Mid-rise Residential
|
SBM specializes in the structural design of Mid-rise residential buildings ranging from one to six levels. Effective January 1-2015, the Ontario Building Code will permit the construction of 5 and 6 Storey wood buildings.
SBM has developed a proprietary design program called SX•N•W D ver 1.3. The program takes into account the following parameters in its design
In conjunction with the structural design, the program optimizes the selection of all shear wall panels based on material and labor costs. The program selects the least expensive wall type and analyzes the wall under all design considerations, if the wall fails, the next least expensive wall is selected and the process begins again. This iterative process allows for the most cost effective structure while achieving optimal structural performance. With the advent of improved building materials, design software and skilled trades, mutli level wood framed buildings are becoming of one of the most cost effective building alternatives to both developers and architects. We have completed numerous projects across the province and have highlighted a few recent projects that reflect our work. |

"Mike and the team at Strik Baldinelli Moniz took a pragmatic approach to our 6 storey wood project in Hamilton. Their ability to balance the project budget, with functionality and design is second to none, we would highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on future projects..." |
