“ We’ ve been able to speed up production by pre-fabricating timber structures on our plant floor. Everything is drilled ahead of time, so the pieces just come together on site. We also have a unique packaging system that allows us to move things easily and keep all the parts in order. That means any builder or contractor can put the buildings up quite easily.

Since being handed the company reins, Jack has helped grow Timberlyne into a national presence. As he details:“ We expanded our reach gradually over time, picking up new clients in Montana, California, and Texas. In 2008, we acquired a smaller traditional timber frame company, Texas Timber Frames, which made similar timber structures, and that also boosted our growth.
“ Texas Timber Frames did very ornate timber frame joinery work used in high-end custom homes, churches, and commercial applications. In 2008, I moved to Texas and began running that business. Around 2020, my dad and stepmother stepped away from the day-to-day side of the business, and we bought the businesses together under the name Timberlyne. That’ s where we are today. The Texas operation has adapted to the mass timber movement in commercial construction, using engineered wood components and large wood panels to replace steel and concrete.
“ We’ re very proud to offer a more sustainable option. Our commercial buildings are carbon-neutral, with our timber scope
