Timber Unlimited, formerly Timber Design Centre, is a collective of experts from across the value chain, leveraging established relationships with wood processors, design professionals, builders, QS, engineers, and others. We work collaboratively, facilitating connections and channelling expertise from across the sector.
We were founded to encourage and facilitate the use of timber in the design and construction of all building and infrastructure projects. Our particular focus is on the commercial, industrial, public, and multi-story sectors.
We are focused on championing timber to build a better future for New Zealand by:
• Enabling New Zealand to embrace low-carbon timber construction.
• Demonstrating timber as a practical, sustainable and viable construction material for New Zealand.
• Accelerating the uptake of timber in construction relative to alternative materials
Providing an innovative and inspiring resource to help the industry unlock the potential of timber.
As New Zealand's go-to timber resource, we provide all the timber design information and knowledge in one place, empowering the industry to build better.
Everything we do is to minimise the time and cost of gaining the capability, competence and confidence to find new ways of building with timber.
Whoever you are across the timber and construction value chain and wherever you are on your timber learning journey, we are here to inspire you with the endless possibilities of timber in the built environment.
The Timber Unlimited was founded by:
• Wood Processors and Manufacturer’s Association (WPMA)
• New Zealand Timber Design Society (TDS)
• BRANZ
• Scion
We are here to support anyone in the sector: architects, designers, engineers, developers, builders, building owners, council planners and consenters, students and researchers.
