Our crew often travels to hand-assemble each frame. Most of our frames can be enclosed in a matter of days. We pre-assemble parts in our shop whenever possible, and then use large cranes to raise the frame. In less than a week the timber frame raising is complete and ready for a local contractor to finish.
The first step of the assembly process is putting the bents together on the deck. Multiple bents are stacked on top of each other. Then a crane lifts the bents into position. After the bents are braced, the purlins & connecting pieces are dropped in place. Usually four to five bents can be raised in one day. The next day is spent tightening the joints & preparing the heavy timber frame for the next contractor.
We assemble & raise timber frames throughout the northeast and beyond, using both heavy natural timbers and glue-laminated timbers.
