Our Process
We provide expertise and support from start to finish
We know that collaborating with architects and builders is key when it comes to designing and building a custom commercial timber frame building. We create a dialogue up front and consult often during the project, providing multiple touchpoints throughout the design/build process.
Consultation
Customization
We work with architects and contractors to give customers choices whenever possible. By doing so, we ensure the finished product reflects their individual taste and design aesthetic, and also fulfills any needs specific to the building’s use, whether it’s an office building, wedding venue, multi-family unit, or school or university.
Coordination
To ensure the commercial construction process runs smoothly, we coordinate with builders early and often. Our experts are available to answer questions and provide additional consultation as needed. Our goal is to make sure the customer’s vision becomes reality — while paying close attention to cost considerations and schedules.
SPOTLIGHT ON MASS TIMBER
Mass timber is a framing style that uses large solid wood panels — typically panelized and engineered — for wall, floor, and roof construction. These panels can be used on their own or in combination with traditional commercial construction materials such as steel or concrete. Mass timber panels are prefabricated and assembled off-site and are typically composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glued laminated timber (glulam).
Benefits of building with mass timber include:
- Exceptional dimensional stability and rigidity
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Shorter construction timelines
- Less impact to job sites
- High thermal envelope
- High fire resistance
Mass timber is ideal for tall-wood buildings. Popular mass timber building types include office and mixed-use, public and institutional, hospitality, and schools and universities.
