Dahlsens. For the Builder. Since 1877

Dahlsens is one of Australia’s largest, trade-focused independent suppliers to builders of building materials and truss and frame. Founded by the Dahlsens family five generations ago in 1877, the business remains family owned, an impressive 144 years later, a rarity in Australian and even international business. CEO Geoff Dahlsen stands firm in what it was that drives the business. “We invest in and work with our 1300+ team members, partners and communities to make a positive and sustainable contribution to the Australian building industry. We strive for a culture that operates both ethically and with integrity.” Dahlsens operates via an extensive network of more than 60 trade stores, truss and frame, roofing and other manufacturing sites across far-reaching regional and metropolitan regions of Australia; it trades as Dahlsens in Victoria and New South Wales, Cairns Hardware in Far North Queensland and Nortruss in WA and the Northern Territory. Dahlsens prides itself on its local, professional team of experts who support builders with expert advice and supplies for their projects, whether that is a home renovation, a new build, a multi-unit development, a nursing home or a large community estate. It selects and works closely with its key supply partners, sourcing from local manufacturers wherever possible. “Loyalties earned over decades of partnerships with a tight group of suppliers have ensured ongoing priority supply in these recent supply-demand imbalances,” Mr Dahlsen said. With a strong focus on communication, Dahlsens keeps its customers informed with up-to-date building news, product innovation, design trends and service offers. They strive to support builders to keep their projects on track, with reliable supply of materials, delivered in full and on time.

The size, scale and subsequent buying power of Dahlsens enable them to support Australian builders with a full whole-of-house supply offer of products and solutions. This foundation to fit-out range includes timber, LVL, cladding, doors, insulation, decking, mesh, plaster, hardware, windows, door furniture, plumbing and kitchen supply and install and more. Innovations like Speedtruss and the Fastfix Internal Wall Screw by Pryda are game-changing products for the Dahlsens truss and frame teams. “These products deliver a new approach to roof truss design and installation with the pre-fab Speedtruss functioning like an assembly kit with pre-installed screws,” Mr Dahlsen said. “The need for temporary and additional fixings such as triple grips is removed and our customers are loving the way it speeds up the job. We look forward to sharing with more customers in the new year.” With reliable supply and expertise from Dahlsens, the end result is a successful, on-time project, a delighted home owner and a builder who knows where to look for the answers in their next project.
