Timber framing is a global building technique that resonates with people seeking to enhance the naturally artistic feel of their new home.
Custom timber framing projects are about your ideas and desires. Express those living space ideas in your own home.
Timber framing is an excellent building technique for a variety of reasons. It is visually appealing, structurally superior, and traditionally representative of an age-old craft.
Timber frame clients of CHR are encouraged to feel like they are part of the process beyond the design phase. Visits to see your frame components during the crafting and preparation phases can be scheduled.
CHR timber projects provide a unique living-space, as the Canadian timber frame barn building tradition is continued through the crafting of unique custom timber frame homes, barns, outbuildings, and interior beam structures.
Timber framing for medium and large structures must be done with new timbers so engineers can calculate the strength. Barn beams and posts can be used for small structures, when they are specially and individually approved.
Post and beam construction is similar to timber frame construction. The main difference being that timber framing refers to the mortise, tenon, and wood dowel methods of joinery, where as post and beam construction typically relies on steel methods of joinery.
