Want to save time, have less worry, and make more money? Add a quality timber frame subcontractor to your stable of partners.

A timber frame subcontractor can provide the same benefits as other trade subcontractors that you already engage frequently like plumbers, electricians, drywall, and paint/finish, to name a few. A quality timber frame is more involved than buying some timbers and throwing them up. Complete, quality jobs requires selecting the right materials, preparing materials properly, performing precise woodworking joinery on large, and sometimes very large materials. Small mistakes like a miss-cut can delay a project for many weeks and cost hundreds of dollars in material alone.

Instead of dealing with all of this complexity with your team, a timber frame subcontractor can make the entire process much more manageable and risk free. Primary benefits fall into two categories: the first is a higher quality finished product and the second is competitive advantages that can be gained from using an expert subcontractor.
