on experience you need. We tie theory to the practical field by using real-life timber residential projects in our training program, all while designing & drafting the projects, from start to end, step by step, based on Australian Standards and Codes.

In our training programs:
  • You’ll visualise real timber residential buildings through our training videos,
  • Learn to use common software packages such as Structural Toolkit, SpaceGASS, and AutoCAD in designing and drafting real-life residential projects, from roof elements, frame elements, bracing systems, connection details all the way to the footing design and detailing and
  • Gain the confidence you need to face the challenges you’ll encounter in the design and construction field.
