Timber Frame Great Room

We are North Carolina Timber Frame Home Builders.  The terms TIMBER FRAME and POST and BEAM are often used interchangeably. Both have a skeleton frame using wood post and beams connected with joinery. Both provide structural support for the building. Both can be used with energy-efficient structural insulated panels (click to read about our Structural Insulated Panel Homes) or conventional framing. Both can also include “traditional” joinery. Both allow exterior and interior walls of your choice in materials, styles and finishes, from rustic to contemporary. There are endless options for truss designs, wood species, and finish options.

A Timber Frame Home uses timbers that joined with Traditional Joinery and are erected in pre assembled walls and bents. A wall is parallel to the ridge of the roof while a bent is perpendicular. The tight fitting joinery using wooden pegs creates a self supporting structure. This style of building has a rich tradition going back in history to early architecture.

Post and Beam construction uses only vertical and horizontal pieces and is completed with one piece erected at a time using simple joinery. The Post and Beam structure has upright posts and the beams are connected to give stability to the posts.
