Our Philosophy
We take a very long view of what we do and build at Teton Timberframe. We design all our buildings to last for generations. We design them to use renewable energy and as little of that as possible. We carefully consider the sources of our forest resources and what their highest and best use is. We hire good, local craftsmen and treat them with respect. In the process we balance multiple bottom lines including profitability, social responsibility and environmental stewardship. We believe this vision should govern all business decisions and leads naturally to green building practices.
- Our frames are cut from reclaimed or FSC certified timber.
- The “waste” from milling timbers is used to build doors and fine millwork.
- We produce the bio-diesel that powers our equipment.
- We recycle everything in our shop that can be recycled in this region.
- We support the Timber Framers Guild Apprenticeship program.
