Our Process

Stage 1

Plan

We begin by collaborating closely with you to understand your vision, budget, and site conditions. This step ensures your timber frame project has a solid foundation, considering factors like land characteristics, zoning regulations, and structural needs. By aligning every detail upfront, we set the stage for a smooth, efficient process, minimizing potential challenges down the road

Stage 2

Design

Our team provides expert guidance through the entire design phase, covering timber frame layouts, structural insulated panel (SIP) integration, and consulting on key architectural elements. We connect you with trusted architects and engineers to refine your ideas and develop a comprehensive blueprint that balances aesthetics, functionality, and efficiency.

Stage 3

Production

Using premium-quality materials, we precision-cut and hand-finish each timber component in our workshop, ensuring both durability and craftsmanship. Every beam and joint is meticulously prepared to guarantee a seamless fit during assembly. This controlled production process enhances structural integrity, reduces waste, and ensures a faster, more efficient build on-site.
