What We Offer
At Heartwood, we specialise in the design, engineering, and consultation of traditional timber frames for those seeking to build enduring, character-rich structures themselves.
We are one of the few teams in Australia offering dedicated services for traditional timber framing and barn homes, combining time-honoured craft with sound engineering principles. Every project is approached with care, precision, and respect for both the material and the people who will live with it.
-
For clients who want support beyond the drawings, we offer consultation throughout the process—covering layout, sequencing, joinery, timber selection, and raising considerations. Whether you need a single session or ongoing input, we tailor our involvement to your needs.
-
We design authentic traditional timber frames rooted in proven historic principles and adapted for modern Australian conditions. Each design is bespoke and considers house design, joinery, timber species, and build methodology.
-
Working alongside qualified engineers, we provide certified documentation to ensure your frame meets Australian standards and approval requirements, while preserving traditional framing integrity.
