Timber Frame Design Build: Design, Fabricate & Build Your Custom Log Home

Our Timber Frame Design Build Process: Design, Fabricate & Build

PrecisionCraft and our award-winning in-house architectural firm, M-T-N Design, have spent over 30 years perfecting a fully integrated timber frame design build model for custom log and timber homes. As your designer, fabricator, and timber frame general contractor we eliminate the coordination gaps and accountability blind spots that arise when these roles are split between separate companies.

Our team designs your architectural plans, precision-fabricates every log and timber at our facility, and then builds your home on-site from foundation to certificate of occupancy. Hand-selected materials, inspired mountain design, and skilled craftsmen combine to produce homes built to last through generations. Each home also incorporates an energy-efficient structural shell system, including SIPs that accelerates construction and maximizes year-round comfort. Over three decades, PrecisionCraft has established itself as the Mountain West’s most experienced log home design build contractor.

Locations

The clients for which we design, fabricate, and build custom mountain style homes deserve meticulous and constant oversight of their project. That is why PrecisionCraft selectively offers Design Build services for clients building in the northwest U.S near one of our offices. We focus on both resort locations, such as Big Sky, Jackson Hole, and Sun Valley, as well as remote areas amongst the Rocky Mountains. Below are some of the specific locations where we are currently building. Speak with your Client Representative regarding additional locations.

Step 1: Custom Log & Timber Frame Home Design

PrecisionCraft’s in-house architectural team — M-T-N Design — has decades of experience designing mountain style homes throughout North America and beyond. Our design process covers every step, from gathering initial ideas to creating engineered construction drawings.

Our unique expertise gives us the ability to design sophisticated architectural log and timber elements that will truly set your home apart. We have also won numerous awards from the National Association of Home Builders for our unique and inspiring home designs. Our designers collaborate closely with you to uncover the essential elements of your custom log or timber home and find stunning ways to bring your concept to life. You can trust that we’ll bring our design expertise to your project to capture your vision and make your dream home come to life.

Step 2: Fabricating Log & Timber Materials

The beauty of a PrecisionCraft home begins long before your foundation is poured — it begins at our fabrication facility, where every log and timber is hand-selected, precision-cut, and assembled to the exact specifications developed by your M-T-N Design architect. Our craftsmen hand-select every Douglas fir log, then prepare each one using fabrication methods that include hand-peeling, machining, and framing to ensure correct sizing, notch placement, and drilled holes for the Non-Settling System.

This integrated approach, where the same team that designed your home also fabricates its materials, is a defining advantage of our design fabricate build log home model. It eliminates the specification drift and material substitutions that can occur when design and fabrication are handled by different vendors. We also fabricate the energy-efficient components that complete the structural shell of your home, including Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), ensuring every element of your timber frame design build package is engineered and produced to work together seamlessly from day one.
