When building your home, you can choose to build a timber frame cabin. This homebuilding method offers many benefits for interested homeowners. Timber frame home construction combines the best of two worlds. These home designs have the rustic look of a log or lodge home, but they also provide modern conveniences that are not available in some log houses, such as those built from stacked wood logs. Timber frame homes are a cost-effective way to build a home. It can be less costly to build a timber frame home than a log house. Timber frame house designs use less lumber because only the framework is made of timber. They are also less labor intensive to build. This saves money on manpower and requires fewer heavy machines, such as cranes, for moving building materials around construction sites. SIP walls are usually built quickly, saving time and money.

Timber frame houses offer flexibility. With a timber-frame home design, you can go hybrid by using half-timber framing to frame the common areas in the home (such the great room) while using half-stick framing to frame the rest of it. The look of a timber frame or log home can be achieved by using wood paneling or log siding. Timber frame homes are eco-friendly. Wood is an eco-friendly building material, as trees are a renewable source. Timber frame home designs use less wood and therefore require fewer trees.

Structured insulated panels are used in most timber frame home designs. They have many environmental advantages, including reduced energy consumption, less construction waste and improved indoor air. SIPs create an airtight, well-insulated shell for a home. SIPs combined with other energy saving techniques have consistently shown homes built with SIPs to save energy by 50-60 percent annually. Timber frame homes are very strong. There’s a very good reason why timber frame home designs from hundreds of years ago still exist today. Timber frame homes are more resistant to fire, can withstand strong earthquakes and hurricanes, and can flex and absorb the impact of seismic conditions.
