A Reliable Timber Framing Partner for Builders
For builders and developers, choosing a timber framing contractor comes down to reliability as much as structural capability. Northmark works to fit into construction schedules, communicate clearly about progress and any site issues, and deliver framing work that the next trade can build on without delay.
Our approach is to turn up when scheduled, work from documented plans, follow Australian Standard requirements for timber framing, flag any issues early, and keep builders and developers informed as the work progresses. This applies across residential, commercial and renovation projects, from single-dwelling builds to larger developments with multiple stages. See examples of our completed work.
