The Challenge

•  The temple roof structure was complex in geometry and detailing, requiring accurate timber cutting and assembly
•  Multiple stakeholders were involved (architect, engineer, fabricator, carpenters, builder), which required strong coordination and clear communication
•  Large number of trusses, brackets and plates needed precise detailing and shop drawings to avoid site issues
•  Risk of clashes between structural elements if not identified early
•  Ensuring the supply of correct fasteners and fittings on time to keep construction progressing smoothly

Left: Reference model of the temple created from scratch to detect clashes, assist with coordination, generate timber cutting lists and produce shop drawings for bracket manufacturing.
Right: Supplied brackets and fasteners being installed on trusses.

The Solution

•  Prepared accurate and comprehensive cutting lists for the timber roof members to support efficient fabrication
•  Produced detailed shop drawings for truss brackets, plates and connections to guide manufacturing and on-site installation
•  Supplied the required fasteners and fittings, ensuring timely availability for construction
•  Conducted thorough clash identification, resolving issues before fabrication and installation
•  Coordinated effectively with architects, engineers, fabricator and carpenters to align details and minimise on-site problems
•  Acted as Multinail’s representative throughout the project, providing consistent technical detailing and support

Right: Apex Brackets installed on trusses.

The Outcome

•  Successful completion of the complex temple roof structure with high accuracy
•  Clear cutting lists and shop drawings reduced errors, delays and rework on-site
•  Early clash identification minimised construction issues and improved efficiency
•  Fastener supply ensured uninterrupted progress during construction
•  Positive recognition from architects, engineers, fabricator and carpenters for the quality of detailing and coordination
•  Strengthened Multinail’s reputation as a reliable partner in specialty and high-detail projects

Key Takeaways

•  Multinail provides accurate detailing, cutting lists, shop drawings and fastener supply to support complex projects
•  Proactive clash identification helps avoid on-site issues and keeps construction on track
•  Strong coordination across multiple stakeholders adds value beyond product supply
•  This project demonstrates Multinail’s capability to support unique, architecturally demanding and culturally significant builds with precision and reliability

Testimonial

“Multinail’s BIM and shop detailing expertise were critical to successfully delivering this project. Muhammad’s technical proficiency and proactive approach reduced site RFIs and virtually eliminated installation issues. I would confidently recommend Multinail for future projects requiring high-quality shop detailing of timber interfaces.”
