We’re here to make your job easier.
Timber and log projects ask builders to do something different than the day-to-day production work. Our role is simple: we take care of the parts that are unfamiliar, so you can focus on the parts you do every day.
Done the right way, a Hearthstone structure becomes
A defining project
The kind of home or barn that anchors a builder's portfolio for a decade.
A source of pride
For the whole team — the framers, the subs, the office.
A referral engine
Signature projects introduce you to the next client who wants one like it.
We’re not the GC. We’re the structural partner.
Hearthstone typically handles
- · Timber or log design refinement
- · The 3D manufacturing model
- · Cutting and labeling of all structural material
- · Delivery and unloading
- · Raising the frame or log package
- · Optional: taking the project to a dried-in shell
The builder typically handles
- · Site work and foundation
- · Utilities and mechanical systems
- · Infill framing, windows, doors, and finishes
- · Inspections and coordination with local trades
- · The overall schedule and jobsite management
Removing the fear factor.
One of the biggest concerns builders have is: "What happens when the trucks show up with all this timber or all these logs?"
That’s why we offer field installation of the frame or log package. Our raising crews:
- · Know the system
- · Know the sequencing
- · Know the tolerances
- · Answer questions on site
- · Show your team how the details work
- · Help avoid expensive trial-and-error
Your crew doesn’t learn timber or log construction on the fly. They participate — with guidance from people who’ve done this thousands of times.
Not the biggest — the best fit.
Some builders aren’t interested in this kind of work. That’s okay. The best fit is usually not the biggest production builder in town, but the one who:
- · Cares about design and detail
- · Is comfortable coordinating a special project
- · Is excited to add a defining home or barn to their portfolio
- · Manages subs and schedule with organization, but still enjoys one-of-a-kind work
Often this is a builder with a solid reputation and a mid-sized company — or a younger builder on the way up, looking for a signature project.
If you don’t already have a builder, we can often help you identify the right kind of fit in your area.
Remove uncertainty — not create it.
- · Your Hearthstone project manager is available by phone or email
- · Shop drawings and the 3D model clarify details before framing starts
- · Raising crew and PM coordinate on timing and logistics
- · Builders who’ve gone through one project with us usually find the second one much easier to price and manage
For many builders, timber and log construction isn’t an everyday thing. Our goal is to make it feel like it could be.
A short conversation goes a long way.
Whether you already have a builder, or you’re still looking for one, a short conversation can answer a lot of questions and help everyone feel more comfortable about the next steps.
