Projects designed around the materials
Being an avid collector for many years and using recycled building materials for buildings projects, furniture and landscaping projects many of our jobs are designed around the materials we provide. We find that the stain marks, scratches, old bolts and nail holes, tell a story and adds a character and charm to any project. Our favourite recycled material is the enduring Australian hardwoods of which we have quite a collection. This beautiful material is mainly used as feature beams or for chunky window and door frames.

A large collection of unique materials
Collecting windows, doors, fittings or saving anything we see as value from demolition sites, (we have seen so many beautiful materials go straight to landfills just for the sake of making a few dollars). Doing deals with developers, demolishers and whoever is not a favourite part of this business but it is necessary. As lots of materials have become more valuable we have experienced a noticeable shift in availability and price but for us the sound of those massive machines crushing big beautiful hardwood beams gives us nightmares.


Old bridge pillars.             Old new floor boards.       Old timber beams.           Recycled timber steps. 

Treasures we have rescued
Natural House Builders also have 20 or so doors rescued from one of the oldest churches in Sydney. These doors are our favourites together with 8 large trusses from old wool stores in which the bottom cord spans 18 meters (1 piece of timber). These would look beautiful in a winery or so if anyone’s looking.

Please note that all our collected materials are for use in our own projects only and not for private sale.
