If you listen for long enough to urban mythology about building a home or renovating, you can get some very misleading information. You could be forgiven, for example, for thinking that you can build a house with any old structural timber. The theory is that cheaper is better, and that it’s a really clever move to “save” money by building using inferior quality timber.
WRONG. The truth is that Australian builders wouldn’t touch these truly awful timbers at gunpoint.
There are multiple, rather convincing, good reasons for this situation:
The fact is that Australian Standard timbers are far superior. There are specific standards for Australian structural timbers, like the Australian Standard for Residential Timber Framed Construction (AS 1684) standards for Australian hardwoods (AS 2796) timber structures (AS 1720) and other standards framed by the Building Code of Australia.
These standards were developed by the building industry and government to deliver the best possible standards of construction timber. You can see why it’s considered a no-brainer in the construction sector to use Australian Standard timbers for all types of building.
