At Post & Beam we help people design and build a style of home that’s DEFINITELY NOT "run of the mill." Our customers come to us to build their dream home, a home as unique and individual as themselves…
Our homes are NOT the rectangular "soulless" boxes you so commonly see today.
These dream homes include beautiful, exposed timber that make a grand impact; creating a warm, natural feeling inside the home, and a striking statement about it’s owners and their values.
But while the aesthetic beauty of large exposed timber frames is a feature of our homes, these frames are not just beautiful, they’re also extremely practical, because they're load -bearing.
This means interior and exterior walls are non-load bearing, which creates incredible freedom in design, layout and the use of building materials. Virtually any building material can be used, in both interior and exterior walls. And internal design possibilities are pretty much infinite.
We are often asked to use Timbercrete masonry for external walls but virtually any material can be used because of the unique load-bearing properties of our framing system.
Some of the other common materials we build with include, Colorbond cladding, timber cladding, mudbrick, straw bale, blue stone and brick veneer.
So if you’re inspired by the romantic and practical concept of building with beautiful exposed timbers and other materials of your choice, congratulations, you’ve come to the right place.
