Your Plans, Our Timber Frame Expertise
Whether you have fully developed architectural designs made for timber framing or are envisioning adding timber elements to existing plans, Arrow Timber Framing is ready to guide you. Our process begins with a comprehensive feasibility assessment to ensure your design style, investment, and expectations are all aligned with the potential timber frame for your plans. From there, we'll work closely with you to create a personalized timber design, considering your aesthetic preferences, structural needs, and budget. Our experienced craftsmen will then translate this design into reality using traditional joinery techniques, ensuring a structure that is both artistic and meticulously crafted to the highest standards. Let's explore how timber framing can turn your ideal floor plan into a stunning, one-of-a-kind reality.
