How Long Does It Take To Build a Prefab Home?

One of our most asked questions has many answers.

Build time depends on the experience and size of the crew you have putting it up. Generally it goes up much quicker than a standard stick framed home. To see a prefabricated home and an identical stick framed home built side by side click HERE .

New Building in Terrace BC

Wintons Engineered Wood Product (EWP) division is quoting a job for our friends at First Choice Builders on a site in sunny Terrace BC. Located on the Terrace Mountain, you can't beat the view from the Sun Ridge Development. Our EWP division supplies structural building components all over the north.

In the photos you will see is the foundation of the new project with beautiful snowpeaked mountains in the background and the other photo is the roof line of a project from previous years.

Thinking of adding Timber Accents?

Whether you are looking to enhance the curb appeal or enrich the interior of your home, timber accents may be just what you are looking for.

You can use timber to make bold statements across a room or entry way. Or you can use timber to add a natural decoration to complement a structural truss. Timber accents bring a warmth to a home that is hard to ignore.

Give us a call and discuss how we can use beautiful timber accents to fulfill your personal design goals.

With you every step of the way

One of our most popular cottages, the Hudson, became a lovely lake house in Pigeon Lake AB. With each package we sell, we strive to accommodate our customer’s needs. Winton has dedicated project managers that are there to assist in any way and has an answer for any question.

With this project, we were able to deliver parts that were delayed by our supplier on time with a special weekend delivery. We were with this customer when dealing with the local building authority. Winton project coordinators are always just a phone call away.

Design Working on New Pinnacle in Revit

Our design team is hard at work on the new Pinnacle that will be going up on Mayne Island, BC.
