As an essential aspect of creating
and maintaining standards in the
engineered timber construction
sector, the ITC-SA Awards
endeavour not only to recognise
and reward excellent workmanship
in the industry, but to inspire the
same commitment to excellence
among the institute’s membership
and the industry at large, says
Jenni de Waal, ITC-SA senior
office manager.
“This year’s event produced yet
more exceptional timber
construction projects of which we
can all be proud and highlight just
how workable timber can be in the
decking, roofing and building
trades,” she notes.
“We wish to thank everyone who
entered this year and extend our
congratulations to the worthy
winners and all who made their
projects successful. We also wish to
extend our hearty thanks to
Katlego Maboe, SABC 3 Expresso
Breakfast Show host, who was the
master of ceremonies – and master
entertainer – for the event, and our
generous sponsors who helped to
make this year’s awards possible,”
says De Waal.
AND THE ROOFING WINNERS ARE…
GOLD AWARD:
Bosazza Roofing for House Rumble
Architect: Lara Wilson McDade, LYT Architecture
Fabricator: Inyathi Truss
Engineer: Richard Bailey
About: House Rumble’s brief was to erect and install
1 079m 2 of roofing onto the main house and summer
kitchen of this residential property, including three
feature areas with exposed trusses, installation of
internal ceilings, veranda and eave ceilings, custom steel
and timber balustrades and posts, as well as the
construction of two pergolas. The brief required marrying
the three contrasting aesthetic elements of the home
design – mortar, timber and steel – with a strong focus on
elegance, symmetry and fine quality finishes.
SILVER AWARD:
Elegant Roofing for
Cheré Botha School
Architect: Heinrich Wolff,
Wolff Architects
Engineer: Mattie
Oosthuizen
About: The unique design
of the exposed timber roof
trusses for the Cheré Botha
School adds a richness to
the overall aesthetic and
plenty of room for natural
light to enter this
educational building.
BRONZE AWARD:
LCP Roofing for House Niewoudt
Timber roof truss designer: Andri Pretorius
Engineer: Errol Hobden
About: The brief was to build trusses with
very large, heavy, rough sawn timber beams,
design a raised tie-beam and install a timber
slatted ceiling on top of the trusses. It took
14 men to carry the handcrafted trusses,
which had to be handled with special care,
and the pine slatted ceiling was carefully
nailed from top to bottom as the tiling was
completed. The room is now a magical
space with the décor and roofing in
complementary interplay.
