Timber is a proven and popular framing material that provides comfort and security for hundreds of thousands of Australian homes.
It is a sustainable, renewable product that we are proud to promote and we support our extensive professional national network of timber fabricators.
Timber house frames are responsibly sourced and store carbon for life, absorbed from the atmosphere by a growing tree. When timber for framing is harvested today it’s replanted for tomorrow.
That’s why timber is the ultimate framing material.
Timber is the only building material that helps tackle climate change
As experienced and trusted builders, they use only timber for the wall frames and roof trusses in the homes they build. They use timber because of its versatility, ease of use, stability and environmental benefits.
Market data shows that offsite timber framing design and manufacture for wall frames, roof trusses and floor and ceiling cassettes is increasingly replacing traditional on-site stick construction. The growing demand for pre-fabricated framing is due to the many advantages, including; accuracy, safety, efficiency and speed to construct.
Today, you have the advantages of access to a national network of timber fabricators with experience built over many years of providing the products and services you need, when you need them to.
