How do i start ?
Whether you're planning a house, cottage, cabin or barn, we build structures with a sense of power and grace.
You may have floor plans, clippings from magazines and websites, a pile of timbers and lots of questions or just an idea you want to have sketched out and priced. We welcome involvement in your project at whatever stage of the process you may be in.
Our services include: Design, joinery and raising of timber frame / post and beam and heavy timber structures that range in size from backyard offices and accessory dwelling units to barns, cabins, cottages and smaller residential projects.
We can provide complete design, construction, consulting and project management for all phases of your project.
We are advocates of the Pretty Good House philosophy and believe strongly in Sustainable / Local / Net Zero and High Performance Design. You have more options then you might think and in many cases greener choices can cost the same or less then alternatives with a larger impact on the planet.
Take a look through our selected project pages. We work on a wide range of buildings for a diverse group of clients.
