Brooks Post & Beam

Brooks Post & Beam has been designing and building timber frame homes and barns since 1967. Paul Freeman took over the company from Phil Brooks in 2006. Phil started out by dismantling and recovering old New England timber frame barns but the demand for frames quickly exceeded the supply of these traditional heavy timber structures. Before long our focus was on new energy efficient "green" buildings. We have been building green for over 40 years now. In the early days Phil helped develop and evolve the stresskin panel that make our homes incredibly energy efiicient. Many of our early panel, wiring and plumbing details have been accepted as industry standards, others have copied our spline joinery recognizing its strenth and efficient use of materials. Our biggest success has been the development of the first computer controlled timber cutting machine in the world! Our seamless integration of timber frame model to shop floor increases our productivity and allows our craftsmen to focus on the detailing of the timbers.
