Carrie joined our team after 15 years of experience as a lead drafter for an architectural restoration manufacturer. She has degrees in Architectural Engineering Technology and Horticulture/Landscape Development.

Carrie acts as a quality-control gatekeeper of sorts, bridging the waters between the creatives inside our architectural design team and the structural realities that each project requires. She shares office space with Andy and Mike but she’s equally suited for a spot in the west wing with our operations manager, Adam.

It’s hard to remember a pre-Tyler Timberbuilt.

Tyler joined our team with a background in CADD technologies and multitasked in our design department for years, assisting with architectural drawings, constructions documents, and injecting manpower (and brainpower) wherever and whenever it was needed.

Mike graduated from the University of Buffalo with a major in Architecture, a minor in environmental design, and some practical, boots-on-the-ground, construction experience. Architecture grads who have personally framed houses are right in our strike zone so offering Mike a spot on our team was an easy no-brainer.

We’re glad we did because Mike’s got all the intangibles too, the stuff you can’t learn: good taste, an eye for what works and what doesn’t, and the kind of obsessive work-smarter, not harder, mentality that efficiency auditors drool over.

It also signifies an exciting step forward for Timberbuilt — Andy is our first full fledged, registered architect (RA), our first accredited expert on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Ratings (LEED AP), and part of an elite group of industry pros with top flight skills in writing and managing construction documents, awarded the title, Construction Document Technologist, and branded CDT.

“At the end of the day, when you build houses wisely — with more energy efficiency — you give future generations a chance to experience things in nature that have been significant throughout time.”

George’s passion for home building and the natural world first cross sectioned through his work as a builder and hunting guide in the wide open spaces of Montana and Alaska. Upon returning to his home state of New York, he began experimenting with his “green” timber home ideal. Continue reading “Timberbuilt Team | George Klemens | Founder”

Kathryn organizes the mounds of bills and checks we receive. She does all of our bookkeeping and manages the phone system. Her most popular task around the office is payroll.
