From Vision to Keys: The Turnkey Journey
Follow a simple, transparent path from early inspiration to move‑in. Our turnkey approach coordinates architecture, engineering, permitting, fabrication, and on‑site assembly under one accountable team, reducing guesswork and guarding budgets. You will always know decisions, next milestones, and how each choice affects performance, aesthetics, and cost.
What Makes CLT Different
Cross‑laminated timber brings the warmth of wood with the confidence of engineered performance. Thick, layered panels provide remarkable stiffness, resist deformation, and store carbon. In homes, this creates calm, tactile spaces where structure doubles as finish, reducing additional materials, waste, and construction time without sacrificing longevity or safety.
Factory‑Precision Assembly Explained
Off‑site fabrication turns your design into numbered panels, pre‑routed for services and sealed against weather. CNC machines cut openings with millimeter accuracy, while shop conditions protect quality. On site, cranes lift pieces like a kit of parts, enabling rapid, safe assembly that protects finishes and neighbors’ patience.
We create a detailed digital twin, coordinating structure, electrical runs, plumbing penetrations, and window packages. CNC files are generated directly, eliminating interpretation errors common in field framing. This reduces rework, accelerates enclosure, and produces crisp lines that stay true long after move‑in.
Set days are choreographed. Trucks arrive in order, slings and lifts are preplanned, hardware is staged, and crews communicate tightly. Neighbors appreciate reduced noise and shorter street impacts. By sunset, a recognizable form often stands, protected with temporary membranes and ready for follow‑on trades.
Because panels are manufactured indoors, moisture exposure is minimized and tolerances remain tight. Inspectors and clients often remark on cleaner sites and fewer punch‑list items. The result is better alignment for doors and windows, improved air‑sealing, and faster progress for interior craftspeople.
Design Freedom and Living Experience
Long spans eliminate many interior load walls, giving flexible layouts that evolve as families grow. Clerestories, skylights, and deep window seats bring generous daylight without glare. Tall volumes improve stack ventilation and make compact footprints feel expansive, reducing energy use while enhancing mood and productivity.
Mass timber’s density softens reverberation, while layered assemblies deliver privacy between rooms. Low‑VOC finishes preserve indoor air quality, and the hygroscopic nature of wood moderates humidity swings. Combine with balanced ventilation and quiet heat pumps for a calm, healthy environment that encourages rest, focus, and creativity.
Some rooms shine with exposed CLT, highlighting grain, knots, and subtle color shifts. Others benefit from gypsum, tile, or wood paneling for specific performance targets. Either way, robust mounting strategies and coordinated blocking keep walls clean, secure, and ready for shelving, artwork, and future adaptations.
Cost Clarity and Timeline Certainty
Transparent estimating arrives early and evolves with design. We model quantity impacts for design options, present allowances clearly, and lock critical items before fabrication. Off‑site work compresses schedules and removes weather delays, helping you plan financing, transitions, and move‑in with confidence grounded in data rather than hope.
Energy Performance and Smart Systems
A high‑performance envelope paired with efficient mechanicals lowers operating costs and elevates comfort. We analyze climate, shading, and occupancy to right‑size systems, prioritize airtightness, and minimize thermal bridges. Smart controls make performance intuitive, while future‑ready infrastructure supports upgrades like electric vehicles, battery storage, and adaptive demand management.
Envelope Strategy: Airtightness, Insulation, and Thermal Bridges
Continuous exterior insulation, taped seams, and careful window bucks protect CLT and maintain interior comfort. Detailing at balconies, edges, and fasteners prevents heat loss. Commissioning includes blower‑door testing, enabling objective verification that saves energy and ensures fresh air is delivered exactly as designed.
Mechanical Systems: Heat Pumps, Ventilation, and Controls
Quiet variable‑speed heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling, while heat‑recovery ventilation delivers filtered, fresh air with minimal energy penalty. Zonal controls accommodate different schedules and preferences. Integrated sensors surface simple insights, letting you optimize comfort without constantly tinkering or worrying about hidden inefficiencies.
Solar, Storage, and Resilience Planning
We evaluate roof geometry, shading, and interconnection early, so solar is integrated cleanly with wiring pathways and panel access. Adding batteries enhances resilience, supporting critical loads during outages. Together, these strategies reduce bills, shrink emissions, and support comfortable living even when the grid is under stress.
