The Engineering & Craftsmanship Moat

Why our timber frame structures outlast ordinary buildings by centuries. True wood-to-wood joinery, in-house licensed engineers, and CNC precision.

100% Wood-to-Wood Joinery

No cheap stamped metal gusset plates. We cut authentic mortise and tenons secured with kiln-dried white oak pegs. As humidity shifts across seasons, the wood tightens rather than working loose.

In-House Licensed P.E. Engineers

Led by President Everett Skinner IV, P.E., our in-house engineering team calculates snow loads, wind shear, and seismic ratings for your exact county, stamping architectural plans for fast local permitting.

German Hundegger CNC Joinery

Inside our 37,000 sq. ft. Ellington facility, computerized Hundegger K2 joinery machines cut mortises, tenons, and housings with sub-millimeter precision, followed by hand-sanding by master timber artisans.

Common Questions Before You Build

Key answers regarding town permits, foundation preparation, assembly timelines, and timber durability.

Yes, 100%. Every building package includes sealed blueprints stamped by our in-house licensed Professional Engineers (P.E.), custom-calculated for your municipality's specific snow load, wind speed, and seismic codes.

Most barns are built on either a continuous poured concrete frost-wall with slab or a monolithic slab-on-grade. Open pavilions use concrete piers with steel standoffs. We supply complete foundation layout blueprints showing exact anchor points and load reactions for your concrete contractor.

Yes. Because each joint is precision CNC-cut and labeled with color-coded tags matching your 3D manual, any competent 3–4 person framing crew can raise the structural bents in just 2 to 4 days.

In New England and New York, our master crew can manage the complete turnkey build from foundation excavation to roofing. Nationwide (all 50 states), we ship pre-cut, pre-mortised timber kits directly to your job site on dedicated flatbeds.

Yes. Heavy timber frames support all roof loads on the perimeter posts, meaning there are zero interior load-bearing walls. You can insulate with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), run plumbing and electrical chases, and finish full luxury living spaces.
