Timber frame construction: Showcasing the craftsmanship of our artisans

Smart Architects Start Here

  • Avoid the "oops" moment: No more discovering your beautiful design requires timbers that don't exist or connections that can't be built. We'll tell you what works before you're committed to it.
  • Protect your design vision: Nothing's worse than watching your timber frame get "value-engineered" into mediocrity because nobody planned for the real costs. Early collaboration means your design gets built as intended.
  • Get real numbers, not guesses: With preliminary engineering complete, you can give your clients accurate budgets instead of hoping the timber frame "comes in on budget" later.
  • Reduce your project risk: Think of it as a low-pressure way to see if we're the right fit before you recommend us to your client. Better to know now than during construction.
  • Save 4-6 weeks on your timeline: When the engineering and shop drawings are done early, we skip the usual back-and-forth that delays projects. Your clients stay happy, and you look like a hero.

Technically HTF offers our services nationwide. Most of our projects are built within a 250-mile radius of our shop. A number of our clients who want a timber frame home may live 500+ miles away, but are moving to our region, which is still easy to coordinate. The design process is handled via phone calls, emails, shared photos, and usually at least one shop visit. Our timber frame homes are commonly raised by the same crew of joiners who built it.
 
Pavilions are in a different category as they have been shipped far and wide. These designs can be fairly simple to undertake, provided the exchange of information is adequate. If you have access to a good crew, then we can send a “Raising Advisor” to help make the raising smoother and the project costs a bit less for small pavilions. On large pavilions, we recommend using our raising crew.
