A New England Post and Beam Home

From the design and engineering phase to the finished timber frame. Here is a wonderful example of a New England post and beam home.
Using traditional joinery and hand hewn white pine timbers the frame is craned into place and raised by Vermont Timber Works. Our crew does a great job, they have fun and it shows.

Look at the hand hewn timber, this frame looks like it's been in place for years and years.

From the kitchen area, throughout the first floor, you can see the post and beam construction and the warmth it creates.

Looking up to the loft and the 2nd floor area, this frame is a full timber frame, no doubt about that.

Here is our 2nd floor, they skylights add desired natural light. Very pretty.

Done. Now that is a New England Post and Beam Home. The addition in hand hewn white pine looks like it has always been there...Congrats Vermont Timber Works.

The Chase House, Post & Beam Construction

The Chase House, Post & Beam Construction by Vermont Timber Works, Inc.
The Chase House is one of our most popular post and beam homes. Sue and I receive many calls regarding budgetary pricing for it. Although we custom design and engineer each timber frame, many times we start with a project like the this one and customize it to suit the individual needs of the client. Here is the 24 X 40 floor plan, feel free to use it for ideas.

Charming & rustic with rough sawn hemlock timber and traditional joinery. The kitchen cabinetry looks to be custom also, beautiful.

Classic and clean the painted walls ready set off the timber frame, I just love it.

This photo gets your attention, the finished exterior. Just gorgeous and a wonderful example of post & beam construction.

The Post and Beam Process.

If you are considering a post and beam home, here are some examples of what to expect. Questions? Call Vermont Timber Works @ 802-886-1917, we are happy to help.

This is how it starts. Take your ideas to an architect and get that floor plan going! This floor plan has every thing you need for a single story home. The post and beam layout can be designed from that point. Making sure you LOVE it on paper first.

OK, now is the fun part, watching your timber frame home come together. The 3D renderings are part of our design and engineering stage.
Ready?



The timbers arrive and the bents are put together on the ground, craned into place.
Vermont Timber Works raises quite a few of our post and beam frames.

Careful !!



Watching the post and beam being raised is a wonderful experience. Especially when it is yours.



Gorgeous timbers! (and blue sky of course).



This is what your post and beam frame looks like when we leave. Ready to be finished off by your general contractor and other subcontractors.
