We have been through a few of these now.

Work in this industry does not taper. It stops. A builder goes quiet and the orders that were certain last month are not there this month.

What does not go quiet is the cost of cutting. The saw is still financed. The shift is still rostered. The operator is still on the floor. The cost holds while the revenue falls away.

That is the part almost nobody prices properly, and it is easy to see why. Cutting feels variable because it happens piece by piece. It behaves like a fixed cost the moment the work slows down.

We are not telling you to stop cutting. Keep your core production on the saw you have already paid for. The question is whether the smaller componentry needs to go through it too, because that is the part you can order to the work in front of you and carry nothing when the work is not there.

The plants that come through a quiet quarter in reasonable shape are usually the ones carrying less fixed cost in every truss.

If fixed cutting costs are squeezing your margin, talk to us about what supplementing could look like in your plant.

We have watched a lot of Januarys from this side of the fence.

You come back in the second week, half the crew is in, the order book is already behind, and the saw is expected to make up the difference. It happens every year and it is nobody’s fault. It is just what a shutdown does to a plant.

The only part of that restart that is already handled is the componentry you ordered before you locked the gate. Webs, creeper chords and blocks sitting there production ready, going straight into the press. Not a cut on your floor.

Everything else waits for you, and it waits for fewer people with less time.

We will be back before most of you are, and that helps with a lot of things. It does not help with creeper chords cut to your spec. Those need lead time either way, and the time to work that out is while you can still think straight about it, not in the second week of January when you are already behind.

Talk to us about your restart volumes.

Celebrating Feroz Buksh - 11 years at Programmed Timber.

Today we recognise Feroz Buksh, a team lead on our factory floor, and the role he plays in the business.

Leading a team on the floor takes more than technical knowledge. Over the years, Feroz has kept production moving, supported the people around him and set the standard for the work we deliver.

Thank you, Feroz, for your leadership and for everything you bring to the team.

Every offcut on your floor is timber you paid a structural rate for.

Then you paid again to cut it. Then you paid a third time to move it. One piece, three costs, and none of them arrive as a line item. They sit inside your overhead where nobody argues with them.

Not a tonne of wood fibre has left our floor as landfill since 1999. Our offcuts go back to a sawmill and get used again. That is not a sustainability line. It is what happens when cutting is the entire business instead of a step inside someone else’s.

When your webs, creeper chords and blocks arrive production ready, those cuts never happen on your floor. No offcut. No second handling. No disposal.

Australia’s plantations regrow enough structural timber to frame an average home every 150 seconds. The resource is renewable. What each of us does with it is the part we control.

Wood fibre utilisation is not a slogan to us. It is the entire business.

Up to 200,000 a day.

That is what this floor can produce in pre-cut webs.

Not a theoretical brochure figure. Not a machine rating. Up to 200,000 pre-cut webs produced on PT’s floor in a day.

Webs from 450mm to 3 metres in 150mm increments. Creeper chords manufactured to your pitch, up-cut and end detail, including square or double mitre. Blocks and nogs in bulk.

Graded. Cut. Banded. Production-ready.

And here is the point.

No individual frame and truss plant needs to carry capacity like that. That is precisely why it makes sense for the capacity to sit here instead of on your floor.

You are not investing in additional cutting capacity. You are not adding another shift or operator. And you are not carrying the cutting waste associated with producing those components in-house.

You order against the work you have actually won. Our floor becomes an extension of yours.

27 years of it has produced two things here. More than half a billion components. And a zero wood waste site, not as a target, as an outcome.

Want to understand where supplemented componentry could release capacity in your plant? Talk to the Programmed Timber team.

When a customer has trusted you since 2017, that speaks louder than any sales pitch.

Unique Truss relies on Programmed Timber for pre-cut webs in varying lengths to support its roof truss production, backed by fast quoting, responsive service and dependable delivery.

For us, that is what supply should look like:

The right component. The right length. Ready when production needs it.

Thank you to Leanne Venables and the team at Unique Truss for the kind words and continued trust.

144 pieces. One pallet. How much work happens before they reach your jig?

If you cut them in-house, there is timber to load, saw time to allocate, components to handle, waste to manage and labour tied up before assembly even starts.

Or the components can arrive pre-cut, bundled and ready to move into production.

The question is not simply what the timber costs. It is what the cutting costs.

Warwick Drysdale has modelled the point where those numbers cross.
