The Artisans of Post & Beam
Timberpeg homes are defined by the richness and warmth of the unadorned structure on full display.
Each pegged connection, splined joint, and archetypal truss makes tangible the most essential architectural principle that form should follow function.
Each frame contains a rich landscape of detail that taps into our instinctive desire for robust shelter and structural integrity. Timberpeg homes can embody virtually any architectural style, but they all deliver a profound visceral connection to structure and space that elevates each home into something more- a legacy.
Built around client vision and site. Intentional, purposeful, and personal.
With top architects, engineers, and building professionals to seamlessly integrate Timberpeg’s signature craft into any home style or floorplan.
And hand-finished woodwork that celebrate both tradition and technological sophistication.
Whether a grand family lodge or an intimate cottage, designs scale gracefully for any project.
Timberpeg approaches each home as an expression of structure, precision, and collaboration. We work closely with architects and builders to ensure the timber frame is not only structurally sound, but intentionally revealed. Every joint, connection, and truss is designed to support both performance and beauty, resulting in homes that feel grounded, purposeful, and enduring.

We didn't want a showplace lodge - we wanted something with the feel of a mountain cabin. Timberpeg executed perfectly on our package, and the quality is superb.
- Dennis & Jan Austin
"Austin, [our Regional Manager] was a source for knowledgeable and compassionate insight when we were most frustrated with financing issues. We felt he was able to remain professional while really understanding our situation on a personal level. We really do appreciate that Austin and Timberpeg could set aside any internal protocols and give our project the time to develop that ended up being necessary. We wish some of the other institutions involved in the process had shown as much professionalism. I am not overstating it when I say it was a difference-maker."
- David & Chris Hoyt, Pullman, WA
"We didn't hesitate for a moment on choosing Timberpeg. When it came to building our second home, there was no question that we'd do it again with Timberpeg. Based on the quality of Timberpeg materials, there was no motivation for us to choose another timber framer."
- Jim & Rae Ludke
"Every stage was exciting, fun and rewarding. We loved the process and did not want it to end. Our Timberpeg Representative was amazing. We loved working with him and give him an A+ for all he did. We cannot imagine how you could possibly improve your operation. It is top-notch!"
- Warren & Anna Jane Krebs
Holding an open house at our Timberpeg was a lot of fun. It was especially great to see all the interest in our project. It really speaks to the talent at both Timberpeg and Samyn-D'Elia Architects and the passion for your work that brings people out into the field with their families on the weekend to share the experience.
We have a deep appreciation for everyone who has contributed their talents to helping us realize our dream.- Mark & Lisa Olsheski
We had looked at other timber frame possibilities with a local builder, but he wasn't willing to work with our budget. [Our Timberpeg Independent Representative] Ken was a great listener and able to stay within our budget, and he was very open about what we could expect. He worked hard to get within our range. Just a little footnote that might interest you: Gill and I have a new member of our family, a little brown puppy from the local Animal Shelter whom we named "Timber". Now we are really sharing about Timberpeg as folks ask us how we chose his name!
- Martha & Gill Campbell
I had an excellent working relationship with [My Timberpeg Independent Representative] Jay. He would have done anything I insisted on (like tiling the kitchen floor) but he used his experience to point out other possibilities. When he explained that the tile wouldn't flow as well and suggested wood, for example, I realized he was right. Jay was flexible and accommodating and so was I. We had a very good relationship. Jay has incredible integrity and it was a pleasure to work with him.

We wanted a new house that looked like it had been here a while. We've traveled a great deal in Europe and the earthy European design with timbers showing, the rough stone and plaster appealed to us....We're into details and not into size so we wanted a builder who could put our dream into a design.
- John & Jeannine Regan
I chose Timberpeg to supply the timber frame and enclosure materials because they are committed to responsible and sustainable design techniques and provide framing and materials that are energy efficient and environmentally responsible. My Timberpeg local Independent Representative, Glenn Robertson has been available throughout with even the must mundane questions. He has always been very patient and most importantly encouraging all the way.

Begin with a timber frame that defines structure, supports design freedom, and brings clarity to the building process.
Our company designs and fabricates complete structural building envelope packages. Each project is unique and can include a wide range of components and services, which means the package cost can vary quite a bit, but typically ranges between $100 and $175 per square foot and represents between a quarter and a third of the overall cost of construction.
Ultimately, the cost to build our homes tends to follow regional “turnkey” price trends for similarly appointed high quality custom homes. Generally starting at $400 per square foot, our client’s preferences and priorities, regional code requirements, and project complexities are driving factors of the overall building cost.
Everywhere! Our homes are shipped throughout North America and internationally.
Timber frame is a classification of post and beam construction consisting of traditional wooden joinery, known as mortise-and-tenon, secured by wooden pegs. There are timber frame building methods, such as the Bent system where posts span, unbroken, from sill to eave or ridge and are erected in walls. (Bents run perpendicular to the ridge of the roof, while walls run parallel to the ridge). Post and beam home construction is a framework based solely on vertical and horizontal pieces: the posts and the beams. Post and beam homes are constructed in layers, with each floor built independently from the others. Typically, the posts and the beams are joined together by metal brackets.
Yes. Our company has collaborated with hundreds of architects to design and deliver homes across the country.
No. Our in-house design studio can work with you to develop a complete set of construction documents. Architects are a good choice for those that have complex design ideas and for those who are looking for a more complete set of plans that may include interior elevations, mechanical details, etc. If an engineering stamp is required, we work closely with our network of engineers nationwide to stamp our customers’ plans.
The design phase is typically a minimum of 3 months, and production is typically 3-4 months, so overall lead time from the beginning of your design to delivering the package is 6+ months. During the prime building months (May-November) our lead times can be greater than 8 weeks.
Complexity of design, engineering coordination, and sourcing of custom materials can also impact the time frame for delivery. We keep a well-stocked inventory of select structural, free-of-heart-center Douglas fir and eastern white pine cants. Other companies are often ordering their timber per-project, which adds significantly to the overall lead time. Our inventory allows us to move more quickly into production once the design is complete.
Because our homes ship nationwide, we work with licensed engineers in all 50 states. When requested or required, we can arrange to have plans reviewed by a consulting design professional such as an architect or engineer.
