We are one of the very few companies in NZ that can supply a wide range of Wharf / Jetty / Marina Hardwood timbers. From rough sawn walers to 250 to 400 SED piles up to 20m long to jetty planking we can supply whatever the project requires for marine hardwoods. This includes various treatments including H5, H6.
Various class (durability) of timber and structural requirements can be requested up to F34.
Pricing is very competitive due to our direct access with the limited amount of mills that now actually process marine / jetty timber along with access to various shipping / freight companies to ensure we can deliver the most cost effective price for our clients.
A wide scope of use but in particular Wharves, Jetty's, Marina's, docks or any marine environment.
Hardwood will generally be class 1 - 40 year plus natural durability out of ground and treated to the requirement of the project - i.e. H5 / H6 and come with certification. The hardwood is generally rough sawn, unseasoned timber from various sizes right up to 400 x 400 and 11.8m in length. Piles vary in sizes to from 250 SED to 400SED and up to 20m long. Timber will be supplied to the applicable Australian Standards.
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.
