Maximus Pedestal Systems: Revolutionizing construction with innovation
In the world of construction and architecture, the U.S. is now on the fast track to follow trends blazing the way in Europe and Australia for elevated external flooring.
A robust support system ensures structural integrity and longevity, making the choice of pedestal systems critical for builders and architects alike. Enter Maximus Pedestal Systems, a game-changing solution that has redefined the industry standards for support structures. Spearheaded by brothers Andrew and Phillip Rivelli, former tiling contractors, Maximus has taken inspiration from European designs and transformed them into a streamlined, user-friendly product that has quickly become Australia’s fastest and highest-selling pedestal system.
The visionaries behind Maximus
Andrew and Phillip Rivelli, with a passion for engineering and design, identified the frustrations of the market leading systems five years ago. Their journey began with a detailed analysis of existing products out of Europe, where complex pedestal systems were prevalent. While these European systems offered durability and performance, they were often overengineered, expensive, complicated to use, and confusing to estimate and order.
Understanding these pain points, the Revellis tasked themselves to re-imagine the traditional functionality of pedestal systems. They envisioned a product that was less expensive and combined the robustness of European designs with the simplicity and efficiency required by installers. The result was Maximus Pedestal Systems, a product line characterized by innovation, user friendliness, and superior performance.
As commercial contractors, the Rivellis grew tired of multiple-sized pedestals and the need to rely on their installers to use the correct ones. This became problematic with installers grabbing whatever they had available in arms’ reach and stacking foreign objects under the pedestals to achieve a certain height.
This is non-compliant, causes instability and can ultimately compromise the waterproof membrane installed underneath. Hence, Maximus was developed with the unique ability to adjust up to three times its original size to overcome these issues.
Redefining pedestal systems
Designed in Australia by tilers for tilers, the Maximus pedestal system provides a single solution for exterior elevated floors. It’s the most innovative pedestal that can be used on all external installations. The simplicity and functionality of this system is to make the job less expensive, easier and more efficient.
The company claims the Maximus triple screw thread technology outperforms most other products on the market, and boasts the smallest range of products with the greatest adjustment, replacing up to a dozen products of its competitors.
With the mantra “Less is More,” Maximus Junior is adjustable from 3/4″ – 1-3/4″ and Maximus Senior is adjustable from 1-3/4″ – 5-3/4″. The addition of modular 4″ extenders complete an entirely adjustable system up to 40″ high.
Key features of Maximus pedestal systems
1. Adjustable height: Maximus pedestals can be easily adjusted to accommodate uneven surfaces, making them ideal for both residential and commercial projects. This superior adjustment range significantly reduces the amount of multiple sized products needed and time spent on leveling, allowing for quicker installations.
2. Durability and weather resistance: Made from high-quality materials, Maximus pedestals are designed to withstand harsh climates. This durability ensures that structures remain secure and stable over a long period of time.
3. Less is more: TheMaximus system with only three products makes estimating and ordering easy. It eliminates incorrect or over ordering, and reduces dead stock to zero.
The impact of Maximus in Australia
Since its launch, Maximus Pedestal Systems has rapidly gained popularity among tiling contractors, builders, architects, and landscapers across Australia. The user-friendly design and innovative features have made it the go-to choice for a variety of projects, from residential patios to commercial developments.
One of the standout projects featuring Maximus systems was the construction of a high-profile Marriott Hotel in Melbourne. Maximus pedestals not only met the design requirements but also facilitated an efficient build timeline, allowing the project to stay on schedule and within budget.
Changing the landscape of construction
The success of Maximus Pedestal Systems has not only changed the way builders approach pedestal installations but has also influenced the broader landscape of construction in Australia. By prioritizing simplicity and efficiency, Andrew and Phillip Rivelli have inspired a movement towards more innovative and practical building solutions.
Their commitment to continuous improvement means that Maximus is not resting on its laurels. The Rivelli brothers are dedicated to evolving their product line to suit the U.S. market, incorporating feedback from users and staying ahead of industry trends. This proactive approach ensures that Maximus remains at the forefront of pedestal system technology.
