About 95 per cent of British Columbia’s 55 million
hectares (136 million acres) of diverse forestland is
publicly owned. All timber harvesting operations
on these public lands must comply with the
results-based Forest and Range Practices Act.
Before any logging can begin on public lands,
a company must be issued a cutting permit by government,
setting out the boundaries of the area approved to be harvested.
Timber from both public and private lands is
tracked to ensure there is no illegal harvesting.
Possession of unmarked or incorrectly marked
timber can lead to imprisonment of up to two years.

Timber cladding is becoming more popular because it can give a attractive contemporary design while offering a very low carbon footprint. Timber has been recognised as the least carbon intensive building material. Timber cladding can be very economical too and we are able to offer various grades to fit your budget.
You can find some great examples of how timber cladding has been used effectively in our gallery
or at: http://www.woodawards.com/the-olympic-velodrome & http://construction.com/community/pl/GalleryPage.aspx
Care must be taken in selecting timber species, we can offer full advice in this respect. Care must also be taken in choosing the correct timber cladding profile. Some are best for horizontal and others for vertical applications. Feather edge timber cladding can be great for barn conversions and we can offer this with a sawn or planed finish. Please take a look at our profiles page. We can mill any other wood cladding profile, just send us a sketch or phone for advice. We also have a page showing trim we have previously milled, we can do others so please ask.
