No two builds are the same—and that’s exactly why having access to the right mix of building materials is essential. Whether you’re updating a home, managing a new development, or overseeing a structural upgrade, the materials you choose directly affect the quality, safety, and efficiency of the project.

Using strong, stable formwork and reliable reo mesh ensures your concrete slabs are reinforced properly from the ground up. Meanwhile, durable framing timber, compliant sheeting, and corrosion-resistant fasteners provide the structural support needed to meet building codes and withstand the test of time. For outdoor or coastal builds, it’s especially important to use building materials that are rated for moisture, load, and weather resistance.

Having the right supplies on hand—cement, nails, structural framing, sheet goods, and reinforcement—keeps your team productive and reduces the risk of project delays. From slab prep to roofline, stocking the correct building materials upfront ensures your jobsite runs smoothly from start to finish.

What are the most common building supplies used in residential construction?

Residential construction relies heavily on materials like framing timber, cement, concrete reo mesh, bricks or blocks, gyprock/plasterboard, and fasteners such as nails, screws, and brackets. Moisture barriers, sheeting, and insulation are also essential for structural integrity and energy efficiency. Additional supplies like sealants, adhesives, and lintels play supporting roles in various stages of a build. The materials you choose depend on the style of construction, climate, and load-bearing requirements of the project.

What’s the difference between treated and untreated timber?

Treated timber has been chemically enhanced to resist decay, insects, and moisture. It's ideal for outdoor use or areas prone to damp conditions—like decks, pergolas, and subflooring. Treated timber comes in different hazard levels (H1 to H6), depending on the intended use and level of exposure. Untreated timber, by contrast, is generally used indoors where there’s minimal risk of exposure. It’s easier to paint, cut, and handle but doesn’t offer the same long-term protection in challenging environments.
