Who are we
and how are we organized.......
BALI WOOD HOUSES
is a partner
in a local joint venture comprising
four companies. The joint venture was established in the year 2000
together with BWTC (Bali World Trading Co.), Bali Timber World and
Bali Timber Houses (*) Since its start the joint venture has grown
rapidly to become one of the foremost manufacturers in Prefab Houses
in Indonesia of
engineered Prefabricated Wooden Houses and Prefab custom made Houses and Villas,
in particular for Bali style Prefab Houses, Bali style Bungalows and Gazebos.
We can also supply Log Cabins and Log Homes and Tree Houses. We have a staff of architects, professional
engineers and site supervisors to guarantee that our product has the
required structural integrity and remains of the quality you expect,
whether it is low cost or high-end.
(*) P.T. Bali Woodworld is the holding
partner, Bali Timber World is responsible for the engineering and produces the
main structures for our Prefab Bali Houses. Bali Timber Houses merely
concentrates on the fabrication of Bali style gazebos, sidings and
flooring and wooden cabinets. BWTC
(Bali World Trading Co) produces the doors and windows for our prefab
houses.
What are we capable of.......
The Bali Prefab Houses are either designed in Bali style or
may be designed following a client's concept (custom or tailor made).
We fabricate Timber Knockdown Houses in the range from small huts, cottages, ECO style
houses to bungalows and villas
for the up-market, Log Cabins and Log
Homes (on special request), and Tree Houses. Bali Gazebos are available
in many sizes and choices of material.
Bali
Wood Houses and its partners are bringing a new high end
quality to the class of residential construction. Each of our
Prefab Houses (Bali
Knockdown Houses, Log Cabins, etc ) and
Bali Gazebos is solely made from Tropical Hardwoods. We fabricate our Prefab Houses and Gazebos
like fine furniture without the use of one nail (except for the low
cost budget option, which uses some nails).
Experience and market.......
Being the first in Bali introducing and producing fully
engineered Bali Timber Houses and Bali Gazebos following a unique
in-house developed prefab concept, based on 40-years of experience in
the Prefab Houses timber world we designed and exported our products to
Hawaii (Oahu, Big Island, Maui,
Kauai), the
Caribbean (US Virgin Islands, Barbados, Bahamas, St. Martin,
Sta. Lucia, Cayman islands), the Pacific
(Fiji islands, Tonga), South Africa, Panama,
Turkey, Qatar, Greece......and the end is not in sight. New
developments in Costa Rica, Honduras,
Colombia,
Australia, India.
Quality and engineering,
hurricanes, earthquakes.........
It is a misconception to believe that
a Prefabricated Wooden House is a simple structure comprising an integrated
system of wooden beams, trusses, sidings and floors connected to each
other with bolts and screws. It is by far the beauty of the Bali style Knockdown House
and the quality of the materials used that counts, instead it is for a great deal the structural integrity
which is of paramount importance. In respect to
this we would like to alert our visitors that any wooden prefab structure is extremely
sensitive for unbalance (in engineering terms:
stability). This is mainly caused by the hinged inter-connections
between beams, columns and trusses. A Wooden
Prefab House
may be strong enough to safely absorb vertical loads, but may easily collapse due
to its - often overlooked - hidden lateral instability. Under
lateral loads such as high winds or an earthquake force any prefab
house may disintegrate when the horizontal stability of the
structure is too low.
This is the professional engineering area where our staff gained 40 years of
International design experience. One should feel safe when a storm passes
[1,
2] or an
earthquake occurs [3]. All of the designs
for houses to be built in cyclone areas
are based on the latest USA codes (IBC 2009)
and include standard wind loads or full hurricane and earthquake analyses where applicable.
