You built the farm, the business, the career. This is the place it was all for: a pre-engineered mass timber building, precision-fabricated, raised in weeks, and looked after by people who answer the phone.
Precision-fabricated by our mass timber manufacturing partner in Manitoba, CanadaGlulam frame packages start at $40+ per square foot — frame only, unfinished, FOB the factory yard in Kleefeld, Manitoba. Where it goes from there — cladding, glass, finish, turn-key — is entirely up to you.
Not because this is a cheap building — it isn't — but because you should not have to chase a number to plan the most important build of your life. Configure your building below and the price is yours, before anyone asks for your phone number.
A direct line to someone who knows your build by name and answers the phone.
From first sketch to raised frame, the same person carries your project — no handoffs, no phone tree, no re-explaining yourself. It is the way the best customers we have ever served told us it should be.

See your numberEach line is a family of pre-engineered base models, configurable in width, length and height to 40-foot eaves, fabricated on CNC equipment and delivered as a precision kit.
The showpiece shop, the arena worth photographing, tall clear-span storage. For owners who could buy steel but want something better standing on their land.
Churches, daycares, clubhouses, offices, municipal and public buildings. Warm, healthy spaces people gather in, increasingly specified in wood by governments across Canada.

The steel-building world is full of high-pressure phone rooms and prices that change once they have your number. We built Summit to be the opposite.
The price on this page is the frame package, FOB Kleefeld.

The timber frame package starts at $40+ per square foot, right beside a steel frame. The difference is where it goes from there: steel stays a steel box, while timber gives you a space people actually want to be in. You control the finish level, and therefore the price, at every step.

Every package is engineered for your specific site, snow, wind and soil conditions, and sealed for your province or state before fabrication begins. Governments across Canada are increasingly specifying wood for public buildings precisely because it meets code with room to spare.
Get an engineered estimate
Plan on a minimum of 16 weeks from signed contract to delivery — engineering, sealed drawings and CNC fabrication each take their share. Once the kit arrives, members are precut and numbered, so frames go up in weeks, not months. The only variable we do not control is your local permit office.

No. The headline number is the frame package, FOB Kleefeld. Cladding, envelope, shipping and installation are shown as clearly labelled estimates you can turn on and off, and foundation, site work and permits are always yours to arrange. We would rather lose the shine than surprise you later.
Build a transparent estimate
Yes. Supply-only is a real option: bolted connections, numbered members, full drawings and phone support from our team. Or our experienced erection crews do it for you. Either way you see the install estimate before you decide.
