Goshen Timber Frames Design & Build Services

Goshen Timber Frames provides a design-build service which allows you the flexibility to either custom design your timber frame home or hybrid  or revise an existing Goshen home plan to suit your needs. As a part of Goshen's in-house design service, we design the timber frame and provide home plans including elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, specifications, sections and details for the entire project, including conventional or panelized additions.

Our designers, Mark Westhoven and Bobby Johns, have a wealth of experience from which to draw. Mark's strong background in custom home design, including timber frames for the past ten years.  Bobby began as a joiner and he brings knowledge of the joinery to life on paper. Bobby also works with the Dietrich's design program to help our customers bring their designs into 3D.

When we design your Goshen timber frame, we start with development of a floor plan, and proceed through preliminary home plans to final drawings. Home plans include elevations, floor plans, foundation plans, specifications, sections and details.  We work closely with an engineer who will provide engineered foundation plans, if needed to meet code.

The design cost is included in the quote you will receive on your project. If an architect or engineer's stamp is required by your local building department, Goshen will recommend and work with an Architect or Engineer to develop your plans.

After fifteen years in the custom home building industry, I can honestly say that "Mrs Pickartz and her staff are some of the most pleasant, knowledgeable and professional craftspeople I have ever worked with." I highly recommend Mrs Pickartz to anyone wanting to make their dream home a reality! - T. Melzer, Alabama
