Custom Timber Framing & Material Packages

Custom timber-frame projects and the heavy material behind them. Most people arrive with inspiration images and rough dimensions, so every project starts with a conversation and a review of what you have in mind.

What we offer

We work with homeowners and builders planning a timber structure.

Timber is cut at our Lafayette, New Jersey mill for projects around Northern New Jersey and the surrounding region. Start with photos and rough dimensions and we'll tell you what is realistic.

  • 01

    Start with a conversation

    Bring inspiration images and rough dimensions. We review what you're after before anything is quoted or ordered.

  • 02

    Examples of what people ask for

    Pergolas, pavilions, carports and similar structures. These are the kinds of projects people ask about, not a standard catalog. Each one is priced and scoped on its own.

  • 03

    Material, priced separately

    Heavy timber milled here and quoted as its own line, whether or not we're involved in the rest of the build.

  • 04

    Sketches, cut lists & fabrication

    Depending on the project, a specialist may develop sketches and cut lists and carry out fabrication and assembly.

  • 05

    Drawing support

    A qualified drawing professional may be brought in to support project drawings where a project calls for it.

  • 06

    Who does what

    Depending on the project, Ludo Lumber may coordinate with independent fabricators and qualified drawing professionals. Scope, permitting, engineering and installation responsibilities are defined project by project.

Nothing on this page describes a standard model, a fixed price or a guaranteed scope. Engineering, stamped drawings, permitting and installation are decided project by project with the appropriate licensed professionals.
