searching for commercial heavy timber projects

Many of the commercial heavy timber project leads are found by searching. Our sales team spends quite a lot of time searching for new projects. We use Reed Construction Data, Dodge Construction, Bid Clerk and Construction Wire to name a few.

Heavy timber commercial work typically falls under division 06130, division 6131, division 06170 or division 06180. However we are not always listed in the 06 specifications...even if there is heavy timber in the project. SO, we need to be inventive and persistent on our searching and research.

The Vermont Department of Economic Development (Joanne) stopped in yesterday. We had a very informative meeting and look forward to her help in gaining access to more government bids.

One of our prettiest Timber Churches, The Christ Episcopal Church.

The Christ Episcopal Church in Springfield, MO is one of the prettiest churches I've seen. Take a look at the dark scissor trusses in beautiful douglas fir timbers.

The main chapel area continues with dark stained douglas fir timber trusses. This arched truss design is gorgeous and the steel tie is needed for strength.

At Vermont Timber Works we specialize in designing and engineering heavy timber for churches, monasteries, chapels and more. It works out great when architects come to us early with their ideas. We take a look, make suggestions, and help with the design.

Heavy Timber Frame with Timbers and Columns

Heavy timber construction in Katonah, NY. Douglas Fir Timbers with an FSC specification (because forests matter) and beautiful turned columns that taper. Take a look.

Rick, with the help of Ruby, Kellin and Mike, created 4 of these turned columns. Starting with a 16" diameter turned column and reducing it to 12". The taper creates a smooth transition from the base to the trusses. Great job Rick!

Vermont Timber Works and CREW will be raising this timber frame next week. Look for progress shots from the job site soon.
