Cost and Value

The cost of the timber in most timber frame structures usually represents a relatively small percentage of the total project costs . But the framing material is the most visible , dramatic , and important element to the success and value of the project.

Foremost, the timbers form the structure . Also, they are the essence of the most prominent architectural elements , which express the artistry of true craftsmen. A fine furniture or cabinet maker wouldn't think of using anything other than the best kiln-dried material available. Why would a bone fide craftsman use anything less as the most critical element of a timber frame?

RFV Kiln Dried materials are more costly than green timbers, but the overall cost increase to the entire project can be relatively insignificant, especially when all the benefits are taken into consideration. Peace of mind alone justifies the additional 3% to 4% increase of the total project costs that using RFV Kiln Dried material typically represents. An investment in RFV Kiln Dried timber ensures that the impeccable joinery will remain decidedly stable and tight ; the frame will always “look like new” to the original occupant as well as prospective future owners. The beauty and stability of RFV Kiln Dried material also ensures a positive impact on the appraised value of the structure.
