Timber Frame Package or Turn Key House?
In the case of many dream homes the client prefers a very hands on
experience, and in this case a Timber Frame package can provide that
opportunity. On the other hand, if you require a completed home, this too
can be provided.
What Our Timber Frame Package Includes:
- A custom designed timber frame structure erected on your site.
- 2x6 tongue and groove flooring as the second floor deck.
- Handrailing sections where needed.
- Double glazed wood framed windows and exterior doors.
- Transportation of the frame and enclosure system to your site.
- A stress skin panel enclosure system (R28 walls, R45 roof).
- Six sets of finished drawings.
Client's Responsibilities:
- Construction of the main floor deck and foundation.
- All mechanical systems (i.e. plumbing/heating/electrical).
- Final roof covering (i.e. shingles/shakes/metal).
- Site development and services (i.e. water/hydro/septic).
- Appliances and finishes (i.e. flooring/paint/cabinets).
- Fixtures (i.e. tubs/showers/toilets).
- Stairs and railings if not integrated with the frame.
- Interior partitions, drywall, and drywall finishing.
- Any required building permits.
