Familiarity with the material and ease of use especially when incorporating Band labour for carpentry, which often happens on our First Nations’ projects, is a big factor.
The natural beauty of the material is also important.

Wood materials used:
- Dimensional lumber for all wall framing and some roof framing
- TJI’s for roofs
