About Us

Framing process

Based at The Concourse in Henderson, Auckland, Henderson Timbers is a 100 percent New Zealand company, owned and operated by Eric Martin. Founded in 1974 as a supplier of timber, building materials, and wall frames to local customers, the company later began manufacturing roof trusses in association with Pryda NZ, an autonomous division of Fortune 500 company Illinois Tool Works Inc.

Pryda provides Henderson Timbers with fully integrated software and production systems, access to leading-edge manufacturing equipment, and sophisticated technical support for timber truss and frame prefabrication.

As well as our membership of the New Zealand Frame and Truss Manufacturers’ Association, Henderson Timbers belongs to two other industry groupings, the Certified Builders Association of NZ and BCITO, the Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation.

Henderson Timbers is known for integrity, professionalism and teamwork. We take pride in what we have achieved as a company and we face our future challenges with confidence.

Above all we are customer-focused, as even our smallest customers can attest.

“Because we’re an independent company, we feel we can be more flexible and adaptable,” Eric says. “We’re big enough to deal with the big brand-name builders, and just the right size to mentor the couple looking to build their first home.

“The personal service we offer at Henderson Timbers results in long-term repeat business. Word-of-mouth recommendations from our many satisfied customers also play a big part in our success.”  

Sustainability

At Henderson Timbers we source timber only from sustainably managed forests.

Our frame and truss planning software enables us to minimise wastage and our company policy is aligned with national objectives for care of the environment.

Our sawdust and offcuts are collected and recycled by our friends at Green Gorilla.
