The design process starts with choosing a style for your timber frame structure, followed by detailed design and planning.

This planning phase defines the size and dimensions of the timbers and develops the floor plans and elevations. We excel in integrating diverse design elements, whether you're interested in incorporating custom metal details or a mix of heavy-sawn timber and glulam.

Our extensive experience ensures we can meet complex design and production demands. You can engage our design services following initial discussions about your budget and style or work with an external architectural firm and then engage our team for pricing and manufacturing.

After your design is finalized, we will begin creating your timber frame.

Seasoned logs from our yard are precisely cut at our sawmill.

The timber is then programmed for joinery using our advanced K2i 1300 machine, ensuring each joint is perfectly crafted.

Each wood is planed, hand-cut, and receives a factory-applied stain finish for durability and aesthetic appeal, setting the standard for excellence in Canadian Timberframes' production.

Our expertise in planning and logistics ensures the smooth shipment of your timber frame package, regardless of the location.

Whether your site is local or overseas, we handle all the details to ensure your package arrives in perfect condition and is complete with all necessary assembly documents.

Our capability to manage global shipments, including complex deliveries by barge or helicopter, underscores our commitment to meeting your project's unique logistical needs.

The final phase of your project involves the assembly of the timber frame on site.

Our sales and marketing team stays connected with you or your contractor throughout the construction process to ensure everything progresses smoothly.

We value the opportunity to see our work come to life and encourage you to share photos of the construction and the completed structure to inspire others and celebrate your new timber frame home.
