Website

We are by far New Zealand’s largest supplier of solid hardwood structural timbers and beams. Our capabilities include solid timbers up to 400 x 400 thick and up to 12.0m long whilst also offering custom fabrication solutions.

We have an abundant source of reclaimed and sustainable hardwood timbers available for any project whether it be for a commercial project or a residential pergola. We can literally provide you with any custom length/dimension your project requires. These beams also come with structural certification to a minimum of F27 up to F34. This certification is supplied by your New Zealand based engineer who will use this structural rating in their calculations to work our spans/dimensions etc.

Timber trusses can be provided in a pre-manufactured form ready for re-assembling on site once they arrive in New Zealand whilst being made to the architect’s specifications. We also offer laminated beams if required to meet clients' architectural needs.

About the
Seller

Passionate about sustainability, LMA Timber offers a superior selection of hardwood products tailored for the construction industry. We have collaborated carefully selected Australian Hardwood suppliers in Australia, all recipients of numerous awards for their commitment to delivering high-quality reclaimed and sustainable timber.

Established in 2017, our business originated from inspiration drawn from a Grand Designs episode featuring reclaimed Australian hardwood cladding. A subsequent investigation revealed that the main timber cladding options in New Zealand primarily consisted of high-maintenance softwoods (class 2 – 15 to 40 years naturally durable), such as cedar, larch, and thermally modified products. The discovered hardwood, distinguished by its superior performance, durability, low maintenance, and sustainable attributes, marked the beginning of our success story. Today, architects, designers, and builders widely regard it as their number one choice for not only cladding but structural beams, posts, decking, flooring amongst other hardwood products.

In October 2019 when LMA Timber joined forces with the Caldwell Group (AKA Trade Co), owners of ITM Dyers Road, VIP Frame and Truss amongst other businesses. With a combined experience of 40 years, this partnership enhances our market position, allowing us to provide unparalleled value and service to our customers. Regarded as being the largest and most trusted supplier of reclaimed / sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods, our reputation is firmly enforced by the prestigious projects we have been involved with around New Zealand

Our main warehouse along with purpose built showroom is based in Christchurch.  This allows us to carry large volumes of stock (particularly cladding and decking) so that we can meet your projects needs in a timely fashion. Our second purpose built showroom is currently under construction and will be opened towards the end of April 2024. Additionally, we share a showroom in Auckland with High Performer Building where a sample of our products can also be viewed.
