Timber Frame Vs Hurricane Ian

We closely monitored the devastating weather in Florida last week — our field crew is working in the center of the state. We had our operations team ready to pull them out but we were grateful to see the brunt of the storm pass our site with no damage.

Our completed projects outside of Fort Myers, in solar-powered Babcock Ranch, got hit with the full force of the hurricane but escaped unharmed as well.

Cabin Series | Full Assembly Video

We edited a short video of our team building this timber frame cabin in a solar powered city in Florida.

Babcock Ranch developers chose to work with Timberbuilt because of our style and our energy efficient building envelopes.  Our cabin design can be dressed to sport a rustic appeal, but under their wooden surface you’ll find the SIPs wall and roof panels are full of air-tight foam insulation.

This video gives you a good idea of what we handle (design, engineering, installation of the timbers and panels) and what we do not. It also shows off our timber frame crew in action.
