Unique Characteristics - timber in general is a unique material and an understanding of some of the physical characteristics will help ensure that you achieve the most efficient and most cost effective application that is possible.
Lengths – generally speaking, the longer the lengths, the more expensive is the price. Try to work designs to utilise shorter lengths wherever possible. Avoid specifying or ordering required lengths in multiples.
(Ordering a 6.0 metre length to yield 6/1.0 instead of ordering 6/1.2 may save 20% on material but overall, may cost more due to paying a 'long length' premium for the 6.0 length, and missing out on a 'short length' discount for the 1.2 lengths).
Widths & Thickness – as with length, wider and thicker sections will generally be more expensive than smaller end sections. Again, avoid ordering your requirements in multiples.
