A cutting-edge Triboard Project – Parkwood Estate
By Juken New Zealand Ltd
Parkwood Estate stands out as a ground breaking architecturally designed development featuring 64 state-of-the-art terraced houses with 2-3 bedrooms each. A pivotal player in the New Zealand Building Systems and World Wide Building Manufacturing Project (WWBM), the Triboard wall system employed here is revolutionizing the landscape of housing construction with its evolving innovation.
In the realm of housing panel advancements, the Triboard system at Parkwood Estate is setting new benchmarks, characterized by speed, strength, and adaptability. Lloyd Parrant, the mind behind Triboard at NZ Building Systems, boasts over three decades of innovation. Collaborating closely, the two companies are ushering in a new era of Triboard innovation and engineering, with a firm commitment to speed, strength, and uncompromised quality. The three level construction of this Triboard housing project is a first and an engineering feat to be proud of. Dive deeper into Lloyd's insights by checking out his full interview with Peter Wolfkamp in the linked video.
ASC Architects, a multi-award-winning firm, joined forces with Lloyd Parrant and his team to craft top-tier offsite Triboard modular construction systems, emphasizing speed and efficiency. This Triboard ecosystem ensures high dimension stability, facilitating the offsite construction of kitchens and bathrooms with seamless on-site installations. Rigorously tested and certified by Branz Appraisal, the Triboard housing panel system streamlines the approval process with councils, according to Logan Hooi, Director of ASC, and his team.
WWBM, under the direction of Wade Xi, took charge of all off –site and on-site construction. Describing the experience of working with the Triboard panel system as akin to assembling furniture, Xi highlights the straightforward process facilitated by clear instructions, resulting in a swift and hassle-free construction.
Triboard structural housing panels, boasting a thickness of 36mm, and intertenancy walls at 38mm, not only provide robust structural support but also grant each unit an additional 6% of living space. The standardized size of Triboard panels enables a remarkable 2800mm ceiling height, making smaller spaces at Parkwood Estate feel more expansive and open. Triboard comes in multiple
sizes and 4050 x 2505 x 18mm was used in the ceiling and flooring cassettes along with
2400 x 1200 x 15mm.
For an in-depth exploration of the Triboard construction at Parkwood Estate, watch the video featuring Peter Wolfkamp discussing:
· Accelerated construction without compromising strength and durability
· Branz Appraised fire and acoustic performance
· 6% increase in floor space
· Triboard portal wall system replacing traditional steel portals for time and cost savings
· Off-site construction of floor and ceiling cassettes for quicker assembly
And much more!

Welcome to Juken New Zealand Ltd (“JNL”). We are a New Zealand (“NZ”) based and registered company with a growing global outreach. We have been heavily involved with the NZ forestry and wood-processing industries for the past 25 years – manufacturing advanced and innovative wood products from selectively planted, managed and harvested Radiata Pine for local and export markets. In that time we have become important economic and cultural contributors to the local communities within which we operate.
We have sustainably managed and certified plantation forests in the Northland, East Coast and Wairarapa regions of NZ’s North Island. In those same locations, we have four modern, efficient and environmentally clean wood processing mills. We employ nearly 700 people and obtain goods and services from several hundred suppliers.
Research and development are important to us, and we also benefit from the technology and resources of our Japan-based parent company WoodOne Ltd- a major international housing materials and componentry company – which has invested over $NZ700 million into our Company and NZ.
All of which means that in an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.
WHAT WE DO
We make a wide range of engineered wood Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Panels and Solid Wood Products – for structural and non-structural purposes, for external or internal uses, and for appearance or non-appearance finishes.
All of it from trees that we plant, care for and harvest on a sustainable basis to ensure that you receive the very best products for your requirements. If we do not have the right trees we obtain them from other carefully selected sustainable sources. So we are closely involved and “hands-on” all the way through from the tree seed to the finished product. And in a way that is sensitive to the social needs and ecosystems within which we live, work and play.
Our forests are certified and managed according to internationally-recognised environmental standards – FSC®and ISO. They are immaculate. They provide the very best of raw materials to our wood processing mills which are also certified and managed according to international standards – including FSC®, ISO and EWPAA. Through innovative processes and skilled staff, our mills transform our harvested trees into high-quality products – products that are reliable and durable, that perform, and that can
be trusted.
Our range of products is wide and varied, but we are not limited to “off-the-shelf” solutions. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our current range then ask us about custom-made options to suit your exact needs. Such requests fit comfortably with our philosophy, and because we own the process from start to finish we will always try to meet your needs.
It is yet another reason why discerning customers who seek and demand the natural benefits of wood choose Juken New Zealand Ltd for top quality engineered and solid wood products.
