Austim was established in 1985 by Peter Rowney. After many years working in the national timber industry, Peter discovered there was a gap in the WA market waiting to be filled. With encouragement and backing from long-term employer and colleague, Denis M. Cullity, Peter commenced operations from the current Landsdale site.
Before long, Peter had established himself as a supplier of quality timber, which was just what Perth craved. Core products in the early years were imported and predominantly used by the building and construction markets. As the business grew, decorative timbers were added. Austim also became known for its range of specialty timbers which were used for furniture and joinery.

It was the first time I've had to purchase raw timber and I found it very daunting to be faced with making the right decision for what we wanted. As the timber is in it's natural state on a lot of shelving, you cannot know what it's going to look like when it has been 'dressed', unless there is a 'near enough' example available. As there are so many raw planks to choose from, it's not always possible to have a sample to know what you're getting, BUT I found the assistance I received from the guys on site, very helpful and they were very understanding to my lack of experience with timber and all

I had been looking for some cedar for my kayak project and had rung a couple of other places with no luck. When I contacted Austim they were very helpful, had the timber in stock and I was on my was in 20 minutes. The wood was very good quality and has really finished up beautifully. Thanks to Austim.
