Timber is a mainstay of almost any construction project, from major works to a minor renovation. Wood is used in the foundations and also to put beautiful doors and window frames together. There’s no point just diving straight in with a building project. People need to do their research first, analyse the budget and then find a timber merchant who can help them.
Wood is timeless, beautiful and durable. It’s quality can vary enormously. It just depends on what people have to spend. Merchants source and prepare timber ready for customers to take away. Customers wants to deal with experts, merchants who really know their stuff. Choosing a merchant is a major decision.
Factors to consider include the quality of sheet cutting. Some merchants will have cutting edge software and deploy the latest cutting techniques to ensure precision and accuracy. Not everyone knows exactly what they want. The sign of a good merchant is one who is confident enough to suggest changes to ensure that each project is a success.
Money isn’t limitless, but the key consideration should be quality. Think of timber as long term investment and asset. Spending that bit extra will ensure a high quality finish and those materials are going to last that bit longer.
With larger projects builders need to make sure that merchants have the facilities to deliver. Not only do they need to cut to exacting specifications, they need to transport the finished sheets too. Check for references from satisfied customers before making any kind of commitment.
