Post&Beam houses
Post&Beam houses are built according to North American technology. The main point is to use perfectly matched solid wood for beams and uprights. The natural texture of the tree trunks is saved, only the bark should be removed. Therefore, all the nuances and natural tree outlines are preserved. Using this technique, Post&Beam houses look fabulous, resembling magic castles.
Post&Beam houses are frame houses, where the solid is used only in the frame construction, and the filling is done with another material, e.g. natural stone or clinker bricks. It is also common to cover a significant area of the walls with glass, which looks especially impressive.
In addition to the unusual appearance, Post&Beam houses are distinguished by a short construction time; after the walls are built, interior finishing can be immediately started.
Advantages of Post&Beam frame houses:
- Short construction terms
- Reduced log costs. Less expensive materials can be used to fill the frame.
- The frame is much lighter than a log house and therefore a foundation requires fewer costs. It is possible to build both columnar and strip foundations.
- There is no shrinkage, which is inevitable when building a log house. The point is that vertical logs practically do not have such a disadvantage. In places, where the frame elements are beams, their shrinkage is minimal due to the fact that their number is minimal as well. Therefore, when building frame structures, it is not necessary to wait for the logs shrinkage, but immediately install window openings.
- Beautiful and unusual appearance, especially if butt sanded logs of large diameter are used for vertical uprights.
Material for the construction
of Post&Beam frame houses
We use large-sized Siberian cedar, felled in dry, not marshy areas. The base is a frame assembled from uprights and beams processed by hand. The log diameter is from 300 to 1000 mm. A noble natural stone is used to fill the frame.

What People Say About Us
We really wanted a wooden house made of glued laminated timber. The Siberian Forest company offered a very interesting price. The timber quality impressed us. We chose a pine log with a 200mm cross-section. In a short time, the project was approved and construction began. After 1.5 months, the assembly of the house began.

We were very pleased with the Siberian Forest company’s performance. Each working stage was performed at a professional level, they paid attention to every single detail both to construction and our wishes. I consider it an important aspect that the initial estimate did not increase during the construction process.

I've been acquainted with these guys and the head of the company for a really long time. They are really professionals in their field. This is not the first time we've been working together. At first, I ordered a house for my parents in the Moscow region, now my family decided to move out of town to a large house made of Siberian cedar. In a word, it is a responsible and experienced team. Highly recommend!
