Timberwright

Our Timberwright brings together the courses, references, calculators and project tools that timber construction actually needs — and it all works with the aeroplane mode on. =-TWELVE METRIC CALCULATORS-= Board volume. Log and timber volume by the Smalian method. Boards required. Roof area with rafter length and ridge run for gable, hip, shed and mansard. Wall area net of openings. Floor area. A whole-shell material estimate. Beam and joist spacing checked against both bending and deflection. Stud spacing. Decking board quantity. Waste allowance. Material cost. Every calculator shows its working: not just the answer, but the section modulus, the second moment of area, the governing limit and the assumptions behind it. Save any result to a project.!! Thirty-five lessons across five tracks: materials, structure, envelope, protection and safety. Timber frame, log and solid wood, post and beam, roof structures, floors and ceilings, walls and partitions, foundations, stairs, doors and windows, insulation, vapour control, wood protection, fire protection, mould and rot, and construction safety. Lessons come with drawn diagrams: stud wall elevations set out at real spacing, rafter sections, permitted notch and hole zones in joists, wall build-ups from cold side to warm side, stair sections, footing details and pegged mortise and tenon joints.

• WOOD AND TOOL REFERENCE Nineteen species and engineered products — pine, spruce, larch, Douglas fir, cedar, oak, ash, birch, alder, aspen, beech, hornbeam, linden, black locust, glulam, LVL, CLT and thermally modified timber — each with density, bending and compression strength, Janka hardness, shrinkage, durability class, workability, cost band, recommended uses and honest limitations. Twenty-two tools from circular saws to mortisers to moisture meters, each with what it is for, how it is used, what specification to look for and how to work with it safely. PROJECT PLANNER Track builds through nine stages from planning to final inspection. Tasks grouped by stage with hours. Site notes. A material take-off with suppliers, quantities, unit prices and a received tick. Budget against committed spend. REPORTS Cost by material category, labour logged against remaining by stage, and stage completion — all charted, with a full material table and the site log underneath. QUIZZES Sixty questions in six formats: theory, material identification, tool identification, construction sequence, safety and wood properties. Answer options are shuffled, every answer is explained, and your score history is charted. BUILT THE WAY SITE TOOLS SHOULD BE • Works completely offline — no network, ever • No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads • Everything stays on your device • Metric throughout • Light and dark mode, with a reduce-motion option • Dynamic Type and VoiceOver supported Calculator output is intended for planning and estimating. Structural members, spans and connections must be confirmed by a qualified engineer against the codes that apply on your site.
