In the ever-evolving world of residential construction, builders need more than just quality materials — they need a supplier who understands their process, responds quickly, and consistently delivers on promises. That’s why Kai Konstruct, a leading builder of architectural homes and renovations in Southeast Queensland, continues to partner with Platinum Timber & Ply. 

In one of their recent builds, Kai Konstruct selected Platinum “R” Floor, our innovative structural insulated panel flooring system, to deliver a faster, smarter solution for their subfloor.  This innovative subfloor solution proved to be the ideal fit for the high-end, custom nature of their projects, offering not only strength and reliability, but also critical construction efficiencies. For residential construction companies like Kai Konstruct, choosing the right materials is more than a technical decision — it’s a strategic one. And the team at Platinum “R” Floor continues to exceed expectations. 

“They’re great to deal with — friendly team, always happy to help out, and they’ve got a good understanding of what we need and how we like to work,” says Tim from Kai Konstruct. That understanding has been built over the last 3 to 4 years, with Platinum Timber & Ply becoming one of their most trusted suppliers. 

Why Platinum “R” Floor? 

Platinum “R” Floor is a Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) flooring system isn’t just another flooring product — it’s a fully engineered system that simplifies and strengthens the residential building process. Its benefits go far beyond its immediate performance on site: 

• Time-Saving Installation 
  With pre-formed set downs for wet areas, builders avoid the time-consuming task of modifying joists to create appropriate fall for floor wastes and tile beds. This streamlines installation and ensures compliance with waterproofing standards. 
• Strong and Lightweight 
  Despite its strength and rigidity, Platinum “R” Floor is lightweight and easy to handle — ideal for raised homes, sloping sites, and two-storey builds where traditional systems add unnecessary complexity and labour costs. 
• Thermal Performance 
  Built-in insulation means the floor system helps regulate indoor temperature, reducing the energy load on heating and cooling systems — a clear advantage in Queensland’s variable climate. 
• Cleaner, Quieter Living Spaces 
  Acoustic properties are another unsung benefit. The design of the Platinum “R” Floor helps reduce sound transmission between floors — something today’s homeowners are increasingly prioritising. 
• Eco-Friendly Credentials 
  Manufactured using sustainable practices and materials, Platinum “R” Floor aligns with the growing demand for greener construction methods — something forward-thinking residential builders are actively embracing. 

Tim explains, “We use their flooring and a lot of their structural ply — they’ve got great stock availability, and the quality is always consistent.” This consistency is crucial in the custom home market, where timelines are tight and expectations are high. 

Building Trust Through Reliability 

For Kai Konstruct, the value of Platinum Timber & Ply extends far beyond the materials. “The biggest thing for us is the reliability. When we need something onsite, it’s there when they say it’s going to be there,” says Tim. Our focus on logistics and communication helps builders like Kai Konstruct stay on track, minimising downtime and delays. 

Even when challenges arise, the process is seamless. “If there’s ever an issue, they’ll call us, keep us in the loop, and we work it out quickly,” he adds. It’s this proactive and solution-oriented service that has made the partnership with Platinum Timber & Ply so successful.
