Our Philosophy:

Quality and workmanship is paramount. Therefore we have a small, dedicated and

trained staff that keeps a close eye on every step of the process of building your home.

It is important to us that the homes we build are:

We are driven by a passion for working with solid wood and building things that are made to last. Having lived and been trained in the alpine region of Germany and Austria, we immersed ourselves in the traditional building techniques using solid wood, natural rock and bricks. Studying traditional European timber framing techniques, we combine traditional joinery with the latest innovations in heavy timber construction. TG Timberworks was established in 2010 out of a desire to bring these building techniques to Canada, creating beautiful, comfortable and healthy living spaces for our clients.

built from natural materials as much as possible that not only have a high performance, but are also easily recyclable when necessary

with solid wood sourced from carefully managed ecosystem-based forestry operations

and have a vapour permeable, "breathable" building envelope.
