Do you remember the incredible timber wharf piles that were uncovered recently during works at the Waterfront Brisbane project? The AHS team has been busy analysing the heritage piles and this is what we know so far... Historical mapping indicates that some of the southernmost piles may date back as early as the c. 1860s Australasia Steam Navigation Company (A.S.N) wharf. While it’s unclear how many earlier piles were replaced, the uncovered piles – including those removed – likely date back to somewhere between the 1860s to 1890s, with most of them likely being from the 1891 Norman Wharf. What hints gave it away? Well, of the four piles salvaged, two have cut timber points with cast iron shoes, while the other two have cut timber points without cast iron shoes. These differences likely demonstrate timber piles from different periods throughout this 1860s to 1890s timeframe. #heritage #australianheritage #builtheritage #queenslandheritage #AHS

In recent years, Cornwall has experienced a remarkable surge in property refurbishments, fuelling what can only be described as a renovation boom. 💥 This phenomenon can be attributed to a variety of factors such as increased demand for holiday homes, rising property prices, and a desire to preserve Cornwall's historic buildings. As a result, the role of joinery has become more important than ever in bridging the gap between preservation and modernisation. 🔨 Visit our website to read more of this blog. #CJohnson #CarpentryAndJoinery #Carpentry #MadeToOrder #Joinery #Renovation #Blog

After what feels like a very long winter, Spring is finally here. Lighter days, warmer weather and the sound of bird songs has made us look back fondly at a Marina project in the most stunning setting – the banks of the Hamble Estuary. Nesting birds within an estuary means that there is a very limited window of opportunity for a project to be built, and for Hamble Yacht Services, Environmental Officers and the Local Authority were keen that the process should be a short as possible and at just the right time. Modulek Operations Director Brian Pester talks about how modular construction can provide a solution to these very short windows of opportunity and Director at Hamble Yacht Services Tim Yetman explains how this enabled the build to go ahead on such an environmentally sensitive site. Watch our video to see how we tackled environmental challenges and used modular construction to bring this project to life on the scenic Hamble Estuary.
