Let’s build something strong, beautiful, and made to last.

Timber Framing

Timber framing is a traditional construction method that uses large wooden beams and posts to create a structure. The beams are joined using traditional techniques like mortise and tenon joints or modern connectors, resulting in precise, air-tight joinery.

At Woodpecker, we blend old-world craftsmanship with modern precision. We source the highest quality Canadian wood fibre, which is shipped directly from the sawmill to our 15,000 ft² facility in Exshaw, Alberta. Timbers are cut in our joinery department, tailored to the project’s specifications. Depending on the complexity and type of timber, joinery may be hand-cut by our skilled timber framers or machine-cut using our in-house Hundegger ROBOT-Drive CNC machine.

Timber Framing That Matches Your Style and Build Plan.

From custom homes to large timber buildings, every frame is crafted to match your vision. For projects requiring surface texturing or finishing, the timbers move to our finishing department, where they are sanded or brushed and then stained or coated. Our team of skilled tradesmen can handle the installation of the timber elements, or we can transfer the responsibility to the client, depending on your preference.

Low-Waste, High-Performance Solutions
from responsibly sourced wood to environmentally conscious finishes, our timber manufacturing process supports better buildings and a healthier planet.

Mass Timber

Mass Timber construction uses large, prefabricated wood members for walls, floors, and roofs, and is often left exposed to showcase the natural beauty of the material. Common mass timber products include glue-laminated timber (glulam), cross-laminated timber (CLT), dowel-laminated timber (DLT), and nail-laminated timber (NLT). Mass Timber is rapidly gaining popularity due to its sustainability (sequestering carbon, making it a carbon-positive product), fast and efficient on-site installation, and unique aesthetic. It can be beautifully combined with other materials like steel and concrete.

At Woodpecker, we bring decades of European experience to every mass timber project. Whether it’s a mid-rise condo, a public school, or a one-of-a-kind home, we design, cut, and install to exact specs. The result? A smart, modern structure built to last.

Why Choose Mass Timber

Mass Timber offers high-performance, dimensionally stable options for constructing wood structures of any size residential, commercial, or institutional. Glulam beams are now used for expansive spans in stadiums, atriums, and curved designs. CLT, NLT, and DLT are used for shear walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs. Providing incredible design flexibility for architects, engineers, and interior designers.
