TIMBER RESOURCE ANALYSIS

One of the most basic and key factors to determining the success of a wood products manufacturer is having access to suitable quality and affordable timber. Firms considering building new or expanding existing facilities need to understand in detail the timber supply situation in the region, including ownership, growth and harvest, species mix, age/size distribution, etc.

BECK provides clients with valuable insights into this important area through research, including:

• Analysis of historical sales and harvest levels in targeted areas

• Analysis of standing timber inventory by ownership

• Completion of growth/drain analysis

• Assessment of changes in environmental laws and regulations

• Assessment of viability of producers purchasing timber

• Evaluating timber supply projections developed by others
