The ongoing bushfire season has offered heartache, devastation and challenges for many regional communities across New South Wales, SA, QLD and Victoria. Through this, our renewable Timber Industry is working hard to better understand the short, medium and long term impacts of these bush fires, to ensure Timber Framing solutions continues to be Builder’s material of choice in Australia.
For more on how the Timber Industry is responding to these challenges, please refer to the FTMA Special Fire Edition.

With a heavy digital presence, Timber Framing advertising and social media could be seen on FoxSports, Gumtree, Yahoo, Google, Perth News and the Woodsolutions Facebook, just to name a few.
During this time the woodsolutions.com.au/framing website has achieved:
- 6000 visitors since its launch
- Over 3 million impressions online

The builder testimonials are proving to be great value and we will continue to develop a library of messages from builders that love timber!
We encourage fabricators to continue to register on the campaign website and start using the campaign assets.
Timber Framing Takes to the Roads
Starting at the end of January 2020, the Timber Framing – The Ultimate Renewable™ takes to the roads campaign, with outdoor billboards being featured at major locations across all capital cities.
The Outdoor Campaign builds on the digital campaign of “Frame with Timber – Renew our Future”, peeling back the external cladding of a home and reminding Builders and Consumer alike that, “It’s What’s on the Inside that Counts”.
