In brief LOGGO is the world’s newest, greenest, flooring and portal frame building system.
It has been designed with all the key attributes of cost-effectiveness, durability, versatility, life expectancy as well as its innate fire and earthquake resistance in mind. LOGGO employs renewable timber resources in a very low cost, minimal impact engineered timber solution.
The end result is a product with comparable structural properties to more high tech conventional glue laminated timbers without the associated environmental impacts and technical costs.

To PROMOTE REGIONALIZATION by BUILDING HOUSES and CREATING WORK for RURAL WORKERS WHERE THEY ALREADY LIVE is one of the GREATEST CHALLENGES FACING MANKIND
THE LOGGO CONCEPT IS A MASSIVE AS-YET-TO-BE RECOGNISED REGIONALIZATION TOOL that will do just that.
It should be democratized and open sourced so that smaller companies and entities can take advantage of this low tech idea in their regional localities.
ATTENTION PLY COMPANIES and VENEER MANUFACTURERS: For those dynamic companies willing to add to their core business structure and generate even greater profits, then you are the companies that should seize this world first business opportunity in creating a virtual new business - see PEELER CORES.

BUT EVEN NEWER:
Loggo earlier filed a provisional patent for Apparatus and Method of Connecting Timber Flanges on 27.06.16 ( Australian Provisional Patent Application 2016902510 ) which allows us to build multi - rise residential, commercial, government buildings etc. up to 8 storeys in Australia. This is in concert with the new building code for tall timber buildings. Indeed, this new building juggernaut is being led worldwide by the use of Cross Laminated Timber ( CLT) but we see that we can do the same for similar or less costs at a much faster rate with our very new and innovative Column and Beam construction method using our already patented Multi Logs.
WHERE ARE WE AT NOW?:
We have just now, 29.01.2017 filed a full International Patent PCT/AU2017/050073 Apparatus and Method of Connecting Timber Flanges.
And we have just successfully tested a flooring cassette of some 4.8m Joists with 4m Bearers made exclusively from Peeler Cores. The joists and bearers are brought to site in stick form, very rapidly bolted together in a jig and craned into position. This system has many advantages over trucking pre-fabricated cassettes/modules to sight ( cassette size limitation, no trucks waiting, speed of assembly - is quicker than crane loading time etc). This speed of erection allows for a 500m+ full storey ( incl. Columns) to be erected in a day and reduces the Preliminaries costs. This is more than an exciting innovation and promises to cut Upper Floor costs substantially as the Loggo Column System does away with the load bearing walls for the Internal Floors.
WHAT DOES THIS DO?
It allows us to offer a new, unique, very green, and very, very cost-effective, viable column and beam building system whereby the
most suitable Venturers will be ideally placed to effectively compete with CLT as well as concrete and steel in this soon to be burgeoning
market ( see NEWS). Also its versatility allows it to be used as a lower cost alternative floor system when combined with such building modalities.

WHAT IS LOGGO?
Loggo is our process of taking small diameter true round plantation logs (pine generally but it can be any other suitable species) and laminating them along their longitudinal axis into I-Logs® (I-beams) and Lamilog Beams® (laminated beams) which are Loggo's two patent pending products. These Loggo Beams® can then be combined together using our Join-T-Lock joining system of internal dowel pinning along and into the axis of the logs to form a versatile portal building system. All joining dowels are internally set, corrosion resistant and epoxy embedded
using a uniquely and purposefully designed glue injection system. This internal 'encapsulation' provides a joint of remarkably enhanced longevity; a joint that is unique and challenging for other timber systems to reproduce, such endeavours often resulting in clumsy, non fire rated connections. The Loggo system can be used cost-effectively to build all types of modern houses and small commercial and government buildings with trusses up to 8m. wide with standard portal bays of 2.4m. , flooring joist spacings up to 800mm. and piers/pylons at 3.6m.
