At Owl Ridge Timber Framing, our commitment is simple: The creation of energy efficient custom built timberframe structures, as elegant and distinctive as they are rich in tradition and craftsmanship. We have based this company on integrity, quality and service.

Owl Ridge Timber Framing believes in setting a price level that is attainable for the average income-earning person to build a home. You should not need to earn a six-digit income to afford the luxury of having an Owl Ridge Timberframe home. We are lowering the prices for Timberframing while offering the highest quality design, materials and workmanship. We want to keep the company smaller, more one-on-one with the customer. We have no sales staff or dealers in order to keep overhead low and mark-ups/commission are unknown words in our company.
Located on our new property in Chase, in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada, we serve clients in a wide geographic area, including the United States and Europe and Asia.

Typically, custom timberframe structures by Owl Ridge are cut from standing dead Douglas Fir, but winter cut Douglas Fir, Western White Pine, and other species are available. We are located near a low frequency drying kiln, which can dry the timbers to 11-12% with little checking or twisting. Owl Ridge promotes the use of reclaimed wood wherever possible, especially old growth Douglas Fir beams salvaged from warehouses and factories being torn down.

All joinery is traditional mortise-and-tenon secured with chamfered oak pegs. Complex roofs, dormers, and unique joinery techniques are a specialty for both residential and commercial structures. Timberframe trusses are also available for regular constructed homes to add flair and personality. Owl Ridge is associated with EnerGreen, structural panels to enclose, insulate and protect the timberframe, and with Heritage Millwork, a high quality millwork window and door company. Wood timber and log stairs as well as metal fabricated circular stairs with wooden treads are also available upon request.

We can supply FSC certified timber. FSC certification enables consumers to support responsible forestry and provides forest owners with an incentive to maintain and improve forest management practices. The Forest Stewardship Council provides an independent guarantee of credibility. The FSC provides a credible and consistent approach to certifying forest products. The result is that when consumers see an FSC logo on a forest product, they can be sure that their purchase supports forestry that meets the highest standards for environmentally and socially responsible forestry."
