Lumber

Save Big on Lumber

Lumber is a key component of most building projects. We can help you get the specific sizes you need for your project and help you ship them EFFICIENTLY.

When you talk directly to a mill, you’ll often hear, “We only …” “It only comes …” “We don’t break packs” “We don’t have that …” That's because no one mill is going to meet all your construction needs AND be able to help you efficiently consolidate and ship your order to Bermuda and the Caribbean.

That’s where we come in! We work with a mix of over 20 big mills and smaller, specialty mills to accommodate every need our customers have. We can provide:

• A wide range of grades - from premium to utility
• Virtually all sizes
• Pressure treatments (even color options for exposed beams)
• Different finishes - rough, dressed and everything in between
• Shipping coordination and consolidation for BIG SAVINGS
• Available in a variety of quantities, including broken and/or restacked bundles in certain species

How we help you save big on lumber

Here are some things to think about when ordering lumber and some examples of how we’ve helped our customers find what they need:

COMMODITY

The price of lumber fluctuates like the price of gold or grain. We keep a careful eye on the market’s ebb and flow to help our customers choose the right time to buy.

This is especially important for our stocking customers. We’ll let them know if the price is good and they should stock up. If the price isn’t ideal, we’ll tell them to wait to purchase. We don’t want one order, we want to be your trusted partner for years to come.

BEYOND 2x4x16

Walk into most home improvement stores an you’ll find 2x4x16s, but not much else. Often building plans call for something longer or thicker. Just tell us what your plans are and we will help you order the lumber and efficiently ship it.

PRESSURE TREATMENT OPTIONS

One of our customers in the British Virgin Islands wanted pressure-treated pine without the pine characteristics for their exposed beams. The mill we work with hand picked to the grade and used a clear (not green) pressure treatment so the beams looked gorgeous.
 

SHIP SMART

Shipping companies can help you get your products from Point A to Point B, but they have no incentive to help you save money. The lumber mills are experts at lumber, but aren’t going to know how to help you maximize your container or consolidate your order with items from other sources.

That’s where we come in. We can help you find ways to SAVE BIG on shipping. It is part of our service and – admittedly – a fixation of ours. With a lot of knowledge and a customer-focused attitude we find creative solutions for our customers. We’ve saved our customers tens of thousands of dollars.

BERMUDA ROOFING SOLUTIONS

The builders we work with in Bermuda use full dimension lumber for roofs. The heft and toughness of rough lumber is great, but the tricky thing is the lack of uniformity. So, we offer the best of both worlds – S1S1E (smooth 1 side, 1 edge). This creates enough uniformity while still getting the benefits of rough lumber.
