Heavy Timber Trusses,Post and Beam Projects, Timber Framing

If you've been considering building a Timber Frame Home, or using Heavy Timber to dress up your existing residence, Vermont Timber Works can help.

Building with Heavy Timber is very different than building with conventional methods, and sometimes clients aren't exactly sure what to expect when inquiring about a Timber Frame.

Here are a few quick tips that I'm hoping will help to enlighten you before you get started.

When Calling to inquire about a Timber Frame, whether for a heavy timber home, a Post and Beam Barn, a commercial project, or even just a few decorative trusses, be prepared to learn that from start to finish, the process of purchasing a timber frame and receiving the final product generally takes about 12-14 weeks.

Also, please keep in mind that the tools and the fabrication process for building with Heavy Timber are very different than conventional framing, and that the costs cannot be compared "apples to apples". If you have a budget that doesn't allow for a complete Heavy Timber Frame, perhaps a few Timber Accents would add a certain new flare to your project. We'd be happy to suggest a truss design for your Great Room or Kitchen.

Please call us for a free estimate. I'm sure that Vermont Timber Works can provide you with a Timber Framing Plan to meet both your needs and your budget.
