Built and proven before it ever ships
Every structure we deliver is fully assembled and load-tested in our climate-controlled facilities, in the USA and Canada, before treatment or shipping, so it reaches your site standing, proven, and ready to install.
We don't find the problems on your site. We find them in ours
Most timber structures are assembled for the first time on site, where weather, fit-up surprises, and sequencing errors turn into delays and change orders. We do it differently. Every structure is built whole in our shop first, every connection made and checked, every member load-tested to the engineered standard.
Only after it’s proven do we apply treatment and ship it. When the structure arrives, erection is fast and predictable, because it has already stood once, under our roof, to ISO 9001-documented standards.
And when it ships, our own crews erect it, we self-perform installation rather than sending a kit for someone else to assemble. Inspection, engineering, fabrication, and install under one accountable roof.
We manufacture at our own ISO 9001-certified facilities in Jefferson, Oregon (USA) and Cranbrook, British Columbia and Hillsborough, New Brunswick (Canada), operating since 2015, producing advanced fibre-reinforced engineered wood products and pre-machined, pre-assembled bridges and buildings. Canadian projects are manufactured in Canada.
Of every structure assembled and load-tested before it ships.
Controlled environments in the USA and Canada, not an exposed job site.
Fabricate. Assemble. Load-test. Treat & ship
Fabricate
Every member is cut, shaped, and machined to engineered tolerances in the climate-controlled shop.
Assemble
The whole structure is erected in the shop, every connection made and verified before it comes apart for transport. Because we treat the structure while it’s assembled, we double-galvanize every metal fastener against corrosion.
Load-test
The assembled structure is tested to its engineered capacity and documented to ISO 9001 standards.
Treat & ship
Only once proven is the structure treated for its environment and shipped, ready for fast, predictable install.
What shop assembly removes from your project
Risk
Fit-up surprises and connection problems are found and solved in the shop, not discovered mid-erection over a creek or a road.
Schedule
On-site time shrinks to assembly of pre-proven components, weather windows and site access stop dictating your timeline.
Cost
Fewer change orders, less field rework, and a shorter site mobilisation keep the budget where it was quoted.
The know-how travels
Everything we build is assembled and load-tested in our own facilities before it leaves, then shipped to projects wherever they stand, with reach across 55 countries and six continents.
Shop assembly is what makes distance manageable: the structure is proven standing before it travels, so what arrives on your site fits and installs.
About shop assembly
Why assemble the whole structure before shipping it?
Because the cheapest place to find a problem is in our shop, not on your site. Assembling the whole structure first means every connection is made and verified once, under controlled conditions, so on-site erection is fast, predictable, and free of fit-up surprises.
How does shop assembly lower cost and risk?
It removes the variables that blow up site budgets and schedules, weather, sequencing errors, and connection problems discovered mid-erection. Fewer change orders, less field rework, and a shorter on-site mobilisation keep the project on the number we quoted.
Where does assembly happen?
In our own climate-controlled, ISO 9001-certified facilities, Jefferson, Oregon in the USA, and Cranbrook, British Columbia and Hillsborough, New Brunswick in Canada. A controlled environment means consistent quality and accurate load testing, conditions you simply can’t guarantee on an exposed job site.
Is the structure load-tested before it ships?
Yes. The assembled structure is load-tested to its engineered capacity and documented through our ISO 9001 process before treatment and shipping, so what arrives has already been proven sound.
Can you ship a shop-assembled structure anywhere?
We do. Structures are built and proven in Jefferson, then shipped to project sites worldwide, the Roger Bacon Bridge, for example, travelled from our Oregon shop to Nova Scotia in 25 loads. We’ve delivered structures to 55 countries across 6 continents.
