We’ve partnered with local professionals who will answer questions and provide information on topics like heating and cooling, engineering and site issues, budgeting for,  and decorating your timber frame.

So join us, either here in Franklin or online for one of our events this year.  The first webinar, “Designing Your Timber Frame Home” takes place on March 31st and space is limited, so sign up now .  Our first open house of the year will be on April 1st, no fooling.  Don’t miss it.

Designing and building timber frames doesn’t isolate us from the rest of the building world.  A timber frame company should be able to speak with authority to much more than building timber frame homes.  We should be informed and educated about all the components that bring the project together.  That isn’t to say that we can be expected to be experts in all the building trades.  We should, however, be conversant with the most current building materials and practices.

The Builders’ Show gives us the chance to make sure that we have answers…or at the very least know where to get the answers for our clients.  We’ll spend three days from early morning until late in the day trying to take it all in.  The recipients of all this hard work will be the clients for whom we design and build timber frames.

We’ll come back excited about new technology and a lot more able to supply the information that’s important to anyone building today.

That said, I’ll close for now.
