Building a Timber Frame Retirement Home

Welcome to the first day of timber frame installation for a 2,500 square foot retirement home on Maine's stunning coastline. With the foundation and first floor platform already in place, we're ready to begin erecting the heart of this custom home - its Douglas Fir timber frame.

Our team specializes in blending traditional timber frame construction with modern Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) technology, creating energy-efficient, beautiful homes built to last. The rich red hues of the Douglas Fir timbers add warmth and character from day one.

Follow our progress as we complete a timber frame and SIP shell in four days over three episodes.
