Built for the construction trade
Managing timber procurement for a development, public realm scheme, or civil and marine project? We supply contractors and developers across the UK with certified sustainable timber – sourced directly from sawmills worldwide, cut to your specification and delivered to site.
Cedar and Thermowood cladding for residential and commercial developments. Oak, Glulam and structural hardwoods for construction projects. Ekki and Greenheart for civil and marine works. FSC certified as standard across everything we supply.
The Problem With Most Timber Suppliers
Most suppliers work from a yard. They sell what’s in stock.
That means you get what they have – not necessarily what your project needs. Wrong moisture content. Wrong grade. Wrong profile. Or you’re told it’s certified, and find out it isn’t when you need the paperwork.
We work differently.
Why EcoChoice
Independent – no stock to push
We source directly from sawmills across Brazil, West Africa, Canada and Scandinavia for your specific project. The right species, grade and profile for the job – not whatever’s available in a yard.
FSC certified as standard — not on request
Every order. Full documentation ready before you ask. No grey areas on public sector contracts, planning conditions or sustainability requirements. FSC and PEFC certified.
Right quality, every time
Grading, moisture content, profiles, tolerances – we handle the technical detail at source. Twenty years of direct sawmill relationships means we know exactly what’s coming before it leaves the mill. No surprises on site.
Complex deliveries handled
Multiple loads to live construction sites. Strict weight restrictions. Tight programme windows. We’ve done it – including 1-tonne bundle deliveries across an 11,000m² pier project. If it needs careful coordination, we’re used to it.
One supplier. One call. One less thing to manage.
Cladding for a housing development. Hardwoods for a public realm scheme. Marine timbers for civil works. Structural oak for a timber frame. Whatever the project needs, we source it.
From timber specification to detailing panel sizes and joints, to deliveries being on schedule, the whole process flowed smoothly and effortlessly - which is a great thing in any large civil engineering project.

20 Years of Sawmill Relationships
Twenty years of direct relationships with sawmills across Brazil, West Africa, Canada and Scandinavia means we know exactly who to call for any project brief. Not a trading desk – direct access to the source. That’s how we control quality, certification and lead times in a way a merchant or stocked supplier can’t.
