THE VALUE OF BESPOKE TIMBER TRUSSES

 

Exposed timber trusses are a powerful design element that can transform any space. In modern homes or commercial properties alike, trusses add warmth and sophistication, which creates an inviting atmosphere. Turning a simple architectural feature into a conversation piece, bringing that “WOW” factor.

Whether you’re aiming for a cozy, rustic vibe or a sleek, modern look, the natural beauty of Douglas Fir, Macrocarpa or other locally grown timbers can complement most designs. When incorporated into vaulted ceilings or open-plan layouts, trusses help enhance the sense of space, making a room feel larger and more open.

Beyond their visual appeal, bespoke roof trusses are a smart financial investment, because they can significantly increase the value of your property. Not everyone has the budget for a full timber frame home, but many people can accommodate the cost of bespoke timber trusses into their budget. In our experience, it’s the experienced property developers, architects and seasoned house-flippers who inherently appreciate the value of quality timber trusses. This is because of the added appeal they bring to potential buyers and tenants. We have several property development and architect clients who regularly use our trusses in their developments. We are thrilled of course, and we admire the respect they show their tenants, by investing in quality materials. Cheaper options are around for sure, and they know that. It’s really validating to know that some of the country’s top property minds see the value in our work.

If you’re serious about creating a great space but don’t have the budget for a full timber frame, you might like to consider bespoke timber trusses. See our trusses page to get an idea of the styles – there are a lot to choose from, and of course we can design something just for you. Our timber is premium grade and locally grown; we typically fell it from plantations nearby our property in Hawke’s Bay and craft it onsite here on the farm.
