meet the founder, brad stokell
Born and raised in Taranaki, Brad has been building for over 20 years in New Zealand and Australia, specializing in managing high end residential builds. Job after job, Brad noticed the struggle of keeping frames level with timber bracing. Frames often shifted after nailing, requiring re-leveling and creating extra work. The waste from timber bracing was also significant, with warping and twisting after use, forcing it to be cut up for smaller tasks. Brad searched for a brace to solve this issue but couldn’t find one, so he decided to design his own. NextLevel Bracing is the result, a smarter, more efficient solution for builders.
