Timber Provenance & Traceability
At Durable Hardwoods, we understand that responsible sourcing matters – especially for government and civil projects with strict environmental criteria.
We maintain comprehensive traceability records for all timber we supply, including our specialty Australian Sourced cypress and imported Merbau, covering:
1. Chain of Custody Documentation
– Mill source identification and location
– Harvest area and forest management certification status
– Transport and processing records
– Species verification and botanical classification
2. Sustainable Sourcing Commitment
We prioritise timber from sustainably managed Australian forests and mills that follow responsible forestry practices. Our Australian Sourced cypress comes from certified sustainable Australian operations, while our Merbau is sourced through verified sustainable forestry programs. Where certification is required (FSC, PEFC, or AFS), we can source certified timber through our network of accredited mills.
3. Government Project Requirements
For Department of Environment & Water and Council projects requiring environmental compliance, we provide detailed provenance documentation including harvest location, forest management practices, and chain of custody records. This ensures your project meets environmental assessment criteria and procurement policies.
4. Transparency Promise
Every timber order includes documentation showing exactly where your timber originated. We believe in complete transparency – if you need to know where your Australian Sourced Cedar Pine or Merbau came from, we can tell you.
