Launch of new Australian timber framing carbon calculatorFriday 20 Mar 2026
Recent research from Forest & Wood Products Australia (FWPA) shows sustainability considerations are increasingly influencing home buyer decisions. The WoodSolutions Timber Framing Carbon Calculator responds by giving builders a simple, credible way to quantify and communicate the carbon benefits of structural timber framing. Using recognised industry data and methodology, the tool generates a customised Carbon Certificate detailing how much carbon dioxide has been removed from the atmosphere and stored within a builder’s timber-framed homes. The certificate can be used across tenders, proposals, websites and client communications, providing a practical sustainability proof point throughout the home buyer journey. "Many residential builders already choose structural timber framing because it makes commercial and practical sense, while also delivering strong environmental outcomes," said WoodSolutions Renewable Timber Framing Campaign Manager, Christine Briggs. "What’s often missing is a clear way to communicate that carbon benefit to clients. The Carbon Calculator turns an existing construction choice into something tangible - proof that can support sales conversations and build client confidence." In addition to business-level certificates, builders can also generate personalised Carbon Certificates for individual homes, creating a meaningful addition to post-build handover packs. For builders already building with structural timber framing, the carbon benefit is already there. The WoodSolutions Carbon Calculator simply makes it visible. Builders can access the Carbon Calculator and download their Carbon Certificate. Source & image credit: WoodSolutions / FWPA  | ||
