Rick and Sandy on the road...

Look out Campton, NH here we come. Dan wanted to come with, but there just wasn't room in the sardine can. Maybe next time.

Vermont Timber Works doesn't always have a pre-install job site meeting, but it seemed to be needed for the White Mountain Administrative Complex Project. Coordinating the steel supports for our heavy timber trusses and Rick did find a few things that needed to be tweaked, so time well spent.

Rick and Rob (P & S Construction) discussed where we would be building the trusses, how the install would flow and where the crane would be. Plan is to be back during the week of 12/1.

Lunch at The Common Man in Ashland, NH on the way back was also time well spent. Thanks for buying Vermont Timber Works.

Timber Frame Raisings by Vermont Timber Works

Let's raise your timber frame! You have watched your project progress from the idea stage, drawings and design, engineering and now it's time to raise your timber frame. The raising is the most exciting part (in my opinion). At Vermont Timber Works we do not erect all of our timber frame projects, but we do quite a few.

WE have timber and will travel. Heavy Timber Frame Raisings!

Vermont Timber Works not only custom designs, engineers and hand crafts each timber frame project, we also raise many of them.

Recently our crew has traveled to:

  • Camp Wakenah, Salem, CT

  • Lake Taghkanic West Bathhouse, Taconic, NY

  • Katonah Memorial Park, Ancram, NY

This in just in the past 3 weeks, I guess you could say that we have been busy. It's ALL good though.

Timber Frame Raisings Coming up:

  • Shenandoah Visitor's Center, Bentonville, VA

  • Davis Residence (Phase 1), Sagaponack, NY

  • Mazur Antique & Craft Shop, Jamesport, NY

NOW would be the time to contact Vermont Timber Works if you are considering a hand cut and crafted timber frame project THIS YEAR. 802-886-1917

Vermont Timber Works contracts GMH Transport for all of our trucking needs. GMH covers the US and Canada and is wonderful to work with.

Heavy Timber Trusses are Flying in Katonah, NY.

This beautiful douglas fir heavy timber truss is on a gable and will be filled with custom windows. Design by George Rosamond at Lothrop Associates.


Vermont Timber Works installs and raises many of their timber frames, but not all. Doug, Peter, Mike, Jason, James, Kellin, Todd and MJ were all involved in this heavy timber truss installation. Great job guys!

Pictured above we have Anne Hanley (President of Katonah Memorial Park), Bill Heidepriem (Superintendent of Recreation & Parks) and Fred Camilli (Peter Camilli & Sons). Thank you all for choosing us, Vermont Timber Works for the Katonah Memorial Bathhouse Project. We appreciate your business very much.

Heavy Timber Framing in Stowe, Vermont.

Gorgeous heavy timber construction, currently under way at Spruce Peak in Stowe, VT. Take a look!
These double chorded douglas fir trusses span 80 feet and the octagonal design is quite something. See the ring truss? Lots of steel joinery in this one! The Engelberth Crew contracted Vermont Timber Works to coordinate the design of this project as well as the fabrication and assembly of these fine trusses. Engelberth is setting the trusses and doing a great job. NICE progress shots guys, thank you!

Below is a shot of the Spruce Peak Team on one of their visits to Vermont Timber Works.

Trusses are flying in Dartmouth, NS!



OK, this is one of the best parts of my job......seeing the projects come together.

These 4 trusses arrived in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, fully assembled.

Craned into place, one by one, right from the truck. These pictures are wonderful, thank you Jared @ Dora Construction for sending them.
