Timber Grading

Professional Grading To Australian Standards

We grade round timber (poles, piles, girders) and sawn products (structural, flooring, decking, recycled) and provide clear, independent documentation for buyers, engineers, councils and builders across NSW.

What We Grade

  • Round timber: poles, piles, cross-arms, girders
  • Sawn structural: beams, posts, joists, rafters, lintels
  • Flooring & decking: new and recycled, appearance and performance grades
  • Recycled timber: verification of species, defects and suitability for re-use

Where We Grade

  • At source: sawmills, treatment plants, suppliers’ yards
  • On site (in-situ): bridges, wharves, buildings and heritage structures
