2
Granby Post and Beam Homes is a custom timber
home package manufacturer located in Grand Forks
BC, Canada. Grand Forks is on the Canada/USA
border near Christina Lake BC. About 3 hours
North of Spokane Washington.
Customer service is our Primary company policy.
You will always receive prompt courteous service
from Granby whether you are making a purchase,
dealing with your concerns or simply seeking
information.
3
The entire Post and Beam Timber Frame is supplied
including all Posts, Plates, Pillars, dowels and
knee bracing made up of selected 4x6 6x8 and 8x8
Douglas Fir timbers (larger as required). The
Ridge and Purlin Beams included are built in
place using multiple ply's of 2x12 Douglas Fir.
Five ply for a typical Ridge Beam and 4 ply on
the Purlin or side Beams.
Wall framing materials interior and exterior
consist of 2x6 and 2x4 framing lumber. Exterior
wall and roof sheathing is 1/2" quality grade
plywood. Roof Rafters are 11 7/8" Manufactured
Truss joists or manufactured trusses depending on
the application.
4
The basic Granby package includes all of the
structural materials required to build, frame in
and sheath the home package. This excludes the
main floor structure and any basement or crawl
space structure required as these are to be in
place sheathed and ready to build on when your
Granby package arrives.
The Granby package does not include any finishing
materials whatsoever unless you specifically
requested them to be added as an option. Optional
materials available include windows, doors,
siding, wood flooring, custom staircases and
railings
The material package includes all conventional
lumber framing materials to build exterior and
interior wall systems. All wall and roof
sheathing as well as rafters trusses etc. as
required.
5
We do not supply finishing materials in the basic
package because it has become apparent over the
course of time that most customers choose to
purchase these finishing items where they can
see, touch and feel them. We have therefore taken
all finishing items out of our regular package
offering. Granby Home packages are pre-built in
our manufacturing facility in a controlled
environment. This creates a very user friendly
house package.
6
Granby offers quick delivery - Because Granby
makes custom home packages out of a series of
components which can be pre-built in the form of
knee bracing wall posts corner posts etc. Granby
can supply home packages very quickly if required.
The Post and Beam building system allows maximum
design flexibility, unlike traditional timber
frame or Log building you can design and build
almost any layout in Post and Beam building.
7
Post Beam verses Log construction
Log Homes are prone to many problems related to
the shrinking of logs, such as windows and doors
binding, framed walls cracking etc. The post and
beam building system avoids these problems as
wood only shrinks in diameter not in length. Log
homes are exposed on the exterior side 365 days a
year to the elements and never stop expanding
and/or shrinking as humidity changes outside.
Post and Beam Homes have a weatherproof exterior
finish between the wall timber and the outside
weather conditions. This means that the timber is
not constantly re-adjusting its moisture content.
8
Traditional Timber Frame homes are not truly post
and beam building even though they rely on
similar basic principles for structure. The
Timber Frame homes are a series of house shaped
trusses or bents which are built on the deck and
stood up to be interlocked with other bents by
timbers then covered by foam filled panels which
are held in place by a handful of screw
fasteners. The biggest problem with Timber Frame
homes comes when you try to build a custom home.
Any time you deviate from a basic rectangle in
timber frame the cost goes up very dramatically,
due to the fact that the corner where the home
turns must be framed entirely in place without
the benefit of the Bents or Timber Trusses.
9
Granby's authentic Post and Beam Timber Homes on
the other hand adapt without a problem to any
floor layout because like conventional framing
they are built using the platform framing method,
which means the perimeter wall is built around
the floor system in a continuous fashion and the
roof system is then built to accommodate the wall
layout. There are no layouts which create
problems any more serious than conventional
builders face daily. But at the same time
Granby's homes are set aside from conventional
building by their structural integrity and
aesthetic beauty. Post and Beam Homes are the
most easily renovated or added on to homes in
existence. This is due to the fact that any given
wall panel can be removed at any time without any
compromise to the structure in general as it is
supported by the post and beam frame.
Post and Beam Building is the wood building
system with the longest track record, there are
Post and Beam buildings still standing which are
in excess of 1800 years old, this cannot be said
of any other wood building style.
10
Now, having compared the styles it is evident
that the Post and Beam system is superior to
conventionally built homes, Log Homes or
Traditional Timber Frames. Cost to the consumer
is lower to build an authentic Post and Beam
Timber home than to build a Log Home or a
traditional Timber Frame. Granby's home packages
work out typically 10-15 higher in cost than a
equally finished stick framed custom home but
much lower in cost than a timberframe or log
home.
11
The first step to proceed is to choose a Granby
model or provide Granby with a detailed sketch
of the home you intend to build. We can then
provide you with a cost estimate based on your
own design. If this estimate fits within your
building budget you then place your plan deposit,
which will develop the completed plans. At that
point we will provide you with a purchase
agreement guaranteeing your purchase cost and
delivery date. You can now proceed with the
purchase by signing the purchase agreement and
placing your deposit as outlined in your
particular purchase agreement.
