What is a Timber Home Kit?

A timber home kit is a pre-engineered design and materials package that features all the high-quality components needed to frame your structure once shipped to your site. This includes framing materials, premium window and door packages, connection hardware, builder-ready blueprints, builder support services, and much more. Our mill-direct relationships in the Pacific Northwest make it possible for our team to provide you with the finest heavy timbers available. As a result, each DC Structures client receives a building package that reflects our high standards for quality and is guaranteed to stand strong and beautiful for ages.

All of our timber frame home kits are framed with premium quality lumber, including Douglas fir purlins and rafters and heavy timber trusses. Our kits also come standard with high-quality knotty alder doors and window packages from our partners at Pella.

PREFABRICATION

At DC Structures, we provide an unparalleled prefabrication system that is designed to take the guesswork out of the construction process and ensure a fast and cost-effective build. Through the prefabrication process, our experienced craftsmen pre-cut, drill, and label the wood framing materials used to create your exterior walls, floor components, and roof. This process ensures that no materials are wasted on your job site and your structure is constructed in an efficient and precise manner. Prefabrication also allows for 30% to 50% fewer framing man-hours than a conventional structure, saving our clients thousands of dollars in equipment rental fees and labor costs.

Our Timber Home Expertise

WHAT IS MORTISE AND TENON AND WHY IS IT USED IN TIMBER FRAMING?

Timber framing is an ancient building method that uses wooden joinery instead of metal brackets to connect the large posts and beams that form the frame of a structure. We use some of the strongest woodworking joints, including mortise and tenon, to frame our timber homes. The mortise is a cavity that is cut into a piece of wood. It is designed to secure a wooden tongue, otherwise referred to as the tenon, on the end of another wood piece that is then inserted into the mortise. When cut to precision, mortise and tenon joints ensure posts and beams are securely fastened to each other and create a durable frame that can stand for generations.

VIRTUAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We use an industry-leading virtual project management platform to provide our clients with real-time, 24/7 access to their project details. This cloud-based technology allows you to manage your project from anywhere and communicate with our team and your builder using helpful in-app messaging tools. Taking control of your building kit process has never been easier!

OUR SIMPLIFIED KIT SELECTION PROCESS

Before signing on to a materials package from DC Structures, one of our project coordinators will walk you through our product line and the available options and upgrades to help you choose a home that is uniquely yours. Once you’ve approved the proposal and selected a ship date, we’ll review the building plans with your contractor to answer any questions about the design, materials, construction methods, and delivery. Our craftsmen will then prefabricate the wood components included in your package and send them to the destination of your choosing. Finally, our team stays on call for the duration of your build to ensure everything goes according to plan.
