Omni Co.

Omni Co. is a multi-disciplinary company delivering high-quality building and timber solutions across the UK. With specialist divisions in Construction, Engineered Timber, and Joinery, we offer clients a complete service — from large-scale new builds to bespoke interiors.

Each division combines technical expertise, modern methods, and a client-focused approach to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.

OVERVIEW

Omni Co’s Engineered Timber Division provides precision-engineered timber solutions that combine structural performance with sustainability. We supply and manufacture timber frame systems, roof trusses, metal web joists, and glulam structures for a variety of sectors.

SERVICES

* Timber frame systems for housing and commercial builds
* Roof trusses, from simple to complex structures
* Metal web joists offering strength, speed, and design flexibility
* Glulam beams and columns for structural and architectural applications

STRENGTHS

* In-house design and engineering expertise
* Modern manufacturing with rigorous quality control
* Sustainable and responsibly sourced timber
* Prefabricated solutions for faster, more efficient construction

TIMBER FRAME SYSTEMS

Our Timber Frame systems are custom-engineered wall and floor panels, built in factory-controlled conditions and delivered to site ready for installation. We integrate structural framing, insulation zones, routing for services, and interface details, so your on-site labour focuses on assembly, not fabrication.

Key Features

* Structural design to local building codes
* Integration of insulation, vapour control layers and airtightness detailing
* Pre-cut openings, sills, headers and lintels co-ordinated with architectural plans
* Precision tolerances that reduce site cutting, waste and errors
* Compatible with other engineered products (roof trusses, metal web joists, glulam)

Typical Uses

* Residential Housing
* Commercial Buildings
* Care Homes
* Educational Buildings
* Social Housing
* Healthcare
* Modular Housing
* Hybrid timber-steel structures

ROOF TRUSSES

Our Roof Trusses are factory-fabricated structural assemblies that support roof loads while providing predictable geometry and rapid installation. We manufacture attic trusses, standard pitched trusses, mono-pitch, and complex hip/valley trusses.

Key Features

* They reduce the need for on-site cutting, layout and waste
* Each truss is designed in specialist industry software to exact geometry
* Field time and labour onsite are greatly reduced
* Weight is optimised for structural efficiency
* Better alignment, less variation and fewer site adjustments

Design considerations and options

* Span, pitch, snow and wind loadings
* Ridge, hip, valley and gable conditions
* Bracing and restraining systems
* Integration with soffits, wall plates and ceilings
* Bearing and support conditions (masonry, timber or steel)
* Use of open-web or light-web members (especially for attic trusses)

POSI JOISTS (ENGINEERED METAL WEB JOISTS)

Our Engineered Metal-Web Joists (often referred to as Posi-Joists or “metal-web joists”) combine timber flanges with steel web members to produce a lightweight, high-performance joist ideal for both floor and roof applications.

What are Posi joists?

These are engineered joists where the top and bottom flanges are timber (solid or engineered wood) and the internal web is a steel (or similar) open-web lattice. This open-web design allows mechanical and electrical services to run through the joist cavity without cutting or drilling, saving labour and avoiding weakening the structure.

Key Advantages

* Longer spans and fewer supports reducing bearing walls or columns
* Service co-ordination allowing plumbing, heating ducts and wiring to pass through the webs
* Lightweight and easily handled therefore less load on cranes and site logistics
* Stiffness and stability for engineered performance and reduced deflection
* Material efficiency using less timber while meeting the same perfomance

Design and detailing

* Depth, web spacing and chord sizing are selected per structural load and span
* End conditions and trimming allowances are considered
* Fire performance, acoustic resilience, vibration control are possible considerations
* Handling, bracing and on-site storage procedures must be adhered to
* Joist spacing, nodal bracing (stongback) and lateral restraint must be co-ordinated

Typical Uses

* Residential Housing
* Commercial Buildings
* Care Homes
* Educational Buildings
* Social Housing
* Healthcare
* Modular Housing
* Hybrid timber-steel structures
* Mezzanine Floors
