880 sq.ft TIMBER FRAME KIT #TF-82 ONE BEDROOM WOOD PREFAB DIY BUILDING HOUSE

July 21 2026

Premium quality heavy timber frame kit #TF-82 one bedroom (ENGINEERED WOOD / GLT) sold exclusively by ECOHOUSEMART and custom made to order. ECOHOUSEMART timber frame structures are very high quality and competitively priced. Engineered beams and wood joists can carry greater loads over longer spans than is possible with sawn wood of the same size. Consistency of the material quality is the key advantage of our structures. Fabricated from dry materials to very tight manufacturing standards, wood joists generally do not shrink, warp, cup, crown, or twist. GLT lumber can speed up installation time and reduce labor time. The result is typically a lower total installed cost per square foot. MODEL: #TF-82 THIS FRAME KIT IS NOT BUILT YET AND WILL BE CUSTOM ORDERED ACCORDING TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS UPON PURCHASE.
