Reduce Construction Waste With Timber Framing


 

Timber framing has been used as a construction technique for hundreds of years. This building technique provides a means of reducing the amount of lumber needed to build beautiful and environmentally friendly homes. Homes designed and constructed by Riverbend Timber Framing are constructed using the same techniques utilized in old fashioned barn raisings from centuries ago.

The process of manufacturing a timber framed home also utilizes significantly less energy than modern building techniques. For example, there is less need for cutting, fabricating, and kiln drying — each of which requires significant energy usage. There is also less waste from sawdust and lumber fragments.

Homes built by Riverbend Timber Framing are energy efficient, structurally sound, and naturally beautiful. For more information, see www.riverbendtf.com.
