Strength in Tradition. Beauty in Design.

Custom Timber Frame Structures in Quebec

The Heart of the Frame: Masterful Joinery

At Fleur-de-lis Form, we believe the true strength and artistry of timber framing lies in its joinery. Unlike modern construction methods that rely on metal fasteners, traditional timber frames are held together by precisely cut, interlocking wood connections. This centuries-old technique creates structures of unparalleled integrity and enduring beauty, showcasing the custom carpentry expertise of our joinery experts.

Our Timber Framing Process

From initial concept to the final frame raising, Fleur-de-lis Form guides you through a meticulous, collaborative process designed to ensure precision, structural integrity, and exquisite results for your traditional construction project in Quebec.

1. Structural Design & Engineering

We collaborate closely with leading architects and structural engineers to translate your vision into a safe, code-compliant, and aesthetically beautiful timber frame design. Every beam and joint is thoughtfully planned.

2. Timber Selection & Milling

Only the finest large-format timbers, such as locally sourced Douglas Fir or White Pine, are selected for their strength and character. These are carefully milled to exact specifications in our workshop, ready for the next stage of precision joinery.

3. Precision Fabrication

Our skilled artisans employ a blend of traditional hand tools and modern machinery to cut all mortise and tenon, dovetail, and other complex wood-to-wood connections. This pre-fabrication in our controlled environment ensures unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

4. Frame Raising

This is the most exciting phase! Our experienced crew meticulously assembles the pre-fabricated frame on your building site. It’s a moment where months of design and fabrication culminate in a truly impressive display of craftsmanship.

5. Enclosure & Finishing

While Fleur-de-lis Form specializes in the timber frame itself, we seamlessly integrate with your chosen builder. We ensure proper interface for the enclosure – whether using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) or conventional framing – to complete your robust and beautiful structure.

A Timber Frame is More than a Building; It's a Statement.
