INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

Over the last 35+ years, we’ve been serving clients throughout the industry by designing, building, equipping, and automating sawmills, as well as training the people who support them.

The proof is in: BID Group’s turnkey mills deliver top-quartile profitability compared to other existing sawmills.
With reduced construction and ramp-up periods, your mill provides a quicker payback and improved return on capital. Our turnkey approach reduces owner effort, risk, and wasted money resulting in a modern and top-performing mill right out of the gate. BID Group is the only company in our industry proven to effectively design, fabricate, install, and commission both large and small capital projects.
