Suspended Timber Joist System — Illustrative diagram

Suspended Timber Joist System is a building-planning choice included in the Price Your Build estimator. It can affect structural depth, construction programme, support requirements and services coordination.

What this option means

Routes first-floor area metrics into suspended timber floor joist assemblies.

Why it affects the estimate

The estimator uses this selection to apply an appropriate allowance. Actual requirements depend on the final design, site conditions, supplier selection and contractor scope.

Before proceeding

  • Confirm spans, loading, fire/acoustic performance and the final engineered design before procurement.
  • Compare the final specification and inclusions against quotations before appointing a contractor.
