Welcome to the Bowens Web Site  

This site allows you to find out more about Bowens – the products and services we offer, account details and information, our various club memberships as well as the advice and know-how to help you in your next building project.

Bowen & Pomeroy Pty Ltd (trading as Bowens Timber & Building Supplies) is a family owned company started in 1894 by Richard Bowen, specialising in the supply of timber and building supplies to the Victorian building trade and do-it-yourself retail market. Bowens is a dominant player in the Victorian building market with nine branches centered on metropolitan Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

Our company has more than 30 external sales representatives calling directly on Melbourne’s builders – helping with the smallest renovation to the largest residential and commercial building projects.

This experienced sales team is backed-up at branch level by a team of service orientated people equally dedicated to helping Victorians build.

Bowens also has one of the largest fleets of delivery vehicles with experienced drivers who can help our clients with deliveries of timber and building supplies right onto their building site in the most economical manner possible.

To suit today’s building requirements an increasingly important part of our service to the industry includes the manufacture and supply of prefabricated wall frames and roof trusses and Bowens has two prefabrication plants, on 10 acres at Hastings and 4 acres in Dandenong.

Bowens is a licensed Gang-Nail fabricator using the latest technology available and we’ve grown to be one of the largest building pre-fabrication operators in Victoria.

Bowens is well suited to service the building industry because we have the network, the products, the representation and the specialised services, as well as over 100 years of experience in the industry.

Most of all Bowens have motivated people who are experienced and ready to give helpful friendly advice, people who are:–
