The Architect
Depicting the Vision:
Architects have tremendous responsibility in the planning, development and success of their projects.
That success is dependent upon receiving accurate information from stakeholders including the project owner and the builder.
Preconceived ideas combined with the common misnomers of timber framing can undermine, delay or destroy the success of your original timber framing plans.

In timber framing project planning, an astonishing amount of communication, predictions, and decisions are required to bring ideas from conception to completion. As specialty contractors, we understand that you may be involved in the construction process even when schedules, hiring choices and costs are out of your control. Regardless, you take the blame if the project goes over budget or if schedules get behind due to shoddy plans. The snowball effect begins and change orders drive up your costs up while your profit dwindles, and most importantly, your customer gets frustrated and is delayed.
With Arrow Timber Framings’ expertise, these costly mistakes will be avoided. Our proprietary system will accommodate and support virtually any building style using Hybrid Timber Framing.
We fabricate our own components which means you can directly control the cost of the Timber packages you design. To this end we help Architects to relieve some pressure, using the expertise we have developed within our narrow scope of work.

“I just wanted to thank Arrow Timber Framing for the outstanding job you did on my timber framed pavilion. I cannot tell you how much we enjoy the work of art that you designed, and the craftsmanship that you were able to put into our structure at our home. You have a skill that is hard to find these days. In addition, everyone that sees it is amazed at both your design, and your quality.”.
