Timber frame construction offers several advantages over traditional framing, including greater structural stability, improved energy efficiency, and the ability to create open, spacious interiors with fewer load-bearing walls. Additionally, timber frames are often crafted from sustainably sourced wood, making them an environmentally friendly choice. The natural beauty of exposed timber frames can also add a unique aesthetic appeal to a building, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Our process begins with a Preliminary Design Consultation, where the design team collaborates with the client to create initial sketches, floor plans, and exterior elevations. Once the designs are approved, a production agreement is signed, and construction drawings are created while the specified timber is ordered. The most exciting day is the timber frame raising, where the crew assembles and raises the bents, connects timbers, and completes the structure, after which your general contractor takes over to finish the project according to the detailed plans provided.
Historically, timber frame packages can range from $65 - $150 or higher, depending on the amount of timber framing and complexity of the design. Larger timber frame projects like fully timber framed homes and barns tend to be on the lower end of that spectrum because larger areas can be covered with larger, but fewer pieces. This price range for a timber frame package usually includes other necessities such as tongue and groove roof decking and installation by our very own crew of seasoned professionals.
