Did you know

Keep it simple...

A large part of the timberframe construction process takes place under controlled conditions in the workshop. Thus you benefit from shorter project lead-times and an 80% reduction in construction waste, while avoiding the disappointment of missed deadlines.

The freedom to choose

The finish and detailing for your timber frame is entirely yours to choose. Let your imagination run wild, in much the same way as you would select a finish for fine cabinetry.

Durable and distinctive

It is easy to be confused by the different terminology used in timber construction. The quality gap between different construction systems comes down to the type of joints used. Timberframes held together by mortice and tenon joints, cut under controlled conditions, offer the best guarantee of quality and stability. No other type of joints comes close. No wonder then, that timberframe buildings have lasted over the centuries.

Sleep through the storm

Wood construction is now the norm for coastal regions subject to hurricane damage, as well as for areas with high seismic activity.

Gain space...

Timberframe construction allows you to maximize the interior volume of your home. By exploiting the space under your roof, you gain an average 15% more living space for any given size of building.

Don’t pay twice over

Timber frames can be shaped, stained or painted according to your taste, and can be part of your home’s decor. No need to pay to cover up the frames, or to re-create visible interior features such as caissons and box beams, as is the case with conventionally-built houses.

Safety first !

The structural characteristics of timber frames result in resistance to fire that is superior to conventionally-built houses, and even to some metal buildings.

Unique design potential

The decorator within you can create a truly unique ambience by exploiting the design potential of a timber frame. Whether in an urban or rural setting, you will bask in the possibilities offered by the soaring interiors and abundant natural light.

Dollars and sense...

To get the most for your construction dollar, maximize the living space under your roof. You can enjoy the full potential of your roof volume by living on more than one floor.

The economy of geometry...

The simpler the geometry of your home’s external walls, the more you save. Try drawing a rectangle, and then cut out one corner: you will see that the total exterior wall length stays the same while you lose interior volume. A simple format reduces the complexity of construction and saves you money.
