Macrocarpa and the Building Code.  Macrocarpa is under Cypress in the building code.  There have been several 'determinations' by the Department of Building and Housing on Macrocarpa use - e.g: 2007/135       -  See:  www.dbh.govt.nz

MacDirect has noticed a real demand in public places especially but also from home owners concerned about the toxicity of chemically treated timber.

 *     Building with wood will make a significant contribution  to reducting CO2 in the atmosphere.

*     That 1 Tonne of wood has absorbed approximately 1.7 tonne of carbon net, after manufacture.

(ie. By simply choosing wood an average timber house reduces CO2 by 50 tonnes -equivalent to that emitted by flying 12 times around the world or what a car could use during its entire life)!

*     By just choosing timber cladding alone, on average 8.5 tonne of CO2 has been taken out of the atmosphere!

*     That wooden ceiling sarking would also reduce CO2 by approximately 8.5 tonne.

*     That carbon is 'locked up' for the life of the house.

*     Any Macrocarpa waste is environmentally safe and friendly. (shavings, sawdust for the garden and farm, off-cuts for       firewood).
