OUR PARTNERS
Over the years we have created a team of designers, architects and engineers to work and consult with for each new project to meet
the needs of our clients.
We now offer in-house timber frame design services.

Our scope of work is the timber frame itself. We act as a subcontractor on projects and come in after your foundation is ready. We cut and test fit the timber frame in our shop and then come to site to raise it. If desired we can install tongue and groove ceiling decking and roof structural insulated panels. Your contractor handles all permitting and the rest of the project, as needed.
