Behind the Build: Your Questions About Wesbeam Answered

At Hudson Homes, we are committed to Building Happy, and a big part of that comes down to the partners we choose to work with. While homeowners may not always see what sits behind the walls, floors and roof of their home, the materials used throughout the build play a major role in its strength, quality and longevity.

That is why we are proud to recognise Wesbeam as our Supplier of the Month for June 2026.

To help you understand more about one of our trusted supplier partners, we have put together this FAQ blog covering everything you need to know about Wesbeam and the role their products play in a Hudson Homes build.

Who is Wesbeam?

Wesbeam is Australia’s only manufacturer and distributor of both LVL and LVL I-Joist, with a world-class factory based in Perth and direct delivery from Wesbeam distribution centres.

Using state-of-the-art equipment from New Zealand, Japan, Finland and Germany, Wesbeam manufactures high-quality laminated veneer lumber beams and a growing range of LVL products for the Australian building industry.

What does Wesbeam supply?

Wesbeam supplies engineered timber products used throughout the structure of a home. Their product range includes:

• LVL beams
• I-joists
• Other blue LVL products designed to support residential construction.

These products are made to span further, carry greater loads and withstand the tough Australian climate, making them a reliable choice for modern home building.

How does Hudson Homes use Wesbeam products?

At Hudson Homes, Wesbeam is used as part of our flooring system, helping to create a strong and reliable base for the home. Their LVL floor systems are designed to be lightweight, straight and strong, which supports both the build process and the long-term performance of the home. For our construction teams, this means a more consistent product on site, efficient installation and confidence that the flooring structure is backed by quality engineered timber.

What is Wesbeam's flooring system?

Wesbeam’s floor system includes their e-joist product, which combines engineered wood technology with LVL to create a floor joist that is lightweight, straight and strong.

Because e-joist uses less wood than a solid LVL beam of the same size, it is lighter and easier to handle on site while still providing the strength needed for residential construction. Wesbeam also offers support through its Design Centre, helping builders and industry professionals with floor system design, technical information and practical support throughout the process.

How does Wesbeam support a Hudson Homes build?

A strong home starts with the right materials. Wesbeam’s engineered timber products help provide structural support across key parts of the home, including floor systems, beams, lintels, rafters and roof structures.

For our construction teams, this means greater confidence on site, consistent product quality and materials that help support the high standard our customers expect from Hudson Homes.

Why is Australian-made important?

As an Australian manufacturer, Wesbeam plays an important role in supporting the local building industry with locally made LVL and LVL I-Joist products.

Their Perth-based manufacturing facility, combined with direct delivery from Wesbeam distribution centres, helps provide dependable supply and quality assurance for builders across Australia.

Does Wesbeam support sustainable building practices?

Yes. Wesbeam’s LVL is made from renewable, sustainably sourced timber under a 50-year agreement between Wesbeam and the Western Australian State Government.

This focus on responsible sourcing helps support more sustainable building practices while still delivering the strength and performance needed for today’s homes.

What makes Wesbeam the right choice for a Hudson Homes build?

For us, it comes down to quality, reliability and trust. Wesbeam’s engineered timber products help form the structure behind many of our homes, particularly through the flooring systems that create a strong foundation for everyday living.

Partners like Wesbeam help us continue delivering homes that are built with care, quality and confidence. Congratulations to Wesbeam, our Supplier of the Month for June 2026, and thank you to the whole team for your continued support in helping us keep Building Happy.
