Masterton Homes prefer MiTek BraceWall Brackets

Steve Jackman, Builder Manager with Masterton Homes, believes an Engineered Building solution is always the best solution. "In the past our chippies, like most others, have been using timber shear blocks to connect trusses to internally braced non load-bearing walls. Much of the placement was left up to the carpenter to interpret what would meet the correct codes for placement." MiTek BraceWall Brackets are simple in design, yet extremely effective at connecting the ceiling diaphragm to the top of non load-bearing walls. This enables the even distribution of lateral loads...in accordance with AS1684.

"With MiTek's BraceWall Brackets there's no worries because they come complete with printed frame layouts for every job; clearly detailing the exact placement and spacing for each and every MiTek BraceWall Bracket required," added Steve. Plan indicators are also a great tool for supervisors and inspectors as they serve as the ideal reference source; allowing the certifier a handy check list for speedy approvals.

"It's like an in-built quality control aide," said Steve. "The fact you're using an engineered building solution also gives peace-of-mind."
