Custom Timber Frame Homes

From the very start until the very end of every project, we employ a balanced approach to make sure that all the homeowners’ needs – design, budget, and schedule – are addressed equally.  At each step in our design process, we hone further and further in on all of the details and components that will come together in your finished home.  With the experience of having designed thousands of homes, our team knows what questions to ask, when to ask them, and how to best assist our clients in translating their ideas into reality. 

Not at all! Woodhouse offers both pre-designed and custom design options. Clients who opt for our pre-design service can use our house plans as a starting point for their unique design ideas. Our custom design service allows clients to create their design concepts completely from scratch. Whatever your needs, we have the perfect levels of service to design the home of your dreams. Contact us today for more information.

Yes! We offer 3D images as part of both our pre-design and custom design services to help you visualize your project before it is built. You can choose 3D images of either the schematic/conceptual design stage or the construction drawing stage. We can even include your building site in the 3D imagery – just provide us the site address!

How you intend to live in your home is just as important as the design and layout of your home. This is why we start each construction project with our extensive client questionnaire that is customized to fully understand what is most important to you. Whatever living requirements you would like for your home, whether it’s aging in place, ADA compliance, or even just accommodating all 20 members of your family for Thanksgiving dinner, our highly skilled design team can incorporate any of your desires.

We understand how hard it can be to match the design on paper to the vision that’s in your head. With that in mind, we allow up to three revisions with our custom design package. Each of our sketch sets come with illustrations of several design and construction elements to help you better visualize your dream home. In addition to floor plans, geographic elevations, and square footage calculations, we also include visual aids such as timber frame isometrics, 3D fly-throughs and 360-degree panoramas.  To help you stay on budget, we also update our cost estimate with each sketch revision. 

No problem!  With a timber frame home you can use literally any exterior finishing material that you would like. Whether you want New England style cedar shakes, natural stone, or a cutting-edge modern aesthetic, our design team has you covered.

It doesn’t matter if you are building in Pennsylvania, California, or any state in between, we use the latest technology to allow you, your builder, and our design team to meet without having to leave your home or office. We use a wide range of virtual tools such as Go-to-Meeting, Google Hangouts, and Skype to facilitate meetings whenever you need them.

We know that you are going to be so excited with designing your new dream home that you’ll watch the 3D fly-through over and over again! This is why we share all your home drawings via your own project web link, allowing you to access them at any time and on any device. With your phone or tablet, you can use the 360° panoramic viewer to get a feel of what it will be like to stand in the great room of your new home long before you move in.
