Understanding Australian MGP Timber: Grading, compliance, and discolouration

Presented by: AIBS

Proudly brought to you by WoodSolutions, the leading resource for timber design and construction, this webinar explores how structural timber is graded, manufactured, verified and identified for use in Australian construction.

Participants will gain an understanding of machine stress grading and how grading parameters determine timber's structural properties.  The session examines how scanning systems assess stiffness, density, strength, dimensions, and other key characteristics, and how these processes align with the Australian Standards referenced for residential timber framing.

With a practical, customer-focused approach, this webinar will help building surveyors, certifiers, inspectors, builders and designers understand what to look for on timber grade stamps and what questions to ask when verifying that structural timber is suitable for its intended application.

The session concludes with a concise overview of timber discolouration, explaining the difference between surface mould, blue stain and decay.
