About Us 

Specialised Timber Fabrication is a company at the forefront of timber fabrication, using the latest in engineered wood and panel products to manufacture timber for highly specialised designs. Over a decade of distinctive projects showcase our capabilities using sawn timber, Glulam, CLT, LVL and plywood to produce innovative and striking structural timber systems including but not limited to Masslam, box sections, panelised, modular, freeform, post-and-beam and trusses.  

In collaboration with TGA Engineers, Specialised Timber Fabrication provides an integrated engineering service to complement our fabricated timber components, including foundations, steel, concrete and masonry. This ability to combine the knowledge of engineering and practicality of fabrication ensures that the design intent flows through all aspects of the structure and that projects of all sizes and complexities are designed effectively and efficiently. 

Our in-house detailing and CNC processing allows for consistent, precise fabrication with millimetre accuracy and intricate detailing. CNC fabrication allows for 5-axis milling which can produce 3D shapes for solid timber sections as well as assembled systems like roof and floor cassettes, box beams and trusses. These pre-fabricated pieces are transported to site for quick assembly, reducing construction time, labour and cost, as well as the impact of construction on the surrounding community. 

With extensive knowledge and experience in the timber construction industry, Specialised Timber Fabrication is passionate about the benefits of timber construction and is focused on bringing distinctive and original timber designs to life. We look to involve ourselves in projects that highlight the natural aesthetic appeal of timber and promote it as a sustainable, safe and strong construction alternative.

Why Choose Wood?

SUSTAINABILITY

With research pointing overwhelmingly to the impact that Carbon Dioxide emissions have on our planet, timber shines through as the greenest building material. Timber is the only primary structural material that is a true renewable resource and through sustainable forest practices we can ensure that the environmental impact is minimized. Not only does timber store carbon for its service life but also requires significantly less energy to produce, ensuring we can pass on our earth to the next generation with a clear conscience. Chain of custody certification also ensures that the timber we use is part of the sustainable forestry practices, ensuring the loop is closed on timber renewability. 

STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES

Naturally, wood has excellent inherent structural properties. Engineered Wood Products such as LVL provide strong, consistent, durable and dimensionally stable sections that ensure a cost-effective solution for a wide variety of structural applications including beams, columns, walls, floors, and roof systems. Timber has a formidable strength-to-weight ratio 20% higher than structural steel andfour to five times that of unreinforced concrete in compression.
