We focus on quality and precision with each and every build. You have discovered Cornerstone Timberframes… a family run enterprise located in Mitchell, Manitoba, with over 20 years experience building strong, beautiful timber frame homes and cottages in Canada and the U.S. Cornerstone Timberframes can be traced as far back as 1885.

Rain isn’t the problem.
Not planning for it is.
Mass timber gets wet during construction. That’s expected.
Panels sit on site, they get hit by weather, and that’s normal.
What separates a clean install from a staining and rework problem is whether the moisture plan existed before the first panel shipped.
A real mass timber team thinks about this upfront. End-grain sealing. Protective wrapping. Install sequencing that limits how long panels sit exposed. Drying allowances built into the schedule so wood reaches the right moisture content before the building gets closed in.
The crews that get surprised by weather are the ones who treated moisture as a site problem instead of a design and fabrication decision.
By then it’s already a change order.
At Cornerstone Timberframes, moisture management is part of the plan, not a reaction to the forecast.
If you’re spec’ing a mass timber project, ask your fabricator how they handle water before the panels arrive. The answer tells you a lot.
