From shop floor to final assembly, careful coordination is essential to a successful timber project. At Woodpecker, every timber package is checked, labelled, bundled, and prepared for safe delivery and efficient installation. Our team coordinates logistics, site readiness, lifting requirements, and installation planning to help reduce delays and keep your project moving smoothly on site.
Quality control is built into every stage of our process. Before production begins, shop drawings are reviewed by two draftspersons to confirm accuracy, coordination, and constructability. During fabrication, each timber component is inspected against project specifications and internal quality standards. Before shipping, every package is reviewed to ensure all required components, fasteners, plugs, and connectors are complete and ready for installation.
Our shipping team carefully prepares each timber package for safe transport to site. Timbers are bundled, protected with cardboard corners, and secured with steel banding to help minimize movement and damage during shipping. Depending on the destination and project requirements, packages may also be tarp-covered for added protection. Smaller projects are delivered using Woodpecker trucks and trailers, while larger shipments are coordinated through highway transport carriers.
Installation requires detailed planning and close coordination to ensure the timber structure is assembled safely, efficiently, and on schedule. Before delivery, our project managers work with the general contractor or site foreman to confirm site readiness, installation sequencing, and lifting requirements. For larger or more complex projects, our engineers can also provide stamped installation drawings outlining erection procedures, sequencing, and temporary bracing requirements.
Woodpecker supplies timber frame and mass timber packages to projects across the United States, combining Canadian timber, precision fabrication, and experienced craftsmanship. For U.S. clients, working with a Canadian timber partner can offer access to strong, stable wood species, advanced CNC production, and competitive project value, especially when exchange rates are favourable. From early planning to cross-border delivery, our team helps coordinate the details needed to get a complete, high-quality timber package to site.
Ordering from Canada is a straightforward process. We begin with an initial consultation to review your project scope, design goals, structural requirements, and timeline. From there, we provide a detailed quotation covering materials, fabrication, customization, and shipping. Once approved, our team manages drafting, engineering coordination, production, and logistics while remaining available for design support, technical questions, and ongoing project coordination.
Project timelines vary depending on design complexity, engineering requirements, material selections, and production scheduling. We work closely with clients, architects, and builders to establish realistic timelines early in the process and maintain clear communication throughout drafting, fabrication, and delivery. By confirming key details before production begins, we help keep the project moving efficiently from design approval to final shipment.
We regularly coordinate shipments throughout the United States and are experienced with cross-border timber transportation, customs documentation, and import requirements. Many prefabricated timber products may qualify for duty-free trade between Canada and the U.S. under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Our team works with trusted shipping partners and customs brokers to help manage transportation, paperwork, and delivery coordination efficiently and accurately.
Timber packages for U.S. projects are designed to meet applicable building standards and local jurisdictional requirements. We work with structural engineers and project teams to support code compliance, including structural loading, seismic design, wind exposure, fire safety, and energy performance considerations. Whether your project falls under IRC, IBC, or regional requirements, we help coordinate the engineering and documentation needed for approval and construction.
Every project is pre-fit, packaged, and delivered with precision. Our team ensures fast, efficient timber frame installation so your build stays on schedule and on budget.
