We can provide a complete service handling design, engineering, fabrication and installation of your Oak frame. We work closely with the client, general contractor and architect to ensure that the project runs smoothly to completion.

Oak Frame Design

Kolbon Oak Carpentry has talented designers.

We work with you or your personal architect to develop a floor plan and a timber frame design plan that will meet your requirements and needs.

The design phase begins with the initial sketches worked out by either you and your architect, or one of our in-house designers. The Design group, using AutoCAD software, begins by converting these sketches into computer generated drawings of your floor plans and elevations, creating the preliminary set of drawings.

The preliminary drawings are sent to you along with an isometric drawing of your Oak frame for approval. If changes are needed they are red-lined and re-submitted to the Design group for revisions. The revisions are made and once again the drawings will be sent to you for approval.

Upon approval of the final floor plan design and timber frame, more drawings, showing the foundation plan, and details are created. Our designer, using Cadwork software, also creates a computer generated 3-D model of the timber frame design. From this 3-D timber frame model the software then enables us to extract a 2-D timber frame drawing.

The end result is an accurately cut timberframe and a comprehensive set of final drawings which are used by Kolbon Oak Carpentry to fabricate your timber frame and your contractor to build your new timber frame home.

Engineering

Our design group closely cooperate with structural engineer who can produce calculations for all our Oak Frame buildings.

Manufacturing

Kolbon Oak Carpentry uses green Oak timber and traditional carpentry techniques.

Oak frame design is one of the oldest construction methods known consisted of Oak timer posts and beams, cut and shaped by hand and connected using dowelled mortise and tenon joints.

We are committed to our Oak Frame buidings in the same spirit that guided those timberwrights of bygone centuries.

Oak framing is a noble, majestic type of construction that utilizes exacting variations of mortise-and-tenon type of joints and massive Oak timbers to form the framework of a building. In our Oak framed buildings, the beautiful timber framework is left exposed to the interior of the house, creating breathtaking effects of open spaces and craftsmanship rarely seen.

During manufacturing process, the emotions and values of the company become as important as sharp tools and quality timbers.

The carpentry itself is the heart of the system. Our methods and types are taken from the living history books — those durable structures that have withstood centuries of dependable service..

ADAPTABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF DESIGN AND STYLE — BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR — ARE HALLMARKS OF OAK FRAME BUILDINGS.

Only the imagination is the limit….
