Project Consultation
A 30-minute consultation on your MOSO Bamboo siding or decking project, whether you're a homeowner planning your own project or a designer or architect specifying for a client. We'll give you an honest picture of the material, including where it takes extra care, and map out next steps toward a quote.
WHAT WE CAN COVER
- Choosing the right product
- Siding or decking, and which product and finish suit your project
- How the material looks and ages, and what to expect over time
- Samples and spec sheets to help you or your client decide
LOGISTICS
- Typical lead times and how ordering works
- Delivery to your site, and what to have in place for unloading and storage
- How to estimate quantities and allow for waste
INSTALLATION: WHAT TO PLAN FOR
- Bamboo is dense, so it needs the right fasteners, pre-drilling and tooling
- Why an installer familiar with the material makes a difference
- Spacing, sealing cut ends and allowance for movement
- Substructure and ventilation requirements
- What a DIY install involves and when to hire a professional
STRENGTHS AND TRADE-OFFS
- Where bamboo stands out: density, durability, appearance and its sustainability story
- Where it asks more: stricter installation details, finish and maintenance upkeep, premium pricing
- When it's the right fit for your project, and when another material may serve you better
QUESTIONS WE CAN ANSWER
- How does it compare with the materials I'm considering?
- What will it cost, and what drives the price?
- What do I need to hand my contractor or installer?
- Can I get this specified for my client's project?

- Tell us about your project when you book: location, rough size, timeline, and whether you're the owner or specifying for a client.
