The site is packed with free, independent guides, case studies, and tools that make it easier to specify and promote timber. Whether you’re an architect chasing technical detail, a builder looking for compliance support, or a supplier wanting to showcase timber’s strengths—WoodSolutions is a one-stop shop.
Resources for Timber Framers
One section worth bookmarking is the Timber Framing hub. It’s designed to help builders and trades already working with timber explain its benefits to homeowners. You’ll find:
- Fact sheets, brochures, and certificates you can share with clients.
- Posters, banners, and even ready-to-use social media content.
- Clear messaging around sustainability, performance, and energy efficiency-perfect for showing clients why timber makes sense.
Why This Matters in WA
Here in Perth, double brick and steel still dominate, but the tide is turning. Housing demand, sustainability targets, and cost pressures are pushing the industry to consider smarter alternatives. Timber framing – especially with prefabrication – ticks all those boxes.
At Timber Insight, we’re proud to align with WoodSolutions. Their national resources combined with our local initiatives help WA’s builders, designers, and suppliers shift towards more sustainable, future-ready construction.
