Specifiers

Right for the Job

You have a lot to balance: performance, price, availability, and much more. BC can help. For more than 60 years, we’ve earned the trust of specifiers with detailed product specs, pro-grade advice, and products that perform year after year.

  • Right Quality

    Boise Cascade Engineered Wood Products remain the gold-standard in consistent performance. No splitting or bowing. Just longer spans, shorter installation times. Our Engineered Wood products come with an industry-leading lifetime warranty. Products that work as hard as you do and perform as designed.

  • Right Price

    EWP’s ease of handling, cut-to-length lumber packages, and speed of install make engineered wood products more efficient and less expensive for most projects, particularly in multi-family and commercial applications.

  • Right Availability

    With regional production facilities and a nationwide network of local distribution centers, Boise Cascade can deliver both the expertise and the product where you need it — just as we have for the past 60 years.

The Best Alternative to Concrete & Steel

Engineered wood products are the natural fit as an alternative to concrete and steel construction. In many applications — particularly light industrial and multi-family — EWP delivers the same strength and span characteristics but without the logistical headaches and industrial aesthetics.


  • Cost-competitive on both simple & complex projects

  • A complete EWP system — GLULAM, LVL, BCIs work together for greater design & install efficiency

  • SFI® Chain-of-Custody or Certified Sourcing qualified products available — earn LEED® or NGBS™ green building credits

  • Can be purpose-designed for your project

EWP: Naturally Sustainable

Going green has moved from promising to practical. Engineered wood is designed for sustainability at every step. In production, we intelligently use nearly every part of every tree.
