Houzz Call: Are You Having Trouble Sourcing Wood for Your Build?
Are you renovating or building and feeling the effects of timber shortage, in either supply or price? Tell us your story
Australia is in the middle of a timber shortage due to global supply issues, a surge in demand brought on by the Federal Government’s HomeBuilder program, and the devastation wrought by the 2019 bushfires. For some renovators and builders this means time delays, rising prices and uncertainty, for others, design changes and the introduction of new materials to replace timber elements.
It may be that you are having to pay more than expected, that your project is taking longer, that your builder is using timber sourced from non-conventional suppliers, or integrating more reclaimed wood into the design than previously planned.
Whatever your experience, we’d love to hear from you.
