Built into the system, not added later

Design and technical integration are not standalone services. They form part of the Beattie Build System when it is specified.

This means that:

  • Performance targets are considered from the earliest stage
  • Structural and thermal strategies are aligned
  • Detailing supports airtightness and continuity
  • Design intent is carried through to manufacture and installation

This integrated approach ensures that performance is not dependent on interpretation during construction.

Working alongside your project team

Beattie works collaboratively with architects, engineers and consultants to translate design intent into a buildable, performance-led solution.

This includes:

  • Coordinating with architectural layouts and constraints
  • Aligning structural design with the timber frame system
  • Integrating the structural thermal envelope into the design
  • Supporting compliance and certification requirements

The goal is not to replace the design team, but to ensure that the system is correctly integrated within it.

From concept to technical design

Once the system is specified, Beattie develops the technical design package required to support manufacture and delivery.

This includes:

  • System-specific technical design
  • Performance-led detailing of junctions and interfaces
  • Structural coordination
  • Integration of insulation and airtightness strategy
  • Alignment with Passivhaus principles

This stage bridges the gap between architectural concept and build-ready information.

Supporting performance through modelling and assessment

To ensure that performance targets are achieved, the design process is supported by modelling and assessment.

This may include:

  • Thermal modelling
  • Energy calculations
  • Overheating assessment
  • Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP)
  • SAP assessment (where required)

These tools provide a clear understanding of how the building will perform before construction begins.

Reducing risk through coordinated detailing

One of the most common causes of performance failure is poor detailing at junctions and interfaces.

The Beattie system addresses this through:

  • Standardised, performance-led details
  • Clear integration of structure, insulation and airtightness
  • Coordination across all building elements
  • Defined installation requirements

This reduces reliance on site-based decision making and improves consistency across projects.

Designed for manufacture and installation

Technical design is developed with manufacturing and installation in mind.

This ensures that:

  • Components can be produced accurately
  • On-site assembly is efficient and predictable
  • Interfaces between elements are clearly defined
  • Performance is maintained through construction

By aligning design with delivery, the system reduces complexity and improves build certainty.

Supporting certification and compliance

Where projects are targeting Passivhaus or other performance standards, Beattie supports the design process to align with certification requirements.

This includes:

  • Providing the necessary technical information
  • Supporting independent verification processes
  • Ensuring that design and detailing meet required standards

This structured approach provides confidence that performance targets can be achieved and evidenced.

A coordinated approach to performance

The strength of the Beattie Build System lies in its ability to bring together design, structure and performance into a single, coordinated approach.

By integrating technical capability within the system, Beattie ensures that:

  • Design intent is preserved
  • Performance targets are supported
  • Risk is reduced across the project lifecycle

Designed to perform. Delivered with confidence.

The Design & Technical Capability behind the Beattie Build System provides the foundation for reliable, high-performance construction.

It ensures that every project starts with a clear, coordinated and performance-led design — ready for manufacture, installation and verification.
