About Us
Our Story
Since we began in 1976, we have been a family-owned business driven by a passion for timber construction. Our journey began with an ambitious project: the disassembly and reassembly of a pre-revolutionary frame. This initial endeavor ignited our fascination with timber structures, setting the stage for our remarkable trajectory in the industry.
Over the years, we have proudly completed nearly 2000 projects, each showcasing our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
As a family-owned business, we bring a personal touch to every project, prioritizing client satisfaction and building long-lasting relationships.
Our expertise has evolved alongside advancements in the field, adapting to changing building codes and embracing innovative techniques without losing our fascination and respect for the materials.
With each project, we continue to carry forward our rich history and strive to exceed expectations, solidifying our reputation as a trusted leader in the timber construction industry.
Our Team
Our team is the driving force behind a wide range of timber construction projects, blending time-honored timber framing methods with contemporary building technologies for lasting results. Our team of experts is diverse, with specialists in Estimation and Pre-Construction, Project Management, Design, Fabrication, and Installation.
Our Project Management team plays a pivotal role, meticulously overseeing each project from inception to completion, ensuring timelines, quality standards, and client expectations are met with unwavering attention to detail.
Design is where ideas take shape. Our designers collaborate with clients to create structures that are not only visually appealing but also structurally sound. In Fabrication, the K2 team utilizes the precision of our Hundegger CNC machine, while our traditional carpenters bring their expertise in hand cutting and classic joinery, blending technology with craftsmanship in every project. The Installation crew brings these designs to life, adhering to the highest standards of construction safety and excellence.
At SCPB, we’re not just about constructing buildings; we’re committed to building lasting relationships with our clients, offering an unmatched customer experience that begins with the first consultation and extends beyond project completion.
