Timber Framing

  Timber framing, also known as post and beam construction, is one of the building methods chosen by Cross Timbers Custom Homes. In conventional building, the frame of the home is usually hidden. In timber framing construction, the frame is visible and meant to be appreciated as a finished surface and architectural detail. Colonial homes, churches, barns, and covered bridges were built this way in which large wooden timbers are joined together using wooden pegs. Cross Timbers utilizes the same structural techniques used by the old world craftsmen combined with modern framing techniques, high tech tools, and energy efficient insulation to design your custom home. The timber frame is adaptable to many different floor plans and styles from traditional to contemporary including Country French, English Tudor and Rustic.

  We purchase our timber frames and insulating panels from S.P. Brooks Company located in New Hampshire . They transport these building materials to your home site where our crew erects the frame. As the building process continues, the future home owner is supplied with an owner's manual from S.P. Brooks Company detailing every aspect of the building process.
