Wood Research and Development is a civil engineering-focused testing and certification laboratory that also provides timber inspections, timber courses, and structural engineering and design services. Based in Jefferson, Oregon, the company operates internationally with offices in the United States, Canada, and Australia, serving clients across multiple countries. Its primary offerings include non-destructive wood testing, core sampling for rot assessment, and treatment processes intended to prevent rot while enhancing wood appearance, supporting restoration and rebuilding projects. The firm assesses timber structures, assigns a 1 to 100 percent rating for each area based on decades of inspection experience, and develops design plans and repair timelines tailored to cost-effective restoration. Collaborating with its sister company, Timber Restoration Services and Systems, WRD implements timber structural projects, and it has recently expanded its education reach through partnerships to provide virtual timber structure courses.
