Spring Clear-Out! We're moving our stock of Pavatex T&G 60mm wood fibre insulation boards from our Donald, BC location.

At $4.50/ft² with volume discounts on orders over 5,000 ft², it's a great time to stock up for your next build.

Excited to see the AU Ranches Employee Housing project in Buena Vista, Colorado come to life.

Designed by , these two buildings showcase the beauty and practicality of mass timber construction. DLT was chosen for its natural warmth, efficient prefabrication, and fast assembly on site — creating spaces that are both functional and welcoming.

We’re proud to be part of this project and can’t wait to see it completed.

The cathedral ceiling, the exposed timber trusses, the stone fireplace, the lake filling the windows at the far end — this is what a timber frame home does that's hard to replicate.

At International Timberframes, every timber frame we craft is designed and cut to the specific vision of the home and the people who will live in it. No two are the same. The joinery, the spans, the profiles — all deliberate, all considered, all built to last for generations.

Timberframing for residential homes is where the craft gets deeply personal.

If a space like this is on your mind, we'd love to talk.

What if your office made you healthier?

That's not a marketing claim — it's what employees actually reported after moving into a mass timber office at The Exchange in Kelowna, B.C., as part of a post-occupancy study by .cities and Forestry Innovation Investment.

The numbers speak for themselves:
87% report higher mental wellbeing
84% feel more energetic at work

Exposed wood surfaces weren't just the most appreciated design features — they were directly linked to how good people felt at work. That connection between wood and human wellbeing is exactly what biophilic design is built on. And it's exactly why mass timber DLT, with its natural, chemical-free construction, belongs in more buildings.

When most people hear "prefabricated," they think cookie-cutter, flat-pack, temporary. That reputation exists for a reason. Traditional prefab often meant trading quality for speed and cheap materials — and it showed.

DLT is different.
We manufacture our Dowel Laminated Timber panels in a controlled shop environment, precision-cut, with every pe*******on for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing mapped out before a single panel leaves the floor — not because it's the easy way, but because it's the right way.

The result is a building that goes up faster, yes — but is also more precise, healthier, more sustainable, less wasteful, and made to last for generations.
The prefabrication is just the method. The quality speaks for itself.

Curious what DLT could do for your next project? Let's talk.

We talk a lot about what mass timber does structurally. But what does it do to the people inside?

Biophilic design — the idea that humans are innately drawn to nature — is one of the most compelling arguments for building with wood. And now there's real research done in BC to back it up.

Biophilic Design in Mass Timber Buildings, a post-occupancy study by .cities and Forestry Innovation Investment, evaluated two mass timber office buildings at The Exchange in Kelowna, B.C. — using surveys, site visits, and interviews to measure the actual impact on occupants.

The findings? Employees in mass timber offices report higher wellbeing, better focus, stronger collaboration, and a deeper connection to their workplace. Exposed wood surfaces and natural daylight were the standout features — not just aesthetically, but measurably.

This is what we think about when we supply mass timber DLT (dowel laminated timber). The structure matters. But so does what it feels like to be inside it.

Before a single product leaves our facility, the real work happens here.

Every component we produce starts with a conversation — over drawings, over details, over the questions that matter before the cutting begins. The precision you see in a finished DLT panel or a timber frame is only possible because of the thinking that happens long before the machines run.

This is where problems get solved on paper, not on site. And that makes all the difference.

Some buildings are meant to be more than four walls and a roof.

The day use building at is one of those. Nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, it's a place where people will come to connect — with nature, with these magnificent animals, and with something a little wilder than everyday life.

We supplied the timber components and mass timber DLT panels for this build, and from the moment we saw the vision, we knew this one was special. Dowel laminated timber — wood holding wood, no glue, no nails — felt like the only honest choice for a place like this.

Proud to have played a part in bringing this sanctuary to life. Doors open to the public this May.

Yesterday this mass timber DLT load left our facility. Soon it'll be standing walls on a Colorado jobsite.

That's the beauty of prefabrication — every panel cut, checked, and ready to go before it ever hits the site. Less waste, faster installs, better outcomes.

Shoutout to 520 Transport Ltd for safely moving a tall one — always a pleasure working with a crew you can count on.

40 years in mass timber — today.

On April 1st (not a joke), Sigi, founder of International Timberframes, celebrates 40 years since starting his journey in mass timber. What began decades ago has grown into a lifelong passion for craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainable building.

And what better way to mark the occasion than at the ? If you’re there, come say hi and celebrate with us at Booth 120.

Mass timber isn't a material choice — it's a statement about what we believe buildings should be.

Dowel laminated timber (DLT) is one of the most sustainable and healthy expressions of that belief — no glue, no metal fasteners, just wood holding wood together. We've been bringing DLT to life for years, and every project reminds us why this material has a future worth fighting for.

That's why we're heading to Portland for the for the 4th year as exhibitors — March 31–April 2. Ten years of the world's largest mass timber gathering, and this year's lineup — from Kengo Kuma to Amazon and Meta — makes it one not to miss.

If you're building the future with wood, we'll see you there (booth #120). 👉 Register at masstimberconference.com
