Time to train 2014 enters the second half and most are finally experiencing a much more optimistic outlook. Terms like "lead time" and "labour shortage" had almost become forgotten terms but they are starting to be bantered about once again. More and more advertisements for trades people are appearing in local papers and on employment websites.

With workloads increasing, the other labour opportunity that shouldn't be overlooked is training an apprentice. The myth that an apprentice is a burden or cost to your business is a fallacy. The correct apprentice will be a complete asset to your business and ensures the future of our industry. With workloads predicted to continue increasing there is no better time to take on a trainee.

As winter takes its grip across the country, many pack their bags for a well deserved weekend at the 2014 Master Joiners conference. This year the annual conference is in the "Naki" and is sure to be a another great event. A time to catch up with peers, pick up a few tips, relax and enjoy some of the region's great hospitality.

One of the highlights is sure to be the Awards Dinner on Saturday where the amazing work our industry has produced over the past year is showcased. Every year the amazing entries are inspiring and prove what a fantastic trade we are part of.

The Master Joiners Awards evening also includes the 2014 apprentice awards which illustrates the industries trainees and their work from the past year. Each year our apprentices do some amazing work and this is a great opportunity to show this off and celebrate these developing future masters.

To all that are attending this years conference I look forward to catching up and to all those members that haven't registered this year or haven't attended a master joiners conference I urge you to make sure you are in the capital next year.

BIESSEiNSIDE Over 300 visitors and 200 customers visited the BIESSEiNSIDE event at Biesse’s Sydney showroom in late March to view the latest technology from Biesse in operation and receive technical advice from experts from Italy, the USA and Australia.

The event highlighted Biesse and Intermac machinery used in the processing of wood, stone and glass with a wide range of seminars held daily with topics spanning from the advantages of beam saw production to screen to machine 3D solutions all proving popular with clients. The event was supported by a number of well known industry business exhibitors and Intermac partners from across the software, extraction, board and finance sectors providing the opportunity for a one stop consultation for prospective machinery purchases.

“I was thrilled to be able to showcase the latest technology from Biesse at our 2014 BIESSEiNSIDE event,” said Biesse Oceania CEO, Luke Tenaglia. “It was the world’s first glimpse of Biesse’s fastest nesting solution, the Rover BG FT. With an automatic loading and unloading facility, an automatic labeling system, its own fully operational software and a very flexible fit out configuration this machine attracted a lot of attention. The Master Series CNC Machining Centres were another highlight and demonstrate just how easy and affordable it is to diversify into stone benchtop production.”

A traditional Italian feast was hosted by the company providing a great opportunity for participants to socialize and network. “Our VIP dinner was a great success and opportunity for our customers, suppliers and industry partners to meet and mingle and enjoy the night.” 

From The Publisher

Interesting Times Ahead There are a couple of exciting events happening over the next few months with the Annual Master Joiners Conference in New Plymouth in mid June and the AWISA Exhibition in Brisbane in early August. Both these events come at a time of greater economic activity here in New Zealand. For Master Joiners it’s their annual get together and thanks must go to those companies who have sponsored this event: it doesn’t fly without them. It really is an enjoyable event for those who attend.

For the wider trade audience there is a chance to see the latest in a wide variety of relevant technologies at the AWISA event in Brisbane. This new growth phase we are seeing here will be very dependent on profitability based on quality produced with speed and efficiency, perhaps even new ways of manufacturing. Brisbane will be a nice place in early August, perhaps a time to tack on a holiday in a warm place?

We have a look at beamsaws in the workplace in this issue. The level of sophistication these days is quite stunning.

Aimed primarily at larger operations, beamsaws have a distinct role to play in the manufacturing process. Talking of machinery, another change has taken place as well: it is with some sadness that we see Australian based Gabbett Machinery leave our shores after some twelve years of operation here. The SCM agency they had here in New Zealand has now been taken up by Machines R Us. We have more information on this in our news section.

For those in the kitchen manufacturing sector we have our popular feature on benchtops and sinks in this issue. While granite and engineered stone lead the way there are many other surface materials available today to the discerning buyer.

Sink inserts also continue to amaze with the huge variety in size and styles.

Of particular interest to me (since I wrote the story!) is the article on the Interior Innovation winner at this year’s NZ Timber Design Awards: The Milse Restaurant from Cheshire Architects. The design excellence is matched only by the manufacturing skills combining old ideas with new technology. Worth a gander I think. On a broader note we have more in the way of new products in this issue to catch your eye as well as things you can see at the AWISA Exhibition. Our September issue will have a full review of this show with what is the latest and greatest along with the new trends in manufacturing. In the meantime stay warm and read on.

A Weinmann panelised factory.

Panelised homes Machines R US expand into SCM sales and service New Zealand is in a unique situation at the moment, with a growing economy and significant opportunities for the manufacturing industry. More specifically the machinery industry is experiencing an upturn as companies look to automate their processes and speed up production.

To take advantage of this SCM have partnered with Machines R Us as their agent throughout New Zealand. Previously supplied by Gabbett machinery, the SCM group remains as one of the most popular brands in the NZ market.

‘SCM’s decision to work with Machines R US was a simple one’ explained Barry Gabbett ‘John Fleet and Machines R Us are a dedicated, locally owned company.

We don’t believe an Australian based company, or internationally based company for that matter, can effectively service the requirements of the NZ market’

An exciting new venture in prefabrication was recently launched in Christchurch. Two of the largest building companies, Mike Greer Homes and Spanbild Holdings, announced a joint venture to build New Zealand's first big panelised building factory. The planned 5000m2 factory will have the capacity to produce 1000 homes a year and is to be fitted with specialist equipment from German company Weinmann, part of the Homag Group.

Walls, floors and roof panels are constructed in the factory with insulation, cabling, plumbing and plastering included. A truck delivers panels to site and a crane assists in rapid assembly.

Build time is expected to reduce from 20 weeks to 12 weeks.

"We expect the market to widely embrace any approach that will improve quality, reduce build time and provide buildings at a fair price,” said Mike Greer. The new factory could produce houses, classrooms and right up to architecturally designed residential and commercial buildings. 

3D sponsorship ...

Barry went on to say ‘We have always taken a service based approach to supplying machinery, which is one that has held us in good stead for many years. John Fleet takes the same approach, which is why this is a great fit’ Machines R Us take over the Sales, service, maintenance, spare parts and warranty work on all Gabbett machinery’s products. With this partnership Machines R US move one step closer to bringing you a stronger, service based machinery company.

For new machine sales, spare parts and service please contact Machines R Us.

the lavish ceremony took place in the Great Room at The Langham in Auckland. The theme, “In Love with Response”, was clearly demonstrated throughout the night with some stunning examples of data-driven, measurable marketing.

“We are over the moon about winning bronze. Not only is it great to be recognised alongside some of New Zealand’s biggest brands, but it’s a programme that we are extremely proud of.” says Jared Dinneen, National Marketing Manager. “It’s a great achievement especially when we are sharing the stage with companies such as Samsung, Farmers, BP Oil New Zeland and Westpac who were also winners on the night.

I’ve had to totally re-think my column for this issue. I had penned comment on the economy and feedback on our customer survey but then I received some very good news …

We are the first company in Australasia to have a product (Strandfloor®) to earn a prestigious ‘Red List Free’ label in the Declare database which lists products that have reached a stringent standard for transparency of ingredients and ecofriendliness. The Declare database is a platform of the Living Building Challenge, one of the building industry’s most rigorous and ambitious performance standards. The database is intended not only for industry-leading designers who are creating the world's most sustainable buildings, but also for anyone interested in using high-quality products to create healthy spaces - residential or commercial. It’s something that I believe is going to become more and more important in this industry in the coming years so I’m very proud that Laminex New Zealand is leading the way in this important area.

We never would have thought to try and get this label if it wasn’t for the encouragement from people at AUT and Jasmax who were already keen advocates of Strandfloor® and its exceptional green credentials. And we are truly appreciative of their support as it’s given us the confidence to apply for more Declare labels for our products – watch this space for developments.

Anyway, back to my thoughts on the economy…

Further to articles in the press over the last few months about the New Zealand economy being on the cusp of a five year boom and that business confidence is high, I believe that this is starting to play out in the real economy.

Housing consents are increasing rapidly, and more of the Christchurch commercial work now seems to be getting underway. That is good for all of us and it is important that we all work to ensure New Zealand businesses are well placed to have labour and materials in place to take maximum advantage of these favourable conditions.

In my last column I spoke about a customer survey that Laminex New Zealand was conducting. The results have been very encouraging from a relationship perspective and feedback on what the industry expects of us in terms of product offer and service is shaping our view of how we can support the industry, and improve our market offer.

The question every business should ask itself regularly is what are the things we do really well? And what areas we should focus on to stop, change or start doing!

Laminex New Zealand is the first company in Australasia to have a product listed in the Declare database. The database is a platform of the Living Building Challenge, one of the building industry’s most rigorous and ambitious performance standards.

Considered the 'nutrition label' for the industry, and widely accepted as the most advanced green building standard in the world, the Declare label offers unprecedented transparency into the ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing of labelled products.

Strandboard ® has earned the highest possible Declare label – ‘Red List Free’. The ‘Red List Free’ label means that the product is completely free of Red List materials which builders may not use if construction is to meet the criteria of the Living Building Challenge. Living Building Challenge’s list of red list materials and chemicals includes ingredients such as asbestos, formaldehyde (added), and wood treatments such as creosote, arsenic or pentachlorophenol.

Strandfloor ® is a high density reconstituted wood panel, bonded with moisture resistant resin and wax, specifically formulated for use as residential and commercial interior floor platforms. Strandboard®, which is manufactured in New Zealand, has unrivaled environmental credentials using only a fraction of the energy and carbon emitted in producing a concrete floor.

"Laminex NZ is blazing a new path as Australasia’s first company to disclose all its ingredients for a product using our Declare protocol,” said Jason McLennan, CEO of the International Living Future Institute and founder of the Living Building Challenge. “This is real leadership towards a safer future where we know what's in our products.”

“We are extremely proud to be leading the field in Australasia when it comes to being transparent

In Christchurch, and with over twenty years of mechanical and engineering experience William Vermaak adds much needed capacity to our South Island team.

Interior Innovation Award

MILSE Britomart, Auckland Cheshire Architects

Imagination + Technology brings old art form to life NZ Wood Resene Timber Design Awards 2014 *

T

he revamped version of these Awards were held in March of this year and included the addition of a couple of new awards. Of particular interest was the new Interior Innovation Award given ‘for the innovative use of wood or a wood panel product as a signature feature, in a predominantly wood building, adding ambience, flair and practicality.’

The inaugural winner was Cheshire Architects for their design of the Milse Dessert Restaurant in the Britomart precinct of downtown Auckland. As the judges said ‘An astonishingly beautiful restaurant completely shaped by digitally designed and cut keruing plywood panels. The innovation

comes from using a simple contemporary material which has been transformed through the use of advanced technology.’

The inspiration for the interior design of this restaurant dates back to the 7th Century. In Islamic or Islamic influenced architecture an oriel or second story window was characterised by lattice work known as moucharaby. It became common in residences in cities found in North Africa and the Middle East. In France, where it was introduced from colonial sources, it is known as moucharabieh. The windows are characterised by the use of grills or lattices to replace glass and shutters. These often delicate

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 20

and beautifully designed lattices offered the interior with light and air as it shades it from the heat of the sun while allowing those within to discreetly observe the street below while maintaining the privacy of the domestic space.

Although not on a second story, it is this very look that distinguishes the Milse Dessert Restaurant and contributes greatly to it being an award winning project.

Nat Cheshire from Cheshire Architects explains their approach “The brief was to have on the same site a large commercial production kitchen, a retail store, a dining space offering a singular richness and intensity of experience, and a lane front bar serving the greater

Britomart area. All but the bar were to be in the service of the best in dessert cooking in the country.

The plan for the restaurant was to bend the public spaces through the room with the aim of denying a vantage of the whole room from any one point, tempting discovery by creating the illusion that it is bigger than it really is.”

In this ‘tiny bent volume’ Cheshire set out to offer a diversity of experience through the manipulation of a single element rather than a profusion of many.

“We then pursued the infusion of that element with a focused complexity that we hoped would live up to the cooking.”

The cave like intensity of the interior is matched by the sugar crystal inspired patterns of wooden moucharaby panels. As Nat points out this project looks complex because it is. The manufacturing of the componentry let alone its installation is quite awesome: some 1100 individually made 300mm by 300mm by 300mm triangles were created to order.

The geometries of the moucharaby net that forms the ceiling were mathematically programmed with bespoke parametric systems assembled using the Grasshopper programme plugged into Rhino design software set up by Cheshire Architects for this job. The CAD files were then sent to Greenmount Manufacturing Ltd in Auckland’s East Tamaki who carried out the entire shop fitout.

The real challenge here lay in the logistics. Greenmount’s Graham Russell comments “Having the programmed information from the architects and breaking it down to then physically produce the components on our 5 axis CNC router was at the heart of the project. With each step there needed to be continual invention of fabrication solutions between the architects and ourselves.” The project involved three CAD staff at Greenmount over a three month period in late 2012 The wood used was some 221 square metres of 12mm Keruing 5 layer plywood, a dense (up to 950 kg/m3 unseasoned) richly brown coloured wood from SE Asia.

Nat comments “This Keruing was ideal: a good brown colour offering warmth and delicacy, hard and waterproof, making it great for easy fabrication and it is self finishing.”

Greenmount has a selection of eight CNC machines and chose to use their SCM 5 axis machine for this job due to the complexity and uniqueness of shape and the angles required on the edges of the panels. The role of this 5 axis machine was pivotal to this project as no two components were the same with each triangle having different angled edges that had to match the adjacent pieces. To hold them together some 3700 butt hinges were used: 1500 zinc plated and 2200 florentine bronze

coated. See through was effected by changing the dilation of the perforations that make up each piece. By varying these patterns the single timber element could be both wall, shutter, ceiling and light fitting all at once. Each piece needed to be fitted in and attached to each other in sets of circular sixes all angled according to the design from Cheshire that aimed to produce the cave like appearance (see side view drawing).

A nicety was the fact that the wooden elements all needed to be appropriately fire rated as well. Each piece was cut and processed at Greenmount they were given two coatings, one coat of CAP Intumescent Base Coat and the other an industrial top coat of waterbased fire retardant (CAP 827) using airless spray equipment. The triangles were then assembled into manageable subsections in the factory and installed onsite over a period of three weeks.

Until the last moment this site was to be a rubbish holding area for the precinct scheduled for demolition in five years, a small, improvised footprint of only some 85 square metres, but the combination of architectural imagination and sophisticated technology sees a simple wood used to create such complexity: you need to be there, sit in it to ultimately appreciate the end result. 

LEGRABOX

Highlighting the biggest design trend for 2014. Sleek, elegant islands, with minimal detailing, in dark, matt finishes, enhanced with warm timber tones often by way of a dropped down or raised timber surface for seating. Beautiful timber inserts for the new premium Blum drawer system LEGRABOX, when used in conjunction with the matt black drawer this system is right on trend.

Blum at EuroCucina At EuroCucina in Milan for 2014, we saw some distinct shifts and changes in design. Colours and materials being used in cabinet and benchtop surfaces have undergone quite a shift. The lighter coloured, high gloss and minimalist look had been replaced by Black and Charcoal matt finished cabinets, mixed with warmer toned timbers and veneers, a combination that dominated the show.

Surface materials were minimal in colour, but heavy in texture with very realistic artificial wood grain and stone patterned surfaces.

Detailing was refined, usually mitered and simplistic. Islands (where timber was incorporated) generally had more of a furniture look and feel. The timber bench surfaces were either raised or lowered to create two different working heights. Stainless steel was also used as an alternative to timber, but usually always in conjunction with a darker benchtop surface in stone or laminate.

Blum’s new LEGRABOX drawer and its AMBIA-LINE drawer organisation paralleled the design trends seen in Milan, and provides a classic and timeless, yet modern look. LEGRABOX will be available in several different colours, with a new matt finishes and a new antifinger print coating for stainless steel. The impressively slim drawer sides are a sleek 12.8mm in width and are straight on the inside and out and the new running system is like no other.

Mark Seth co-owner of Kitchen Systems in Onehunga has been purchasing sink inserts on behalf of his clients from Totara Marketing for sometime.

“We buy quite a lot of sinks off Totara Marketing and find them very good value for money, we like the fact that they are hand folded and welded rather than pressed which means they are of good consistent quality with good straight lines - great value for money for our customers.”

The Project Square series has been developed for the designer kitchen with modern square lines. “We have seen a trend towards square sinks over the last year or two,” says Robyn.

“They achieve a nice solid streamlined look in the kitchen which is finding favour with designers and clients at the moment. Their tight radius corners give greater capacity, allowing for bigger dishes while remaining easy to clean.”

The Project Square range is designed for under mounting and flush mounting the bowls are constructed from type 304 18/10 stainless steel and are 1.2mm gauge. They also carry a life time warranty on the stainless steel.

What the clients say

“Their range offers very good value for money and I have no hesitation in recommending them to and using them for my clients. They also have a slim range, which are not always available from others, which I find very useful in renovations with small spaces. On top of that the Totara Marketing after sales services is exceptional and in Robyn Heffernan they have someone who does what she says she will do.”

Acrylic Solid Surface

VENEERS & LAMINATES NaturaStone® is one of the more cost effective engineered stone products on the market, certainly it is priced well amongst its competitors, but the real savings come in its ease of fabrication and light weight ensuring significant saving in labour and freight costs.

JOINERS Magazine spoke to distributor GVP’s Business Development Manager, Phil Attwell, about the advantages of the 6.5mm product over its thicker competitors.

NaturaStone is an Australian manufactured engineered stone which has been on the market for about six years. West Auckland based GVP picked up the NZ distribution rights late last year and have since seen it well accepted by a number of fabricators and kitchen manufacturers around the country.

Phil Attwell who has been involved with various engineered stone and solid surface products over the years says there are good reasons for its acceptance based on the products machining characteristics, light weight, and associated ease of handling and fabrication.

“Its light weight means it is suitable for a range of horizontal and vertical applications from benchtops to shower trays to lift linings.

A single sheet weighs just 58 kilos, 5-6 times lighter than 20 or 30mm product, this means it needs less superstructure to support itself, is easy to handle and is a lot cheaper to freight.

It also means it is easier to fabricate. Anyone who is currently doing there own laminate or solid surface benchtops will find they can handle the NaturaStone fabrication system says Phil. This can be very appealing to kitchen manufacturers in more remote areas such as Gisborne where manufacturing costs can escalate especially when one takes into account fabricator travel as well as product freight costs.

The manufacturing process itself also differs from competing products. “NaturaStone is extruded,” says Phil. “This has some important advantages when fabricating and working the product. The extrusion process happens at very high heat which vents any air in the mix, so the finished panel contains no bubbles making it non porous, stable and very dense with exactly the same consistency all the way through.”

This means unlike some engineered stone heavier elements don’t tend to sink to the bottom making it is easier to cut, edge and polish, all factors which flow through to better and more competitive quotes “The consistency of the product makes it very easy to process and it doesn’t chip meaning joins need no filling and therefore less work

is required to hide edges, also the consistency of colour through the sheet means joins are virtually invisible and any scratches while in use are less noticeable.”

Once the product is extruded it goes through an annealing process which again assists fabrication. The annealing process takes all the tension out of the sheet meaning no twisting issues, the sheets come out perfectly flat and and then sit perfectly on the substrate without any requirements for pressing.

PLYWOOD PANELS

NaturaStone is also capable of being postformed which means less wastage when curved work is required.

“This is a great product,” says Phil. “It is versatile in use, easy to handle and fabricate,very durable and looks beautiful as a finished product. Also because it is manufactured in Australia we don’t have the lag times often associated with European product and any colours which we don’t hold in stock can be quickly sourced.”

Sage Doors laseredge the virtually invisible edging

THE ULTIMATE HIGH GLOSS FINISH

Sage Doors have been using their new Laseredge to create doors with a superior edging which has outstanding qualities when compared with traditional clashing options.

Virtually Seamless Sage Doors uses a new generation Polypropylene 1mm thick edge tape, MKT Alpha-Tape® PP laser edging, which features a special functional layer, co-extruded with the tape when it is manufactured, eliminating the need for any bonding agents such as glue. This functional layer is melted at high temperatures, directly bonding it to the panel.

Thanks to the colour matching between the panel, the functional layer and the outer layer, MKT Alpha-Tape® PP laser edging provides a virtually invisible, homogeneous and seamless transition between the face and edge of your panel.

Colourfast MKT Alpha-Tape® PP laser edging is much more colourfast than regular old generation edge tape. The ‘Blue Wool Scale’ is a test in which researchers take two identical samples, one of which is placed in the dark as a control, and the other is placed in the equivalent of years of sunlight for a three-month period. A standard Blue Wool Test Card is also placed under the same light conditions as the test sample. The amount of fading of the sample is then evaluated by comparing it to the original sample. A rating between 0 and 8 is given to each of the samples in the test. Zero means it has very poor colourfastness, while a rating of eight means it is considered colourfast. Our edging is classified as being above 8, meaning that your nice white edging will stay white and will not discolour over years of use.

Extra-Wide Edging We have recently purchased more extra-wide edging, meaning that we can now offer panels up to 60mm thick. This thickness makes very trendy slab ends for use under benchtops.

Panels like these are also ideal for use as shop counters and office desktops. These panels look like a solid block with our laser edging as there is no bond line. We can currently offer these panels in the following colours: Arctic White, Feather White, Mist, Bullet and Acrygloss White.

Beam saw technology

HOLZMA

a history of innovation

Holzma is the world's largest manufacturer of panel-sizing beam saws and systems. For over 40 years these machines have been providing tight tolerance cutting of virtually all types of panel material.

Holzma was established in the late 1960s with the help of just two employees, in a rented garage near Calw in Germany’s Black Forest, and was initially involved in cutting solid wood. Then in 1971 the company supplied a machine for cutting strips to England which included a fully-automatic destacking system for the cut books, from there Holzma expanded its export focus quickly and successfully. In 1987 Holzma became part of the Homag Group and today as well as their main manufacturing facilities Germany they also produce models for specific regional markets in Brazil, China and Spain.

Holzma offer saws in sizes ranging from S to XXL – and the modular system allows each one to be tailored to requirements, often with an option of retrofitting.

This allows the saw to be adapted in line with growing operational requirements.

An important trend for Holzma is system solutions revolving around the saw, from feeding the saw and cutting the panel right through to destacking, onward transport and structured processing at downstream stations. The benefits are clear: intelligently linked machines ensure efficient workflows, provide wellstructured processes, reduce waste and improve workplace ergonomics.

• Labels applied after the cut. The most cost effective solution this uses a printer adjacent to the machine controller, and where necessary a screen can guide the operator where labels should be applied.

The result: optimised handling due to clear parts allocation; simplified, accelerated production processes; automated parts tracking.

DustEx A new combination, air jets along the cutting line transport dust and chips specifically towards the rightangled fence – while also retaining their cushioning function for gentle material handling. The extraction at the right-angled fence has been further improved, and a front and rear dust trap curtain rounds off the dustEx package. This means that dust cuts – the REAL test of any extraction system – no longer need to be feared.

Holzma’s innovative Beamsaw technology includes

Destacking concept With the destacking concept the operator is guided through the entire destacking process. The concept includes an intuitive software solution, including the creation of labels for identification of the destacking location and position on the pallet, as well as matching hardware components, such as the loading and destacking aid, the new parts buffer, the swivelling manual printer and "HuGo" – the popular pallet truck with automatic height control.

Labelling systems As part of their flexible options Holzma offer three main types of labelling for parts.

• An overhead printer for labelling before parts are cut.

As well as making use of downtime while the next panel is being loaded this also means all panels within a book can be labelled.

• Labelling from the pressure beam. Fast and automatic, labels are applied from the pressure beam just before the cutting sequence begins.

Pneumatic closing device for the saw line The latest of Holzma’s clever innovations, this feature stops the age-old problem of very small chips falling into the sawblade channel. As the blade moves through the cut a series of small gates quickly fold up behind it, effectively closing off the channel and avoiding offcuts dropping in. A small feature but one that can save a lot of machine downtime, this is the type of attention to detail that keeps Holzma at the forefront of beamsaw technology today.

The Bargstedt storage system in use at Central Joinery.

the future starts now at Central Joinery Central Joinery is one of New Zealand’s most respected joinery companies, with a customer base that includes hotels, apartment complexes, retail outlets, schools and high-end residential builds. Their industry status comes from a focus on consistent quality and efficiency, and their factory in Highbrook epitomises this. With minimal manual labour or handling Central Joinery have achieved a near seamless flow from concept to product, and increased their reputation for excellence along the way.

“We want to be a company that can respond to any requirement from a customer – be it just one or 500 cabinets – quickly and efficiently” says General Manager Shaun Simpson. It is this goal that led Central Joinery to invest in a software and machinery combination that is likely the most efficient, intelligent and integrated storage and cutting system in New Zealand.

The workflow for any job for the Central Joinery team is much the same, regardless of size.

Their software generates a file containing all the components of a job, which is priced, checked, and then sent for processing. While this is similar to the methods of most joinery companies around the country it’s the degree of sophistication that distinguishes Central Joinery from everyone else. Consider that this job could

have been designed, priced and then generated from a customer sitting with a laptop on his knee at home one evening. Consider too that this job could be subsequently processed up to and including cut components before anyone in the Central team lifts a finger. It wasn’t long ago that this magazine pondered how far the integration between software and automated processing could go in the future.

At Central Joinery, this future has arrived.

At the heart of Central Joinery’s production is sophisticated software integrated with a series of machines from German panel specialists Homag; a Bargstedt TLF storage system, Holzma beamsaw, Weeke CNC, Weeke drilling and dowelling machine, a n d H o m a g e d g e b a n d e r.

Bargstedt’s TLF incorporates sophisticated software with a

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 40

millimetre-accurate overhead vacuum lifting system that receives, sorts, and stores panels, then loads each panel to whichever machine needs it.

Panels arriving at the factory are placed at one of two loading bays in front of the TLF. At the Bargstedt control panel an operator specifies the size and material in each loading bay and from that point the TLF takes over. It picks them up and stores each one of them according to a variety of criteria: size, material type, demand and proximity to the most likely machine they will be processed on. With the location of every single panel in Central Joinery’s store in its memory, and with the knowledge of what panels are needed for upcoming jobs (both confirmed or in development) the TLF can then ensure each machine is

kept supplied with the panels it requires, on time. It also provides crucial inventory data, enabling the team at Central to optimise the stock they have on hand according to their current schedule, as well predicting future requirements.

A Bargstedt’s efficiency in materials handling is only valuable if the subsequent processing is equally efficient. Central’s purchase of the Bargstedt was part of a wider investment in an entire processing set-up, and just as crucial to their overall efficiency is their new Holzma HPP380 beamsaw. Having had an HPP380 model for several years they were already familiar with the benefits of the German beamsaw. Today Holzma and Bargstedt work side by side to provide integrated handing and cutting systems at all levels of production.

Central Joinery’s new HPP380 includes several of Holzma’s key features.

First is the Power Concept – an independently manoeuvrable clamp that allows several strips with different crosscut lengths to be cut together – significantly increasing material throughput.

Power Concept’s split pushers also allow for the Holzma saw to be loaded by the Bargstedt while it’s still cutting the previous job – another feature that saves time and increases throughput.

Their HPP380 also uses elements of Holzma’s ‘Domino’ system, a series of options that ensure each process on the saw intelligently prepares the way for the next. For example their HPP380 features a label printer on the pressure beam – meaning parts are automatically labelled as they are cut. For book cuts, where two more panels are stacked up for cutting, there’s a second label printer near the operator so that as he unstacks the parts they can be labelled too. As well as helping identify each part within each job, these labels contains information for subsequent processing: when scanned at the Weeke drilling and dowelling centre the machine automatically sets itself to process that particular part. The Holzma’s features are well thought through, and pay dividends: of their new storage and cutting configuration Shaun states that they’re getting a huge increase in speed of processing from the beamsaw.

The degree of integration between the office and the workshop floor at Central Joinery is at the cutting edge. As a job is being designed, it is also being priced, live, based on their existing stock of material, and if that material isn’t in stock a purchase order can be automatically generated. Even better, the material pricing takes into account what price was paid for each panel, so if they have identical panels but from several orders it knows the average price paid and prices accordingly.

Once the design has been earmarked for production, their software determines which machine to send which components of the job. Cutting can be scheduled on the Holzma or

their Weeke CNC, and urgent jobs can interrupt the schedule, and be optimised to be processed on both machines concurrently. What’s more all the machines can be remotely accessed by the suppliers in Germany to help Homag Group agents W & R Jack to assist with service and support.

With the design office to workshop processes refined and proven for well over a year now, Central Joinery have moved on to the next phase of their redevelopment.

Several months ago they quietly launched an online kitchen design service. From a custom-built website that links directly to their design and inventory software, anyone in the North Island (at this stage) can design and order their own kitchen – including appliances. The site allows cabinets to be customised in size, materials and hardware, all with live pricing. They are then either delivered flat pack, assembled or, if requested, installed.

Shaun is clear about where this new development is targeted. “This degree of mass customisation has been available in Europe for a while” he explains. “Here in NZ we’re aiming to give a customer the flexibility to design their whole kitchen, or just a few cabinets for their garage, to their individual requirements. This end of the market has usually been about compromise – going to a hardware store and finding the flatpacked cabinet nearest in size to what you need. But we can offer customised sizes and in a wide variety of materials, giving a customer far more choice.”

A screenshot from Central’s online design software.

Central Joinery’s online ordering system isn’t just about catering for the DIY market, but offers smaller joiners the opportunity to utilise Central’s factory production for more capacity when they need it.

The website’s pricing is linked to a user’s account, so a trade account can be set up with different options and pricing structure to retail customers.

“A cabinetmaker may use us to cope with surges in demand or overflow work – leaving them free to concentrate on design, sales and the installation process without having to worry about the factory.” says Shaun.

The appeal to smaller joiner shops is clear: increased production with a known quality and assured delivery timeframe, whenever they need it.

Beamsaws remain the fastest and most efficient method of bulk cutting, and Central Joinery’s Holzma HPP380 offers speed and versatility. But with the beamsaw working in conjunction with the flexibility of CNC nesting and drilling, an automated storage and feeding system, and integrated design and production

software, then the efficiency gains are unbeatable. Quietly but confidently Central Joinery may just have revolutionised this country’s custom cabinet industry.

effort in results out When Martin Page at the Kitchen Centre in Henderson made the shift to CNC production in October last year he decided that he wanted software that would automate their entire process. With his staff he decided that Cabinet Vision was the package to provide this and seven months later have found that dedication, hardwork and supplier support have seen them achieve their goal.

Joinery It have been there to assist this development, via the phone, internet and through on site visits and we also dedicated time ourselves in setting up hardware and merchandise options we use in our design and presentation.

The Kitchen Centre specialise in bespoke kitchens something that Martin and his family have been doing for 30 years across the wider Auckland area.

“We knew to keep up and remain competitive we needed to swap our panel saw for a CNC set up and purchased a Biesse Skill CNC router late last year. We understood the importance of putting the right software with it and choose Cabinet Vision for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was an internationally proven product which embraces the idea of screen to machine and secondly it had local representation which we knew we would need in coming to grips with the change.

Previously we had been using software for design and in generating parts and cutting lists so we had some knowledge of computers and systems which assisted our shift to full CNC production. It has been great and has really sped up our process and reduced lead times but we quickly realised that the machine only does what you tell it, the important part is becoming familiar with the software which instructs it.

Martin and Ben Page.

Initially our designers attended an introductory seminar run by Joinery It, the local vendors who we purchased Cabinet Vision from and that along with a couple of days on site with Joinery IT representative Jason Chittenden was great in getting us started and familiarising our staff and designers with the set up.

Setting up the library to suit your own manufacturing methods and utilise the program fully from design to production does take some time - particularly for a firm like us who are always dealing with one-offs.

Seven months on we are 95% of the way there and I can say that Cabinet Vision is a very good product, it can do everything and more - we are still finding new things it can do on a daily bases. The support from Phil Smith and Jason at Joinery It has been very good and their knowledge of the product a very necessary part of our development.

I would recommend Cabinet Vision and Joinery It to prospective buyers, the product and backup has been great - but I would suggest timing the change for a slower period of the year than the pre-Christmas rush we choose, and be prepared to put in some extra hours - like many things results are dependant on the effort you put in.” 

Joinery Specialists manager Graeme Emmerson and operator Craig McDonald in front of their new Griggio Unica 350.

busy back-up to cnc W

ith a prime spot on Kaikorai Valley Road, Joinery Specialists is a typical modern workshop. Based around a busy CNC machine they produce kitchens, laundries, vanities and more. But for the solid timber tops they produce, one off jobs, or when the CNC isn’t available, the team at Joinery Specialists fall back on the trusty panel saw to keep production running smoothly.

“Our previous saw was probably 25 years old” says Manager Graeme Emmerson, “and while we nursed it along we knew we needed to replace it.” After working through the options Graeme settled on another European machine – this time from Italian classical machinery manufacturers Griggio. One of Griggio’s renowned UNICA range of saws the 350 offers many of the same features as the larger CNC controlled machines but at a lower price.

Joinery Specialists are busy. With good foot traffic from their prominent location, constant referrals from over 25 years of happy customers, and strong relationships with group builders. There are three office staff – including Graeme and his partner designing all the kitchens the company produce. There’s a further six staff in the workshop, and so plenty for customers to see when they look through the back window of the stylish showroom into the workshop.

So with plenty of work at the company, as a ‘back-up’ the Griggio certainly gets a lot of work. “Having moved to CNC we didn’t want to spend a fortune on a saw” says Graeme.

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 46

“But the Griggio appeared to be a substantial saw for the money, and as it turns out we’re using it a lot more than we expected.” Operator Craig McDonald agrees. “We probably use it a lot more than we realise. Sometimes it would be running half the day.”

Available with a 2.6, 3.2 or 3.8 metre table, the UNICA series use the same sliding table on high precision hardened and polished steel bar guides, a feature that Craig appreciates.

“It’s a far better system that our previous saw” he says. “Smoother, and copes with the weight far better. It’s a clever design.” Other features Craig points out are the fast blade change, the safety features that come as part of the European CE design standards, and the fact it’s quiet. Another added benefit over the old saw is the fact the crosscut fence swivels to 45° – making angled cuts faster and more accurate.

Given the Griggio brand was unknown to them when they bought the saw, the team at Joinery Specialists are now converts to the Italian machine. “It’s reliable – and that’s key” says Graeme. Craig agrees but adds one complaint: the rise and fall mechanism is too slow when he’s in a hurry. Surely there’s no better indicator of a busy workshop!

Briquetting

technology in recent years has come a long way providing a simple, cost effective way of turning wood waste into cash with the added benefit of improving operational costs by reducing time lost in removing waste

a way of turning a cost into cash Disposing of wood waste has always been an issue for those operating in the wooden joinery industry. It usually means someone in the factory devoting regular time to gathering up and loading a skip bin with off cuts and sawdust which is then at a price, taken away and disposed of. This is even more so today with ever more efficient wood cutting machinery and the legal need to run clean, dust free, worker friendly factory environments. The process of briquetting wooden waste has been well known for some time as an efficient system to reduce and utilize wooden waste, with the increased costs associated with waste disposal it has also become a commercial solution. JOINERS Magazine spoke with Les Field from Woodfield Machinery Pty Ltd based in Victoria, who are Australasian agents for the ranges of briquetting options from manufacturers C F Nielsen from Denmark and POR in Italy.

Why should joinery companies in New Zealand be interested in briquetting technology?

The technology in recent years has come a long way. It is a simple, cost effective way of turning wood waste into cash. It has the added benefits of reducing operational costs by reducing time lost in removing the waste and any fire risk through immediate compacting. Briquetting can reduce solid wood waste and sawdust by up to 90%. The briquettes can be bagged and sold to hardware outlets or petrol stations as a biofuel. Briquettes are an attractive product both to the reseller and the consumer. They are easy to store, made in manageable sizes with no further cutting or preparation prior to end use.

as Hardie & Thomson Ltd in Christchurch (POR Oscar) and Southern Pine with a larger throughput of up to two tonnes an hour (C F Nielsen).

What are the logistics of getting one of these machines and ongoing servicing and parts?

The briquettes are an attractive product and can be bagged and sold to hardware outlets or petrol stations as a biofuel.

What briquetting options are there?

Oscar range of machines from POR. I say this for a number of reasons. The standard Oscar briquetting machine for example is an easily installed machine: a stand alone plug and play machine. These machines are powerful and long lasting. The Oscar produces a high quality 70mm by 80mm briquette in either a single (coal effect) or multiple (trunk effect) form.

With a large bore thrust cylinder it is possible to obtain a compression force of over 1000 kg/ cm2 on the briquette. This hydraulic pressure obviates the need for any additives to bind the material. It’s a quick, clean process.

We offer machines for both large and small operations. Danish manufacturer CF Nielsen produce machines specifically for larger operations while POR from Italy aim at the smaller ones. I think of particular interest to most New Zealand joinery firms would be the

As a result of these features we have had considerable success here in Australia selling the POR Oscar range of briquetting machines to smaller businesses. There are several businesses in New Zealand already who have bought briquetting machines through us such

The cost of the machines is quickly outweighed by the cash return made. It makes eco, ‘green’ sense as well. Joiners are of course only one segment of the market: any business creating wood waste can entertain this technology. It is appropriate for all wood except processed such as MDF, particle board or treated timber which of course involve various chemicals in their manufacture.

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 50

Woodfield Machinery is involved in the full sales process. The smaller Oscar range from POR are bought through us here in Australia. We arrange for their shipment to New Zealand. The larger machines from CF Nielsen necessarily require a more involved process. Upon sale, they are imported to New Zealand direct from CF Nielsen in Denmark who offer a direct warranty of 12 months or 1000 hours. Woodfield Machinery are responsible for their installation and provide the ongoing servicing and spare parts as required. We also offer the same warranty of 12 months or 1000 hours for the POR range.

Unique passes NZS4211 with flying colours

H

ardware distributor Unique Hardware Solutions Ltd has completed testing of a bifold door to NZS4211. Over the last 5 years, Master Joiners through JMFNZ have put a massive effort into creating a tested window and door suite and Unique Hardware has been following the developments with interest. A decision was made to undertake a type test with the support of Centor and the company was glad to have the experience of Centor General Manager Garry Stone on hand during testing.

Weather testing involves the manufacture of a door to a particular design. In this case the JMF folding door profiles were adapted to take the Centor E2 40kg and E3 100kg folding door systems. The door is in every way standard as it is meant to represent the typical output of a joiner so the hardware fitment, panel clearances, sealing methods and assembly were exactly as specified in the Centor and JMFNZ manuals.

Centor have manufactured sliding and folding hardware since 1951 and Unique Hardware is committed to providing hardware which is tested to New Zealand's challenging standard.

Director Stephen Tetley-Jones explains "Centor has undertaken many tests of bifold systems to the similar Australian standard (AS2047) so we were confident of our product. While the two standards share a great deal in common, New

Unique Hardware staff observing the testing.

Zealand's standard (NZS4211) is more stringent.

This will come as no surprise as New Zealand's weather is consistently wetter and windier than Australia! Centor's focus is products which enable joiners to make doors and windows which are cost effective to build, weathertight, dependable and easy to install and use. The joinery industry is responding to the demand for well sealed and durable windows and Centor has a long history of pursuing the same goal."

Unique Hardware's door test also encompassed locking systems. NZS4211 submits the door to both positive and negative pressures, simulating storm conditions. Negative pressures result in the doors being 'sucked' out of the frame and can be particularly challenging for locking systems.

With large vents such as bifolds, the loads are immense so proper design and fitting of locks is vital. Centor's flushbolts and Twinpoint lock were fitted to the doors and as a result can be said to comply with NZS4211. "This is good news for the joinery industry as it moves to offering complete NZS4211 compliant product. It is good news for customers who can have confidence that doors and windows will remain sealed and closed in extreme conditions. Finally it is good news for joiners who can have confidence their product will operate to a high standard" according to Mr Tetley-Jones.

Unique Hardware is excited by the opportunities afforded by the tested and proven suite of doors and windows. In an effort to improve it’s poor themal efficiency, aluminium windows are becoming much more expensive but even so aluminium cannot approach the efficiency of wood and it cannot offer timber's other benefits.

"It is my opinion that the tested window suite is a huge opportunity for the timber joinery industry" says Mr Tetley-Jones. "Now that we have tested products, the next challenge is marketing them.

It is time for joiners and industry players to work together to exploit the opportunities. That might be a bigger challenge than creating a tested suite, but it is one I am sure the industry is up for!" 

Holz-Her celebrating 100 years 2

014 marks one hundred years since Holz-Her GmbH first started operation. Based in Germany, HolzHer is best known for its range of high performance machinery used in the wood and panel industry including edgebanders, CNC machining centres, pressure beamsaws and vertical panel saws.

“To mark the event, Holz-Her are offering specials over their complete range. All these machines have high spec options added at considerably reduced prices” comments Mike French from Technical Machinery Services Ltd, the New Zealand agent for Holz-Her. Holz-Her have proved to be a very popular brand, especially their middle to lower range 1308XL ED100 edgebander.

Mike explains “This machine has created a lot of interest with it’s pre-mill option, 15 inch colour touch screen control and fully motorised adjustment feature. The Holz-Her edgebanding range concentrates on the essential features to unify the compact design with a high degree of automation making them the standard for cabinetmakers.”

Mike should know too with some twenty years experience in the woodworking industry including factory training in Germany with Holz-Her and Altendorf as well as practical experience with other leading brands such as SCM and Morbidelli.

HOT OFF THE PRESS!!

Perfectly invisible joints from Holz-Her HolzHer now offer with their new LUMINA series a unique combination for processing panels with two systems for perfectly invisible joints.

Firstly, for the standard use of PUR glue there is their Glu Jet application which provides for waterproof invisible joints with thin film technology. This is ideal for the small workshop and is used just like an EVA glue but with no extra glue basin or expensive nitrogen tanks while giving you a high strength joint with a very long service life being resistant to heat and water – quality advantages for cabinetmaking in all areas.

The NIR module in the Ltronic unit is capable of transferring heat energy to a specific point as required making it ideal for activation of function layers on laser edging. The Ltronic provides for visually perfect results – tone in tone with invisible joints. Significantly there is no heat up time or cleaning work and it provides for noiseless processing. The process is very much a pioneer in terms of energy efficiency as well.

Secondly, the Ltronic laser edge unit provides for perfect invisible joints.

You can easily process co-extruded and subsequently coated ‘laser edges’.

best product best advice Linkup Paints provide a total service

T

auranga based Linkup Paints (BOP) Ltd are one of the leading suppliers of paints and finishes across a range of industries including being distributors of product for the wood finishing industry from leading paints and stains manufacturer PPG Industries. The business, established back in 1991, was bought by husband and wife team Jason and Kim Barry in 2005. Jason had worked in the business since 1992. Linkup has steadily grown to now cover the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel and Gisborne as well.

“Our business is not just about selling good products but also providing good advice through a team of trained paint professionals.

This is at the heart of what we do.” comments Jason. The scope of the business is in fact far broader than just the wood finishing sector.

Jason explains “We see ourselves as a one stop shop for the trades in any industry dealing with applied coatings.” This has seen the business involved in providing product and advice to a wide ranging market including automotive, industrial, marine and the home decorator scene as well as the wood finishing industry.

Linkup provide the total package in a very much proactive way. With five vans on the road providing for sales and delivery, maintenance and technical assistance from a specialist in a particular industry, Linkup have created an enviable reputation for service and reliability.

“We see ourselves as a one stop shop for any of the trades involved in those industries that provide coatings as part of what they do.” comments Jason. The wood finishing industry is no exception. Linkup has had a good working relationship with PPG Industries.

The team at Linkup Paints BOP.

‘The right product and advice has been at the core of this relationship” comments Jason “As a distributor of PPG product we specialise in colour matching, a really valuable service to the joinery industry in particular. We do all our own matching and mixing of paints and stains onsite with a full timer and a part timer involved. We get pretty busy with on average some one hundred mixes a week.”

Linkup have their own spectrophotometer, scales, upgraded Merlin software package and mixing bank which constitute the ‘system’ from PPG. This provides for really speedy, accurate measurements based on weight rather than the more commonly used volumetric method.

They of course have the backup of PPG in Auckland if necessary as well.

“The interesting thing we have found is that almost half the paint coating supplied to the wood finish industry is supplied to ‘non trained painters’ which means technical advice and instruction is quite often required.” PPG have been regularly expanding their range of product. “We have had several new products in recent times including the new 880NGR

Claysons love Microvellum C

laysons Kitchens, manufacturers of highend kitchens and shopfitting, recently purchased Microvellum Software.

" W h e n M i c ro v e l l u m w a s f i r s t demonstrated to us, I couldn't believe what it was capable of doing - and that was just my first glance at the software.

It was only after my boss purchased the software and I was trained up on it - basically shown how to operate the software - that I realized how powerful the program really was.

There aren't many jobs that Claysons Kitchens will walk away from, so they needed screento-machine software that could deliver on any given task. They looked at the top packages on the market, and believed Microvellum shone above the others.

Microvellum’s flexibility, customization and ease of use give it a very competitive advantage.

Working directly with Microvellum and cutting out the middle man, Claysons Kitchens were able to quickly utilize the amazing software to afford them operational efficiencies.

After-sales support has been incredible, with the experienced team from Microvellum providing on-site training and quick answers to any questions that arise. From day one they were plugged in to Microvellum’s Help website, with access to worldwide forums and a 24 hour, 7 day a week call centre.

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 58

Clayson Kitchens' staff are able to fully customize the libraries right through to reporting and can even show what edges are clashed on part labels. They are creating custom parametric products inside Microvellum as well.

Microvellum was linked up to their CNC in a matter of minutes — there aren't many machines the software can't be linked to. 

A dedicated programmer could push the software to his or her limits and still not touch the boundaries of this software. After using this new software for 2-3 weeks, jobs that used to take at least 2 days to program were down to taking just a couple of hours. It's given me the motivation again to up-skill in my profession, and I would say, with this software, you are only bound by your imagination."

It’s not like buying a can of Coke If you are thirsty, and you can’t find a “Coke” you can always have a “Pepsi” ... it may not be your first choice but you can revert to “coke” next time. The same isn’t true for dust extraction .. you have to live with your selection for a long time.

S500

Starting out in dust exaction Dust extraction is an important addition to your machinery purchase. If you choose the wrong extraction system, it can be capital down the drain and hard to sort out afterwards. It’s probably better than what you had, but not as good as you could have had. At Airtight we thinks it’s about value ... good value ... that’s why our mantra is “Do it once, Do it right, Do it Airtight.”.

Airtight offers strong technical knowledge and are interested in getting it right ... for all parties.

We have been doing it for a long time and know what works long term. That’s where your value comes from. Our ability to provide consistently good extraction.

So here are some thoughts on how to build a dust extraction system to suit your set up, whether that’s a smaller shop using a saw and edgebander or a larger operation running multiple machines. A system that suits your business and can grow as you grow.

S750

Dipping your toe in the water AirtightS500 extraction unit Airtights answer to giving good extraction to low volume users is the AirtightS500 extraction unit. With a high efficiency fan and two collection modules, this unit gives good airflow. More critically, it will consistently give you good extraction. This is because of the number and quality of the filter bags we use.

Suits: a small CNC machine OR an edge bander and saw.

AirtightS750 extraction unit If you have a production level in mind and are using a larger CNC router or nester with an edge bander then we would recommend you go for the S750 model - a larger fan and 3 dust collection / filtration modules gives this system better performance for not a lot more money.

Suits: a CNC machine AND a small edge bander and saw

S750T top entry

AirtightS1000 extraction unit Because of increasing demand, we have extended this range to the S1000. This takes a step up and uses a larger fan and 4 collection modules Suits: a CNC machine AND a larger edge bander and saws.

How to contain the dust After putting the effort in to collect the dust, it’s amazing how often we see cheap systems using poor containment systems which have dust leaking straight back into the air. You should collect it and contain it properly or else whats the point? Waste collection can be into plastic bags, steel bins, wheelies bins or steel skips. It just depends on how much waste you produce and where you want to locate the filter.

Plastic bags are quick and easy, but it does mean dragging them over to a bin ... not always that easy. Steel bins are good and safe, and are required where tampering is a possibility, but still difficult to move when full of dust. Wheelie bins are easier to move but cost a bit more.

Skips are the ultimate for volume, but are a bit more cumbersome and require a truck removal.

Airtight can help you select the best unit to suit your needs. Airtight offer them all. Our advice is exceptional value because it good and its free!

Rising from the ashes …

Egmont air also recommended their “Spark Detection System” to monitor the new extraction system. The Egmont system provides full detection and extinguishing of any dangerous heated or shouldering particles.

T

aranaki Sawmills recently installed a new Egmont Air highperformance dust extraction system to extract wood-shavings from their new high-speed planer.

A destructive fire left Taranaki Sawmills with severe building damage and a planer beyond repair. Egmont Air, New Zealand specialists in Dust Extraction, completed a full in-depth evaluation of Taranaki Sawmills requirements and specified a superperformance dust extraction system to suit the requirements of the replacement planer.

Capable of machining heavy profiles at 100m/m, the new 9-head planer required high suction-power to extract the large volume of shavings. Egmont Airs high-efficiency Fan series was utilized in conjunction with a variable speed drive to provide ultimate control and maximum suction levels, while saving power.

Egmont Airs modular-filter units feature a massive decantation chamber and high filter-surface area to effectively separate the dust-load from the air-stream and guarantee clean-air discharge.

Filter resistance of less than 150 pascals can be achieved which significantly reduces backpressure on the fan and maximizes suction at the planer. Further to this, an automated reverse-air cleaning system maintains the filter-sleeves in optimum working condition and reduces maintenance to a minimum.

The larger challenge lay with the transfer of wood-shavings 300 metres across the site to the

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 60

Egmont Air always use dual highsensitivity sensors placed opposing each other on the duct line. These highsensitivity sensors scan the full width of the duct without obstructing the airflow and have a unique self-testing feature which provides true through-the-lens results to guarantee the system will perform when required. Heat sensors and filter-deluge are also coupled to the “spark detection system” to provide complete safety and assurance.

silos in preparation for feeding the kiln-boilers.

Egmont Air specified a new 3-lobe ‘RootsBlower’ which develops high-pressure to transport 8,500kg of shavings per hour! through a 200mm diameter blow-line across the site.

Extra heavy-gauge ducting and long-radius bends were also specified to maintain integrity against factors of the shaving-load, abrasive wear and the high-pressure involved. Two large blow-through Rotary-valves were positioned on the Egmont modular-filter to discharge the shavings into the blow-line.

A pneumatic diverter system allows the shavings to be directed to either the kiln-silos or a bulk-truck silo. Quick-couplings also allow connection of 20’ containers to the system if separation of shavings from special treated timbers is required.

Egmont Air offer a huge range of fan and filter sizes for wood-working applications and provide solutions for many timber processors, kitchen makers & joinery shops who previously considered filter units as an expensive option.

Egmont Air offer a FREE consultation and professional advice for any dust or fume extraction issue. Contact Egmont Air on 0800 781 200 or +64 6278 1200 or visit their website: www.egmontair.co.nz for more information and a free catalogue.

new generation software improves your As CAD/CAM software continues to advance, new generation solutions can result in a better bottom line for your business and provide you with distinct competitive advantages. Anne Charlton the Operations & Marketing Manager for Integrated Joinery Solutions, explains why investing in these new generation solutions could well be the key for your business to minimise expensive manual processes, costly errors and wastage.

Time to Market The industry is dealing with shrinking lead times and time to market has become a key advantage the local industry has over imports. New generation software can decrease time to market by supporting a concurrent, not consecutive, approach to your drawing, machining & production processes.

In effect, the aim of the new generation solutions is to allow for several processes to overlap, rather than having to be done one after the other. For example, your approval drawings can now contain all the information needed to go to production. This can only be done with new generation solutions which do not require the unit to be redrawn from scratch if any changes are required to the model. This approach also allows for one setout operator to be responsible for multiple processes (eg drafting, cutting lists & machining), rather than having an operator responsible for each specific function.

Design Changes All manufacturers are in the business of change management.

Each and every time the client,

designer or architect makes a modification to the design you stand to lose money if you have to waste valuable time redrawing the design from scratch to the new specifications. New generation 3D CAD/CAM software operate on the premise that users need to perform changes cost effectively, without having to redraw the unit every time. Known as ‘exact parametric modellers’ these solutions provide you with the ability to quickly & easily make all dimensions parametric; length, width & depth. This allows you

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 62

to make changes to designs in seconds, even complex units & curves, freeing up setout resources to move on to the next project.

And being fully associative all the workshop drawings, plotsheets and machining information are automatically updated with any changes to the model.

Data Errors With old technology up to four different software solutions, from different developers, can be involved in the process from design through to machining in

your business. This requires the transfer and conversion of data via an interface or sometimes even a manual process. Each point where data is transferred between programs the chance of data errors increases. New generation solutions are fully integrated CAD/CAM systems which remove the need for multiple interfaces and manual processes reducing errors and wastage.

Double Handling With recent advancements in technology there is no longer a

bottom line need for businesses to operate multiple softwares for different work streams. Previously software solutions have tended to specialise in either standard or custom work.

Or indeed in specific market niches such as kitchens or wardrobes or commercial joinery. The new generation of software solutions handle ALL work streams with ease. This has numerous benefits for your business: • • • •

one system to purchase one system to learn one process to follow one contact for assistance

Wastage With the new generation of solutions that adhere to a design to build philosophy, wastage can be cut considerably. New generation solutions now offer visual machining, with full production information attached, allowing the user to see exactly what is going to be manufactured. Errors can be spotted on the screen, before going to production. This ensures that businesses can be confident that what is on the screen is what is going to come off the machine.

Some cutting edge solutions go as far as to allow the user to see a video preview of the machining process in action. What better way to ensure 100% accuracy.

Be mindful of solutions that only offer a visual representation of machining. This will provide you with a nice image on the screen, but with no production information attached it does not guarantee increased accuracy.

True shape nesting provides further opportunity to save on wastage as it provides for maximum usage of board.

Interface Functionality New generation software recognises the need for you to import and export files amongst your network. An incredibly useful feature is the provision of multiple interface formats for import and export. The more file formats offered the better. This interface functionality offers genuine time saving benefits as it

can offer the ability to open work directly from other CAD solutions in 2D and 3D. As the files maintain maximum integrity your workload in getting these files production ready is minimised.

User Control The most advanced solutions actually hand control back to you. No-one knows your business better than you do. By having control, you can easily change: • construction methods • hardware • fixings Joinery Specific Functions No longer does the joinery industry need to rely on software that has been adapted to the industry. You can now access solutions that have in-built joinery functionality.

These systems provide users with the ability to quickly: • interchange assembly methods (eg screws, CAM, dowels etc), • apply wood operations such as grooves & rebates directly from the tool bar • select various panel processing functions such as edgebanding.

This saves considerable time in the setout process, again freeing up resources to move on to the next project.

Sound Investment Businesses continue to invest large amounts in CNC machinery to increase production capability, and rightly so. However, CNC machines need CAD/CAM software to run efficiently.

Software is the brains of the modern joinery operation. The right software is a worthwhile investment, providing the continuous process improvement needed to remain ahead of the competition.

Investing in the new generation software allows you to break away from the competition. And your investment will be repaid many times over. 

When size matters Versatile modular filters adapt to the space!

When Hepburn Joinery in Christchurch needed a new filtration system, moving premises to house a large modular system would have been ideal but this busy supplier of high quality joinery fittings did not want to leave the business site where they have been based for decades.

The problem was that space was tight, and the current system utilised a cyclone on the roof, filling a hopper in the ceiling that had become an issue each time it was emptied: it upset the surrounding businesses when the dust blew everywhere!

Owner Michael Bensemann wanted something that fitted the space available, was clean and easy to empty and came in on budget.

Geoff Ebdon from New Zealand Duct&Flex confirmed the scenario.

“The problem was the cyclone.

They collect the larger particles but emit quite substantial small dust particles. It is dust under 10 microns diameter that cause human respiratory problems (a human hair is 50 – 60 microns wide). In Europe, they have not been considered a suitable dust extraction solution on their own for years. Christchurch also has air quality issues and the council are keen to see fine dust removed from the environment.

Michael stressed from the start that he didn’t want to waste money on a system that would fall foul of the authorities in the future”.

No job is too big or small for the friendly Hepburn company whether it be a simple domestic cupboard door repair or a full retail shop fitting for a commercial customer so Michael was pleased that NZ Duct&Flex were able to offer the same flexibility and level of service. Neal England, NZ Duct&Flex’s in-house engineer and install manager explained that the modular system can be altered easily to fit into smaller spaces or adapted, if business needs increase.

Space being tight at Hepburn the existing fan was reused, ducted out through the roof, along the roof, back into the factory and down to the filter. The space in which the filter was fitted, is millimetres below the roof, between beams and walls yet provides maximum possible filtration capacity, for the limited space.

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 64

Made to just fit – a 4 bag, 2 bay modular filter inside Hepburn Joinery.

Manufactured from Galvanised Swedish steel, there are many features on the filter including large inspection doors for easy access to the bags.

Like supplier JKF Industri, NZ Duct & Flex promotes the principle of low pressure operation for filters.

“We give you a bigger filter for the money, it works less hard and the benefit to the customer is low wear on the filter bags, longer life, no blockage problems and hence low lifetime cost” says Ebdon. “Cash flow is always an issue but its false economy to spend large sums on new production machinery and skimp on the dust extraction – it just results in dust all over boards being cut, on the cutting beds, in the paint spraying area and all the employees!”

With the largest stock of modular duct in NZ available in stock, NZ Duct&Flex were able to reuse most of the existing ducting and just add on as necessary – again ensuring the install was as cost effective as possible.

“What I didn’t expect” said Michael “was that the whole system is quieter, there is no more ‘drone’ or noise from the cyclone”.

Now not only do Hepburn staff appreciate the improved performance of the filter, but dealing with the dust is simple - unclip a bag, twist, tie and into the bin, their neighbours appreciate the changes also - no more dust!

another Woodform Solution

bending weatherboards The recladding of a curved deck on a house in Auckland’s Castor Bay presented the challenge of to how to use weatherboard without creating a faceted effect while ensuring it remained weathertight. The architect involved looked to timber bending specialist Woodform Design for a solution.

The house had originally been built in weatherboard with a deck later added in a laminate format which ultimately leaked, meaning the reclad work was necessary.

The owner decided he wanted to replicate the look of the house by using a 215mm bevelback weatherboard - the issue was how to bend it to the tight 1750mm radius of the deck while ensuring its stability and weathertightness.

The answer was supplied by Woodform Design. The companies managing director Dave Pratt had over the years recieved a number of enquires from architects seeking a curved weatherboard solution and in response they had developed a system to bend weatherboards.

The 215 mm width provided a more difficult proposition than the standard 142mm or 187mm said Dave but we were confident that our system could be extended to the 215mm width, and so it proved.

The wood is prepared and shaped at the company’s West Auckland factory. First the timber is impregnated with a formula that plasticises the wood allowing it to be roll formed to the required radius without cracking or losing its integrity, it is then held in a jig to dry for 12 hours to ensure it holds its shape. Once dry rebates and drip lines are machined into the weatherboard and it is then sanded and ready for installation.

The system can be applied to any radius from a 1 metre minimum satisfying most architectural specifications and complies with the NZ Building Code. ďƒŒ

Gary Shaw is hands on with his new Lange B601 trimmer and B500 K edgebander.

perfect partners

A

t Kitchens For Less in Dunedin, Managing Director Gary Shaw is undertaking a re-investment program. It’s partly enforced – a power surge last year took out both of their CNCs - but it’s also partly about upgrading the workshop to the latest technology. While the bigger machines are ordered and scheduled for installation soon, two of Gary’s smaller purchases are already on site and in production: a hot-melt edgebander for shaped work, and a trimmer. Both are from German manufacturer Lange, and sold by W & R Jack.

In addition to his role as the boss, Gary also turns his hand to any area of the business that needs his attention, and this includes the workshop floor. “I’m the first person trained on any of our new machines” he says.

“Even though these are reasonably new, I’ve already spent time on them.

They’re solid, well-built and I can see we’ll get excellent service from them” he says, blowing them down in preparation for a photo.

Lange’s B601 trimmer and B500 K hot melt edgebander make for perfect partners, and it’s for this reason Gary has bought both. With the flexibility that comes from a glue-pot machine the B500 K is designed for edgebanding curved and shaped work. With a fast heat up time, infinitely adjustable pressure roller for speeds from 0 to 8 metres a minute, and with feed in and cut-off operation via footpedal the B500 K brings a stereotypically German balance of precision and sturdy build quality – weighing in at over 165kgs.

The B601 trimmer offers similarly high specifications. With two highfrequency variable speed motors it simultaneously trims the excess tape from the top and bottom of the panels for tape from 0.4 to 3mm. With digital workpiece adjustment for panels up to 55mm the B601 provides excellent curved or chamfered edges.

While the workshop overhaul continues Gary is taking the opportunity to fine-tune the Lange machines to his criteria. “I know once the bigger machines are in I’ll be busy learning how best to use them, and we’ll quickly be back to turning out well over 10 kitchens a week” he says. “So while we’re a little quieter I can take the time tweaking, preparing these edgebanders for the new extraction system, working on the new layout.”

Given the changes ahead for Kitchens For Less there’s no doubt that these Langes will soon be overshadowed by the highly-automated processing line in front of them. But for now the Lange machines are establishing their reputation as part of the wave of new processing capability at this busy Dunedin workshop.

What is the role of JMF NZ Ltd? As a result of the “leaky homes” saga the Department of Building and Housing issued an edict in 2008 that all trades involved in construction must use products that meet the appropriate New Zealand Standard.

For joiners this meant that timber exterior doors and windows needed to test to NZS:4211 for weather tightness, both rain and wind and structural integrity to comply to with our own Specification for Timber Windows NZS:3619 : 1979 which stated that timber windows shall comply with NZS:4211. No current profiles had been tested and approved, but some research and testing had been carried out by M J N McNaughton Limited.

Rather than “reinventing the wheel” and starting all over, Master Joiners (New Zealand Joinery Manufacturers’ Federation Inc) joined forces with McNaughtons to carry out an extensive testing programme. This was considered the preferred option as opposed to each individual manufacturer being forced to go it alone to gain compliance for their products at an unaffordable cost.

Changes are a foot This month comes with the significant announcement that Gabbetts are withdrawing from the New Zealand market and with their principal agency being the SCM group, this is a notable retreat.

Despite the fact that there are positive economic signs with business confidence high and a rampant housing market, clearly it is still a difficult market. This coincides with the liquidation of the long established business, Goode Industries which has being placed in liquidation.

What does this mean?

A company, JMF New Zealand Ltd (JMF NZ), was formed to carry out this extensive (and expensive), programme and to protect the valuable intellectual property that has been developed. To date, funded by the members levies, the cost has exceeded $350,000. JMF NZ is jointly owned (50/50) by Master Joiners and McNaughtons.

It is always complex and never as straightforward as it seems.

We have already discussed in previous Buzz issues that the high dollar is not only affecting exporters, but has also had an extremely damaging effect on local manufacturers due to import substitution.

The company has four directors, Ken Monk and Julian Jaques representing Master Joiners plus Garry and Dennis McNaughton representing M J N McNaughton Limited. Each director receives an annual fee of $2,000 to cover directors meetings and they are reimbursed for any associated costs involved. Ken has put an enormous amount of his own time into this project and has received no payment for work done. The extensive and ongoing testing programme is led by director and manager Garry McNaughton.

Machinery dealers play an important role in the efficiency drive of manufacturers. A key part of improving manufacturing efficiency is through purchasing capital equipment. Through the life of this equipment the dealer must provide ongoing support, service and spare parts. It should not be expected that this will be free, and in fact it is in everyone’s interest that this is profitable for the dealer.

No better has this been demonstrated in the US where the biggest dealer – Stiles Machinery Inc – was able to survive the GFC better than any other dealer, in large part because when machinery sales collapsed, they had service and spare parts still generating good income in their own right. This resulted in them retaining the basis of their technical skills, whereas competitors had to let go staff who had built up years of experience. Consequently they have been able to maintain their reputation for high quality service and also were first cab off the rank when the economy picked up.

A manual with full details of all NZS:4211 compliant window and door profiles has been produced and distributed to all Master Joiner members who have become affiliated members of JMF NZ. Further development and the preparation of fully tested installation procedures and relevant specification is currently being undertaken and nearing completion.

Director Ken Monk has visited and spoken to all Master Joiner regional associations and is also visiting specifiers, architects, and local government regulators. Suppliers of hardware have joined in support, as have manufacturers of timber profiles. Each project will require compliance tags (purchased from JMF NZ) to be fixed to the profiles as proof of compliance.

It is envisaged that the income from sales of compliance tags will cover the cost of ongoing research and testing. JMF NZ may at some time in the future generate a profit and will reduce the price of tags once all overheads have been met. McNaughton’s are entitled to a return on their investment, however McNaughton’s have given an undertaking to forego any return while levies are being charged and may or may not take their share of profit out in the future. Master Joiners is a not for profit organisation and any return will be further invested in the industry.

We have seen significant change in machinery dealers in the last few years and it is likely we have not seen the last of it. It should be noted though that it is to the benefit of all that there is a strong and competitive machinery supply and service industry in New Zealand to maintain the effort to improve productivity and compete against imported product. The industry must begin to grow again and the best way to achieve this is through innovative products and services and improved productivity. Machinery plays a key part in this.

On a different note, it is sad to see such a significant business as Goode Industries close their doors. I would like to make a special mention of the proactive way in which this has been done with most staff re-employed elsewhere and creditors not out of pocket. Call me old fashioned but there is honour in how this has been handled.

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY AUCKLAND The Auckland Master Joiners Association seems to be ticking away reasonably well. Our last meeting was held at the Auckland premises of W & R Jacks. We had a fairly quick but productive meeting followed by a run-down by W & R Jacks on some of their latest machinery. This was followed by some light refreshments and finger food that was gratefully received.

One of the main topics up for discussion was how we should be vetting new applicants into Auckland Master Joiners and Master Joiners nationally. It was decided at this meeting that we would formulate a small subcommittee which would come back to us with a proposal as to what our criteria would look like. This would probably allow applicants to join Auckland Master Joiners for the 12 month trial period and then approach Master Joiners nationally to grant the applicants a full membership to Master Joiners. It was felt at this meeting that applicants should be accepted nationally rather than regionally. Auckland as a whole seems to be very busy and most of the Auckland Joiners seem to be on approximately a seven week turnaround from confirmation of orders. Most of the work seems to still be renovation and alteration type work. A lot of the new builds in Auckland are group housing with the likes of G J Gardener, Signature, David Reid and the list goes on.

Most of this type of work is still predominately aluminum joinery and pressed panel interior doors with cheaper cabinet work. I think that most joiners have become a little smarter over the last 3 to 4 years ensuring that they have a water tight quote acceptance form and that deposits are received or that the correct credit applications are filled out instead of relying on a hand shake deal or word of mouth.

This all helps to ensure that you will get paid at the end of the job.

Architects are still keen to learn more about the NZS:4211 programme and are finding the manual to be a very handy tool to assist them with their drawings and designs and we are finding that some drawings are starting to appear with NZS:4211 in the specifications. I think that the upcoming work load

in the Auckland region is looking promising. There seems to be plenty of quoting going on but a lot of customers are shopping around for the best price and seem to be prepared to compromise on quality.

– David Cunningham CANTERBURY Really not much has changed in the past 4 months; businesses are now settling in to their new high workloads and most seem to be managing them well. Personally I don’t see things getting too much more out of control then they are now. However, maybe towards the end of this year when commercial activity looks like it’s going to ramp up, things may need to shift up another gear. A growing amount of joiners have invested in new sizable machinery of late so that’s a good positive sign that things are going well. Customers are still shopping around for the best price so it’s a good idea not to give them plans with measurements on it or at least charge them for your design. Bad debts around town are still being managed well and for the amount of work being done they seem very low, so that’s a good sign.

Staffing is still a big problem, with it still taking a long time to find the right person; this may also be a reason behind businesses investing in new machines like CNC’s where they do the work of multiple people. Member numbers are still increasing, however more so with associates than joiners. Would like to see more joiners sign up, but like I’ve said before, associates are just as important as they are a great source of information. On a social note we enjoyed our annual fishing trip to Moeraki. Not many fish were caught but it was a great weekend.

Other than that the conference in New Plymouth is fast approaching so hopefully we have some good numbers heading that way to enjoy a different part of the country and for some good networking.

- Nathan Moore CENTRAL Looking around most companies seem to have enough work for the foreseeable future which is a great sign of things picking up. Once again trying to find qualified staff seems to still be a bit of a problem

for some. As we have a 2 year term for president it is my time to step aside and time for our vice president Graeme Andrews to take the helm.

We also have a change of secretary as our previous one has had to step down due to work commitments. I would like to welcome aboard Trev Wyatt who I know will do a great job and thank Jenny Wallace for all her efforts. I have enjoyed my time as president but ask myself, where did those two years go? I have started to receive a few questions about NZS:4211 which is a positive thing as it means firms are starting to use the manuals. Any questions I can answer I will but recommend them to go to the question and answer Forum page on JMF NZ website, as someone else has probably asked the same question and if not they can leave a question which will be answered appropriately. Socially we had our annual race day last November and have our golf day coming up on the 25th of March. As a committee we are trying to hold an event at the end of each month so we can stay in contact more and have more to do with our National Associate members. On a last note I would like to acknowledge Grant Christie and Graeme Barrow, former Directors of Rose City Wood Panels, for their contribution and support over the years. I wish them all the best in their new endeavours and know they will support the new director in continuing the great service to the industry as they did.

Hope to see you all at conference in New Plymouth this June. – Craig Fleet HAWKE’S BAY/POVERTY BAY Welcome back to the New Year everyone, and a very warm welcome to our new members Door Pro, Hastings Laminate and Millbrook Furniture Solutions. The 2014 business year kicked off with New Zealand’s economy being declared by a leading global bank as a ‘Rock Star’. Of course that Rock Star status is being led by the construction underpinning the Christchurch rebuild and the estimated 45,000 new homes on the drawing board for Auckland over the next three years.

Out here in the provinces, it would be easy to dismiss such positive economic news as being all very well if your business is based in

Auckland or Christchurch, but not much good to those of us out here in regional New Zealand.

Let’s face it, the past few years have seen us experiencing really challenging conditions here on the East Coast. Looking around, it would be easy to think nothing is going to change soon. As I write this another local house builder with four houses in construction has gone into liquidation, I remind all members to spread your customer workloads, and keep a close eye on debt levels.

The construction boom in our two main centres gives us in the Bay a fantastic opportunity. With the sector so tied up in those cities, there’s going to be more demand than local joiners can supply. The surrounding areas that would normally be serviced by businesses in those big centres are going to be short of options and looking for solutions. Which means those of us who aren’t in the thick of it, so to speak, with capacity and capability, can jump in to satisfy the demand.

This year is our chance to focus on the opportunities that the current market offers. I feel optimistic for the year ahead. I hope you do.

- Ross Morgan NELSON/MARLBOROUGH The region and branch members have a positive outlook as we move towards the end of the summer.

The domestic market appears to be buoyant, with high numbers of enquiries and confirmed projects across the region. Cash flows and debt collection seem to be better than normal. Architectural visions that celebrate timber and in particular the use of veneers are the flavour of the day. This however may be a false dawn with new dwelling consents and non residential consents tracking lower than in previous years. Educational work continues to reduce as funding is allocated to other regions. Quoting remains very competitive and margins tight.

The continued shrinkage of skilled resources also remains a problem.

It appears that the demand for compliant timber joinery to NZS: 4211 through local specifiers and local authorities has yet to gain momentum. Members are also finding the cost and the time required for apprentices to attend

Reports from Branch Presidents 11 March 2014

the JITO courses prohibitive and this subsequently has reduced the interest in pursuing this career path. We recently benefited from a presentation from Lisa Cooper Rhind, Human Resources Advisor Laminex, on how to solve staffing issues, motivating staff, providing workplace incentives, the employer’s rights and employee issues. This continues the vision to improve the brand and develop a point of difference for our branch members, not only in quality but how we run our businesses. Our next meeting will focus specifically on how we communicate the brand and key messages we send to the public. Going forward, the branch are extremely keen to continue to develop partnerships with fellow Master Joiner members in the Canterbury area. – Alan Gibbs OTAGO/SOUTHLAND The Otago/Southland joiners have had steady workloads over the past few months and this trend looks to be continuing with the outlook for future months looking fairly promising. There has also been an increase in apprentices being taken on, which is great and gives an indication that the industry is picking up and moving forward. A great night was had by members at our Christmas get-together, which was held down the Catlins at the ‘Whistling Frog’ last November.

Our hosts laid on a great night, with a stunning array of food, 3 piece jazz band, and a heated outdoor area. The majority stayed in on-site accommodation which made the night very relaxing.Our meetings have had good attendance and hopefully this will increase further during the year. - Peter Leith TARANAKI Wo r k l o a d s a r e g o o d i n o u r region with lots of activity in the private housing sector happening.

Commercial has slowed a little with only a couple of larger projects on the go. A new 96 room hotel has just been tendered but came in $6 millon over budget. The main contractors had to trim back for this to go ahead. It seems pricing is still very competitive across all sectors of our industry. We were all sorry to hear back in February that our local builder of super yachts, Fitzroy Yachts, was to close its doors at the

end of February, after not being able to secure another contract, with the loss of some 150 jobs. They were employing about twenty odd joiners who had been producing some great finished work with a high skill set.

Some have already left with the others staying on to finish the last yacht which is for the owner of the company. Out of this has come some good, for local joinery firms. There is now no local shortage of staff, so we can pick and choose who we hire for a change. One would presume that some will have to leave town to find work or else change to a different vocation. Such a shame for our local economy, as we have not seen any joinery related firms close down in our region for many years.

Well, June is not that far away, so I am hoping that all members have considered a trip to the Naki for the 2014 conference. See you there. Roger Paul WAIKATO / BAY OF PLENTY As the nation seems to continue its steady growth from the GEC, the report from our members is still extremely mixed. Whilst many are reporting having their best end of year period for the 2013 winter months for years, the forward workload is still somewhat patchy, with many not having any secured work for the foreseeable future.

On the other side of the coin, several members are now looking at not having any spare time in their production schedules and some even pushing their lead times out to two months. The growth areas in general seem to be in the residential sector as public confidence grows but this is contradicted in certain areas such as Rotorua where growth is still slow. Although building consents issued are on the rise, several regions such as the Waikato are down on the national figures.

From the commercial sector, again confidence and spending steadily gains momentum but this area is still a strongly contested tender market and it appears the desire to reduce margins and “cut your own throat” remains which can only be damaging to the companies involved and the industry. This is also being driven by clients claiming they can get their joinery for a greatly reduced rate, one client even stating a figure of 30% cheaper. Architects have been a cause of concern whereby you give a

budget estimate based on a concept; they then believe that is their price but are astounded that when you do actually price the tender drawings the price has increased. Labour is obviously going to be a great concern in the coming year. As the Christchurch rebuild continues, the increases in work in the major cities such as Wellington and Auckland means the exodus of tradesmen from our regions will also continue for the foreseeable future. The governments reboot scheme has helped alleviate some of the short term issues, but as the growth in the industry continues the need for qualified tradesmen will increase and I guarantee this shortage will push the hourly rates paid to these tradesmen up. Wintec in Hamilton has seen a 10% growth in their intake of apprentices recently which further demonstrates the industry is on the up. Debt recovery seems to be less of an issue with several members stating their builder clients are paying on time and are more positive regarding their own future workloads. To summarise, the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region on the whole seems to be in a positive position and our members pretty confident for the coming year. – Sean Wood WAITAKI Workloads are looking very good for the start of this year with some members experiencing very busy times, some having work up to 4 to 5 months ahead, this being in the residential market. Those involved in the commercial field are finding things very competitive at present.

Hopefully this will change soon as thing pick up in Christchurch. Some firms have taken on more staff, although good trade persons are hard to find and will get harder as firms get busier. Two new apprentices have been taken on and two others have stated they may have to consider an apprentice in the near future. Materials seem to be all okay at present but pressure on getting jobs done sooner is putting pressure on suppliers to deliver faster. Most members are reasonable happy with payments being on time but there is always the odd one or two dragging behind. Just recently the Waitaki joiners held a most successful ‘back to the grind’ dinner party that was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

The first meeting of the year was held in Oamaru with two associate members speaking on new products that are now on the market. – Alan Paterson WELLINGTON We have had our first meeting of the year and I expected all present, to be as buoyant and optimistic as I was. Not so, some of the lads were quiet, the work they had for after Christmas had not eventuated or started as expected. It’s generally a hard time of year to pick up work, but we all reported plenty of work around to price and this is still a positive. A lot seems to be happening in Wellington city. There are buildings being built and cranes dotted everywhere. It surprises me so much is going on, we only seem to hear of companies in Wellington shifting their headquarters or downsizing. Perhaps the majority of it is earthquake strengthening, with building owners getting it done after the recent quakes to the north and south of us. Porirua city appears to be focusing on their shopping centres again. Lower Hutt city appears to be running out of industrial room and Upper Hutt city is opening up new land for more housing and retirement villages. The amount of timber joinery businesses in our region remains stable with only a few new businesses starting up. I would say that more smaller fringe businesses such as stainless and granite have emerged. I think a busy year is ahead for us down here in the tropics and that the good times are creeping up on us, cheers and good health. – Anthony Neustroski ²

Due Process Geoff Hardy

Getting a Code Compliance Certificate for old building work

F

or most building work you are required to obtain a building consent from the Council. The Council (or “building consent authority”) is the organisation charged with ensuring that every building or structure is safe to occupy and use, and will perform to the minimum standards required by law. They check this in three ways. First, by reviewing the plans and specifications before issuing the building consent, and in many cases insisting on changes. Secondly, by inspecting the project during the course of construction. Thirdly, by issuing a code compliance certificate (“CCC”) on completion of the project. The CCC is supposed to be the final sign-off from the Council that the building work you have just done, complies with the building code.

The CCC concept was introduced under the 1991 Building Act, but it never fulfilled its promise, largely because there was no particular incentive for building owners to obtain the CCC, and no effective penalty if they didn’t.

That tended to defeat the purpose of having CCCs in the first place, so in the 2004 Building Act the Government tightened up the rules. Now, building owners must apply for a CCC as soon as the project is complete. If they don’t apply within two years of receiving the building consent, the Council must do something about it.

However the new rules don’t apply to building projects where the consent was issued before 31 March 2005 (which is when the 2004 Building Act came into force). There are plenty of buildings built under consents issued under the 1991 Act, that

don’t yet have a CCC. That only becomes a problem when the Council puts the heat on you to obtain a CCC, or you want to sell the building, or mortgage it as security for a loan. The standard form agreement for sale & purchase of land contains a warranty by the seller that a CCC has been issued for any work the seller has had done on the property. And banks typically insist on one as a condition of the mortgage. So many owners of older buildings find themselves in the position of asking the Council for a CCC, many years after the building was completed.

If that happens, the law is quite clear. The application for the CCC must be processed as if the 1991 Act still applied, and the Council must be satisfied that the building work complies with the building code that was in force at the time that the original building consent was issued. The building code (Schedule 1 to the Building Regulations 1992) has not changed significantly since it was first introduced, but in many cases the acceptable solutions have. For example, clauses B2 (durability) and E2 (external moisture) have been there since the code first came out, but drained external wall cavities are now the acceptable solution in many weathertightness cases, when they were not previously.

The real problem is that it is very difficult for a Council to check code compliance many years after the building work has been completed, and it is very easy for them to get it wrong. Faced with this difficulty, and worried about potential liability, many Councils have tried to pass the buck by simply refusing to issue a CCC,

without taking any active steps to solve the underlying problem.

They have been doing this by suggesting or insisting that the building owner obtain a “determination” on the issue from the Department of Building and Housing (now part of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment).

The determination procedure is supposed to be a cost-effective means to break deadlocks between the building owner (or a neighbour) and the Council – to be used as a last resort where the parties have exhausted all their arguments and still cannot reach agreement. For a GST-inclusive fee of only $287.50 (for residences) or $575.00 (for other buildings) you can get a prompt, thoroughly-researched, authoritative ruling that is often backed up by experts’ reports and legal opinions.

You can see why this process is attractive to Councils. They don’t have to incur the expense of inspecting the building and the risk of making a wrong call.

But they have come under strong criticism from the DBH (MBIE) for not being more proactive.

The DBH determinations have consistently said that the Council should have sent their experts in to investigate the building work and identify all the defects (ie. non-compliance with the building code in force at the time of the consent), and then issued a notice to fix. The owner should then put forward a proposal (backed up by professional advice) as to how they propose to rectify the defects.

Only if the parties cannot agree on the proposed solutions, should a determination be applied for.

The Councils get some sympathy when it comes to clause B2 of the building code (durability), h o w e v e r. A l t h o u g h m o s t components of a building are supposed to last a minimum of 50 years, some (such as cladding) only have a 15 year minimum lifespan, and others (such as gutters and protective coatings) only 5 years. These periods run from the date of issue of the CCC. Where the Council is being asked to issue a CCC some 10 or 15 years after the building was completed, you can understand their reluctance to effectively guarantee the extended durability of components that might already have exceeded their intended life.

The solution adopted by the DBH (MBIE) in those cases is to retrospectively modify the original building consent by imposing a condition (pursuant to the Council’s power to modify the building code in appropriate cases) that the durability periods run from completion of the building rather than issue of the CCC. Even though the legality of that may be questionable, it is a pragmatic and common sense outcome. ²

a view from both sides Tony DeLorenzo

Decision making and footware slogans

P

eople are different. This is a good thing from a design point of view as it creates an industry for us. No two people are the same and no solution fits all which is why most kitchens made in New Zealand are bespoke.

The New Zealand kitchen design and manufacture industry is geared to this with a huge number of kitchen designers, both in house and independent, being employed.

Production floors can cope easily with one off designs and apart from some big box hardware companies I do not know of a company that provides an off the shelf kitchen option.

On the many property ladder shows the Living Channel screen I am amazed at how, err ... affordable some kitchens can be. £5000 (NZ$9,995) for an installed kitchen, with stone top, island, soft close drawers, tap, and splashback! Yikes! How do they make any money? Well it does help when there is a population of 64 million in the same area as the central north island, and 90% of houses are exactly the same. With all these identical looking houses is it any wonder a drunken Kiwi on his OE can stagger into the wrong house, and crawl into bed with an attractive blond at 4am. Well that’s my excuse, officer... and I’m sticking to it! Moving on.

It is only when you see the price for a truly bespoke kitchen in England that you realise how competitive our products are. Add to that the care, quality and skill of New Zealand joiners, and you see that what the average punter gets here is actually great value.

But then comes the hard part. Bespoke and custom means that the choices quickly become overwhelming. Multiply the number of laminate options available by the number of handles you can purchase, by all the benchtop and splashback options and you quickly get to a number Stephen Hawking would struggle to get his head around. Strangely enough Mr Hawking’s kitchen is quite simple.

We all have favourites and this does help reduce the options. A suggested standard handle, bowl or tap help keep the decision making process simple and faster. I understand that keeping choices down helps the client and the designer but I have seen cases where this is taken too far. Hearing a client say they were told that it was impossible to get a painted kitchen, or that granite cannot be mitred is disappointing.

Some quite real options have been taken away

and worse, these people are now telling their friends what can and can’t be done in kitchens.

Coming up with a package helps. One my favourite Debra stories involved a couple who could not agree on anything, and so constantly compromised. So when presented with 2 colour schemes, a dark, a light, and boring mid scheme, one went for the light and one went for the dark option. Debra, predicting that they would eventually compromise on the boring mid option quickly jumped in and said “well neither of you like the mid scheme, so clearly you won’t be choosing this option.” And took it off the table. Eventually they agreed on the dark option and lived happily ever after.

The hardest thing about progress is making a decision when you have so many options.

However unless you make a commitment you end up running around in circles and getting nowhere. How many of you have had clients hanging around for years not wanting to commit, only to find when they do pay a deposit they want the finished product yesterday? Or having agonised over what handle to have for months they forget what they chose and are surprised with what is installed?

Good or bad the worse decision you can make is to wait and see. Opportunities get missed, or you end up rushing to finish a project as you have spent the bulk of the time deciding whether or not to proceed. There will always be problems and issues but more often than not they get solved, or most times never eventuate.

John Banks once Quoted Robert Muldoon as saying to him “Don’t worry about what could go wrong. 90% of the time is doesn’t happen, and if it does, half the time it isn’t as bad as you think it will be.” Perhaps he may not appreciate that advice at the moment, but there is strong element of truth to what Mr Muldoon said.

If an opportunity arises do take the time to think about it but don’t think too long. Either say yes and get on with it or say no and use the time you spent agonising over what to do in a more productive area.

Righty ho! I am off to watch the Hurricanes play at the stadium. When I got the tickets they were on sale and the forecast was for good weather. Now it is about to rain, but I have a coat that can keep the rain and wind out. As Nike says “Just Do It” ² JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 75

BCITO NAGs and the Specialist Trades Review

A

s most industry members are aware the Joinery ITO merged with the BCITO and Decorate/FloorNZ at the start of the year. Over the last four years the merging of ITOs has seen thirty eight organisations condensed into twelve. A key part of any merger is ensuring respective industries have a clear ‘voice’ in the new arrangements. For joinery this was no different. The BCITO has addressed this through a series of National Advisory Groups (NAGs) which are linked directly to the BCITO Board of Directors via the Chief Executive.

The main function of a NAG is to provide advice to the BCITO to achieve its legislated responsibilities and other objectives. Each specialist trade has its own NAG which will advise the BCITO on developing what industry requires in terms of: qualification reviews; support for employers and learners; assessment and moderation; and off-job training (if applicable).

Joinery is fortunate to have a strong group of industry people who are able to provide collaborative advice to the BCITO. The BCITO Board has very quickly set the ball rolling and requested staff conducts a review of training under the scope of existing specialist trades and those that merged at the start of 2014. This large review project is very timely because it comes when three different ITO systems are blending into one and also coincides with projected increases in business activity across the sector. As you will see from the discussion below, the review aims to highlight successful and challenging aspects of the various training systems at present and also consider how these may need to be shaped to meet future demands.

The objectives of the Review of Specialist Trades are to: 1. Examine how the current training systems align with the qualification landscape and lead to the achievement of graduate outcomes that have high industry value.

2. Ensure the BCITO has a clearly articulated vision of the short and long term purposes of each training system.

3. Consider appropriate changes (if any) to the present training systems to achieve the recommended outcomes of the review.

The first phase of the Review has involved a series of meetings within the BCITO, including field staff. It was particularly pleasing to note the level of engagement and thoughtfulness that staff brought to these discussions.

The initial output of this activity has been the identification of a series of aspects of each training system that need to be considered by industry, which is where the National Advisory Group (NAG) come in.

ITOs through a broad range of opportunities for the people who count the most – our employers and trainees.

The first part of the Review is a process whereby we ‘lift the lid’ on what we do and collectively ask probing questions about, the challenges we have faced, how we have responded to these, the progress we have made, and the journeys we are still on. This is about thinking critically about what we do, why we do it and how we can be even better.

purposes of each dynamic training system. This is the opportunity to consider short term challenges and long term opportunities.

Clearly this opportunity must rely on meaningful engagement with industry about their views of the direction and value proposition of training. The forthcoming Joinery NAG meeting is a key part of that process. As such, the Review part of the meeting will focus specifically on how the BCITO training system is working for your industry.

Regards

However, the Review has to do more than tell us what we have right now. Accordingly, the Review proposes to look towards the future through the

Greg Durkin Group Manager, Specialist Trades BCITO

The Review purposefully focuses on examining the efficacy of the training systems as they relate to achievement of qualifications. The achievement of qualifications is the common reference point for our industries, our learners, Ministers of the Crown and government agencies. They are one of the important currencies in which achievement is measured. While there is a considerable amount of complexity that underpins that achievement, BCITO training systems need to be enabling for those who use them - to have clear pathways to well sign posted goals, and above all - deliver value. The BCITO is committed to continuing the excellent work undertaken by the three merging

Laminex NZ - Trade Essentials Cabinet Backing

Panel Size 2440 x 1220 Panel Thickness 3, 4 & 4.75mm Colour White Substrate MDF Finish Matt

JOINERS Magazine June 2014 page 86

Laminex New Zealand has launched Trade Essentials Cabinet Backing.

Trade Essentials Cabinet Backing is a thin MDF decorative panel suitable for cabinet backing and drawer liners. This type of product has been used in other parts of the world in these applications for a number of years, proving its suitability and wearability.

Category Manager Teresa Walsh said: “We are now able to give our customers a complete panel offer. Our kitchen manufacturers and joiners no longer have to source from two separate suppliers - they can get their drawer lining and cabinet backing panels from Laminex New Zealand at the same time as they purchase their carcass and colour board. This will make it much easier for our customers plus they can rely on our excellent national distribution network and customer service.”

Expressions of interest are sought from persons able to represent a comprehensive range of hardware products to joiners, builders, door prehangers, architects and developers in both the Lower North Island and the South Island. Unique Hardware has served the joinery industry since 1998 with a comprehensive suite of hardware products. The company is New Zealand agent for Centor folding and sliding door hardware and is experiencing good growth and prospects. Changes in the industry and a growing demand for timber joinery mean this is an exciting time.
