Whether you need a set of trusses for a small cabin or a full timber frame home,
MoreSun can help you achieve the results you want.
A typical series of steps that occur during the timber framing process:
- Initial client meeting
- Architectural floor plans drafted
- Elevations and conceptual timber frame design
- Budgeting value engineering (if needed)
- Structural engineering and shop drawings
- Order timber
- Layout and cutting of each timber
- Test fit frame and drill peg holes
- Finishing, usually sanding and oiling
- Delivery to site
- Assembly and raising
- Celebration!!!
- Enclosure of frame (either by MoreSun or others)
- Remainder of the home is completed by local General Contractor
