Timber framing solutions are becoming increasingly popular in residential and commercial construction. The advantages of timber frame construction—including improved energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and aesthetic appeal—provide obvious advantages for builders who want to stand out from the competition. However, there are challenges involved in utilizing structural timber, challenges that are best addressed by working with experienced timber frame construction companies.
The team at Hamill Creek has the knowledge and resources to help commercial developers achieve their development goals. We can assist in determining timber frame construction costs, sourcing materials, designing building plans, and more. Contact us to learn more.
Benefits of Working with a Timber Frame Company
Consultancy from reputable timber frame builders offers multiple advantages, including:
Streamline Project Timelines
One of the big challenges with structural timber is sourcing materials and specialists. Large timbers are only available from certain suppliers in specific geographical areas. Depending on the type of framing you are doing, specialists are often required to join structural timbers in a way that meets regulatory requirements and aesthetic requirements.
Our company has significant experience in creating realistic and optimal project timelines for builders. Surprises and delays can still happen—especially with larger projects—but they are much less likely with the careful planning and logistics our team can provide.
Reduce Construction Costs
Time is money and materials are always a major cost in commercial development. But we can do a lot to minimize downtime and to ensure you get the best timber at the best prices.
For example, one big mistake builders new to structural timber make is assuming that timber is as readily available as other common materials. Unlike the materials used in stick-built framing, structural timbers are much rarer. You need to know the right places to get them and you have to allow extra time to source them.
For builders who make this kind of mistake, it can lead to prolonged downtime on site. This situation can leave your other crews idling while you wait for materials, which is costly.
With proper planning and the right connections, like those we have at Hamill Creek, you can avoid common pitfalls like this one. We can make sure you know exactly when to expect your materials so you can plan accordingly and avoid paying for labor you can’t use.
Meet Sustainability Goals
Getting a sustainability certification requires meeting stringent standards. It’s not necessarily enough to use a certain amount of wood in your building, for instance. Where you get the timber from and how you use it are all important factors to consider.
Our team is well-versed in sustainability standards and we can advise you on how to meet whatever specific goals you have in mind. It’s one of the things we excel at.
How Can Construction Costs Be Reduced?
Proper planning is essential to keep construction costs down. If you don’t have a lot of experience in working with structural timber or you have not worked at the scale you are now considering—such as moving from residential to commercial builds—there is a real risk of costs ballooning. What you don’t know can become very expensive in larger construction projects.
That’s why so many commercial developers choose to work with us on their projects. They know that experience matters.
