Pā Reo
“I am pleased to provide a testimonial for Red Stag Timberlab’s exceptional work on the Pā Reo Project at Te Wānanga O Raukawa in Ōtaki. From the tender stage to project completion, their passion for timber construction was evident. Their expertise in every aspect, from shop drawings to the final product, left us in awe. Sam and the team were always available to assist with any queries and were a pleasure to communicate with over the phone. Working with Red Stag Timberlab was a truly remarkable experience.”

“The structural team have hugely enjoyed the collaboration, sharing and great “can do” and culture working with Timberlab on this project. Everyone has been focused on resolving the hidden connections of some of the most challenging multi rafter glulam connections around! will become a leading timber space for UoW to celebrate future student success, teaching and cultural gatherings.“

Sir Keith Park Memorial TimberLab Curves
“The trusses arrived at my place early Friday morning. The truck driver was amazing with his Hiab, and the goods were soon fully in the shed and under cover.
Many thanks to you and the TimberLab Team for a fantastic job – both in terms of the delivery timeframe and the quality of the work.
Seems a pity to paint them…!! Please pass on our hearty thanks to the whole team at TimberLab.“
Geoff Furkert
Client
TimberLab Bondek™ Flooring
“Many thanks for the Bondek flooring delivered today by Tutills. Thanks also for the careful packaging of the timber.
It has been an excellent experience dealing with TimberLab, and I am very pleased that after approaching other timber laminating companies my engineer directed me to your company”.

Te Omanga Hospice
“On behalf of the Trustees and staff of Te Omanga Hospice, please accept my sincere thanks for your donation towards our campaign to raise $10 million to replace our earthquake prone building with a new hospice……….
Thank you for your beautiful beams throughout the inpatient unit and foyer.

Te Ara a Tawhaki Raised Floor
“I would like to thank the TimberLab team for your assistance and contribution on the Te Ara a Tawhaki Project. TimberLab made the process easy as they sorted the shop drawings with the right questions to refine the final product including a couple of late curve ball changes we made. We had a surveyor set out the framing for us on site to ensure accuracy, and when we laid the floor starting from the centre of the room out, it all fitted like a glove. The curves were consistent and all the service penetrations (A/C grilles and Recessed power points) were located exactly where they supposed to be. When we pressure tested the floor it passed easily first time.”

Wanaka Recreation Centre
“The challenge was to impress a community who lives in one of the most picturesque places on Earth – and I think we have done that with our beautiful new pool – thanks in large to the striking Glulam beams which connect this space so effortlessly. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

Kwila Decking – Pool Surround

“I went down to Wellington for the opening of our Archive room. It was overwhelming to see the project realised.
The achievement is a testament to all involved.
This is a very loud thank you for taking our unique idea, and getting it built! And so beautifully.
A special thank you to Timberlab and Greenmount for being there from the beginning – with all the goodwill and advice that allowed us to take the first steps towards resolution.
This one was definitely a team effort!!”

“Our drawings were sent off to TimberLab, who put together a model, including every single piece of timber, so that they could check it – then we double-checked. There were about 500 pages of shop drawings for the project, including these incredible schedules that were like a computer language. If the model was slightly wrong, it would have created havoc on site, but we managed to avoid that completely. The tolerance was plus or minus half a millimetre, which is kind of loony – half a millimetre on timber that’s 12m long. The building was actually sized to the biggest bits of LVL that you can buy. In order to be rigid, all of the joints had to slot together perfectly and TimberLab – bless them – managed to do it. The team on site were real craftsmen, too”.

NZ Strong
“NZ Strong successfully engaged Timberlab on 2 of our recent award winning projects, namely Avondale College Stage 3 and Otahuhu Recreation Precinct. On both projects Grant and the Timberlab team were extremely professional in their approach and advice and were proactive throughout the whole process. Both projects had numerous tricky routing and other preparation for steel connections, which they produced with the very high degree of quality required in line with the tight tolerances involved”.

Hi Owen & Timberlab team,
Thanks for your support on the Cathedral Grammar project. We pulled it off and finished the job on time! Today we received Code of Compliance and the school can start operating in the entire complex next week. The buildings look magnificent & we get many great comments from the public. The architect Andrew Barrie countlessly mentioned the fantastic workmanship. A fast-tracked job well done by everyone involved. Please pass on our regards to your team on the floor.

“The curved laminated beams, capped with a curved roof to enhance the building’s elegance against its coastal backdrop was an architectural challenge”. McIntosh came to the fore to manufacture the structurally engineered curved beams specific to the building, transported them to site & craned them into position.
“They really have risen to meet the challenge that this job demands. The finishing is met with the same skill that the job started with.”
Paul Roberts
Managing Director of 2Build
Timber Water Storage Tanks
“Space frames for the large roof structures of water storage tanks built by Timbertank Enterprises Ltd. (over 250 cum tanks) utilise Glulam laminated beams in their construction because they can rely on their strength, accuracy of profiling and quality of timber treatment”.
“The team at McIntosh supply our needs quickly and efficiently. Their product enables us to build strong but lightweight structures very economically. The benefits for us of their finger-jointed laminated and tanalised beams relate particularly to weight and ease of handling. It’s a no-brainer compared to having to use steel.”
Justin Jordan
Managing Director
Ngongataha Bridge
“We enjoyed working closely with McIntosh Timber Laminates Ltd, ensuring the structure was simple to build, cost-effective & in-line with the client’s needs. The structural frame of the bridge curves in differing directions, creating a crossing that carries the required load, but also has a soft visual impact.”
