Timber frame shop drawings are a two dimensional representation of the timber frame. They include every detail necessary to fabricate and install the finished product including:

  1. Isometric views of the frame.
  2. Plan views.
  3. Section views of the bents.
  4. Joint details.
  5. Productions lists.
  6. An engineering stamp if required.
