MacDirect: Your Trusted Source for Cypress and Macrocarpa Timber in New Zealand

Over 30 Years of Experience in the Timber Industry

MacDirect has been supplying cypress and macrocarpa timber to the New Zealand market for over 30 years. Led by our fearless leader, Murray Grant, we have supplied timber to thousands of projects nationwide. Our reach extends beyond New Zealand; we have even sent timber to the Pacific Islands and Australia. With three decades of experience, we understand the unique qualities of cypress and macrocarpa timber, especially in New Zealand's diverse climates. We can distinguish between a good log and a bad one.

Unique Position in the Market

Our extensive experience gives us a unique position in the market. We know the homes we have supplied and their current conditions. This allows us to see how our timber performs over time. We can advise our customers on best practices based on real-world results. Our experience, combined with trials and errors, has led us to work closely with architects and builders who are committed to using natural timber. Together, we have discovered the best practices for cypress timbers.

Educating Our Customers

When customers approach us, many have limited knowledge of the products we supply. We take pride in sharing our wealth of experience with them. What we primarily offer is the guarantee of working with us and using MacDirect mac.

Our supply is based on best practices for timber use in the industry. We adhere to the New Zealand Standards for grading, durability, and application. We collaborate with builders and architects to ensure that their customers can dream big and have their ideas supported. This commitment is backed by 30 years of experience in the installation of timbers across thousands of projects nationwide.

Our Commitment to Quality

1. Compliance with NZ Standards: MacDirect uses New Zealand Standards as our warranty guideline for application. We work with expert practitioners to ensure full compliance in your build.

2. After-Sales Support: We offer after-sales support and care advice for our customers, including installation best practices.

3. Producer's Statement: We provide a producer's statement to help support the use of our products with councils.

4. Collaboration with Research Organizations: We are committed to working with Branz, Scion (forestry research), and other organizations to improve the knowledge and supply of MacDirect Mac to Kiwi homeowners.

   
   

A Producer, Not Just a Middleman

We believe it is crucial to emphasize that we are a producer, not just a middleman. MacDirect is fundamentally a sawmill. We purchase logs, mill them, and work with customers on their applications. We offer our customers the opportunity to visit our mill and see the products being produced. In some cases, they can even see their products being cut. This customer-led approach is driven by our desire to share the story of Mac and cypress timbers. We have made significant changes to the quality of the Mac we supply. No longer do we provide downgraded shelter belt logs; instead, we offer timber that can compete with any product on the market.
