The Prolam Specifier. Specify with Certainty

The Prolam Specifier is an efficient and reliable tool for designing structural timber elements.
Covering a wide range of the most common structural members,
the Specifier allows you to adjust design parameters to zero in on the right solution for your project. It also allows you to design members with spans and load dimensions beyond the scope of NZS3604, obtain PS1 Certification and save projects and calculations for easy reference from project to project. Desktop, tablet and mobile-friendly, the Prolam Specifier puts precise product specification at your fingertips.

Fast, accurate beam specification for residential and commercial projects.

Radiata Pine can be specified in H1.2, H3.2 and H5 for in-ground posts.

Specify two structural grades in glulam: PL8 & PL12 providing size options depending on the space available for the beam. PLX20 is also available for specification for a range of situations.

Caters for variances in roof height caused by product type, thickness of ceiling plasterboard or additions such as solar panels. You can also allow for the extra high wind zone recently added to the Building Code.

Software includes deflection and capacity ratios. Shift a point load to exactly where it will be on the beam and The Prolam Specifier will adjust the results to suit. Also defines the long-term deflection a beam will settle out at.
