Who is Riyadh Timber?
Riyadh Timber is a Saudi company specialising in construction and finishing timber supply, operating from a flagship warehouse in Al Olaya and serving contractors across Riyadh and Saudi Arabia. We supply Indonesian plywood, Canadian SPF lumber, European oak and MDF panels under SBC 201 and European E1 certifications.
The company runs on a direct B2B model between origin mills and the end contractor, removing intermediary layers and tightening batch consistency. The team includes engineers trained in quantity take-off and structural drawing review, so quotes are issued with engineering precision rather than guesswork.
We maintain standing supply relationships with mills in Indonesia, Canada, Germany and Russia, with rotating 40-foot container shipments that keep stock available year-round. Every incoming batch is inspected for density and moisture content on arrival at the warehouse.
When was Riyadh Timber founded?
Riyadh Timber was founded in 2013 in Riyadh, 12 years of continuous operation as of 2026. The company started as a retail outlet for concrete-formwork plywood in Al Olaya, then expanded into wholesale supply for major contracting projects and hotel finishing work from 2017 onwards.
Between 2013 and 2017, the company focused on Indonesian plywood and formwork timber for residential builds in north Riyadh. It later expanded into Canadian SPF for light-frame structures, then MDF, oak and teak for furniture and interior finishing.
From 2020, the company began supplying major Vision 2030 projects, including NEOM, Red Sea, Qiddiya and Diriyah sites, either directly or through main contractors. The active customer base today exceeds 300 contractors across the Kingdom.
Where is Riyadh Timber located?
The headquarters and warehouse are located on King Fahd Road, Al Olaya District, Riyadh 12214, Saudi Arabia. The location is central to north and central Riyadh project sites, 15 minutes from the financial district and 30 minutes from King Khalid International Airport.
The site was selected for its proximity to the Northern and Eastern Ring Road exits, which lets delivery trucks reach Hittin, Al Malqa, Al Yasmin, Al Narjis and As Sahafah project sites in under 45 minutes. Loading hours run from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday through Thursday.
For customers outside Riyadh, the warehouse connects to a contracted carrier network covering Jeddah, Mecca, Dammam, Khobar, Yanbu and Tabuk, with timber-specific trailers that protect panels from warping and moisture during transit.
What is Riyadh Timber's mission?
Our mission is to supply SBC 201-compliant construction timber at transparent wholesale prices with sub-48-hour Riyadh delivery. The objective is to eliminate site delays caused by material shortages and to support contractors in meeting their contractual delivery dates without buffer-stock penalties.
The mission rests on three pillars: price transparency through monthly-updated wholesale lists, batch consistency through inbound quality inspection, and delivery reliability through an in-house fleet plus warehouse capacity equal to three months of forecast consumption.
The mission aligns with Vision 2030 priorities of localising supply chains and supporting the construction sector, by reducing contractor dependence on individual import shipments and providing local buffer stock that absorbs ocean-freight price volatility.
What makes Riyadh Timber different from other timber suppliers?
Three differentiators: a formal quote within 4 working hours, Riyadh delivery within 24–48 hours, and a no-questions replacement policy for any panel that fails to meet specification. We work with documented mill certificates per batch and never blend Indonesian and Chinese plywood on the same invoice line.
We publish bulk pricing on a clear scale from 100 to 5,000 panels, so contractors can compare offers fairly. Quoted prices include Riyadh-area transport, loading and 15% VAT, with no surprise fees added on delivery.
Our technical sales desk includes engineers who can recommend the right plywood thickness and timber grade for the application, whether concrete formwork, light-frame structure or furniture, referencing SBC 201 load criteria rather than catalogue defaults.
Who runs Riyadh Timber?
The company is led by a team comprising a founder with a civil-engineering background and an operations director with supply-chain experience, supported by a sales department of 8 engineers and a logistics team of 12 truck drivers and technicians. Our team policy: never discount at the cost of quality.
The founder personally maintains supply relationships with Indonesian and European mills and attends the Cologne and Dubai annual timber expos to refresh the supplier list. This keeps the company current on new standards and reference market prices.
The operations director runs the warehouse and daily shipment scheduling on an in-house ERP that tracks every thickness and species in real time, so customers can confirm live stock availability before placing an order.
