The image shows large wooden panels with smooth surfaces, neatly stacked on the floor of an industrial space. The wood grain is clearly visible, showcasing the natural texture and patterns of the timber.

    The TimberBLDR team partnered with Moontower Design & Build on a unique CLT install for a residential Cross Cabin prototype.

    The 38th Street project in Austin, Texas was installed in the backyard of a residential home and wouldn’t have been possible without the seamless collaboration of the entire project team. The CLT panels were prefabricated and delivered to the site install-ready. Once on site and properly staged, some flawless crane operation lifted each panel—over the home and a massive 60-foot tree—into the backyard for installation.

    There were several industry experts that collaborated to make this homeowners dream a reality, everything from the incredible design by Cross Cabin Build & Supply, VarpoShield applications, Sterling Structural CLT panels, to the Crocker Crane Rental expert operation. So, as the saying goes, teamwork makes the (homeowner’s) dream work.
