Environmental Calculator
Calculate the impact you're making. Every home built with a timber frame contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and captures carbon from the atmosphere.
Our Environmental Calculator quantifies the carbon dioxide sequestered by the average Australian home, so that you can better understand of your positive environmental contribution.

Nature's Carbon Guardian
Every choice we make matters. By selecting timber as your preferred building material, you become a guardian of the planet. Trees, the source of timber, act as silent actors against climate change, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locking it away within their fibres. With each timber frame, you contribute to this vital carbon capture, playing your role in reducing the carbon footprint of your project.

Good For The Planet
The journey from forest to framework is an eco-conscious endeavour. Unlike conventional building materials, timber manufacturing is energy efficient and benefits from the use of biofuels. This process consumes significantly less energy compared to some alternatives, conserving precious resources, and minimising greenhouse gas emissions. By incorporating timber, you align your project with a sustainable future, where innovation and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
