Intro To Timber Framing
This free download outlines everything you need to know about timber framing
Timber frame homes use a historically traditional building technique that joins large
timbers to create a strong and beautiful structure. These homes are easily recognized by
their exposed timbers that create a stunning and unforgettable visual effect.
Typically, timber frame homes are designed with open floor plans, as the need for
interior low-bearing walls is eliminated due to the strength of the frame. These homes
can incorporate a variety of external building materials, allowing a timber frame to
match any style and fit any setting.

Johnson cautions that the land questions can sometimes increase the budget dramatically. “If you have purchased a 100-acre parcel, for example, it’s likely that you’re not going to be developing all 100 acres. You can reduce costs by simply developing just one acre,” Johnson says.
