Timber Framers Guild Forums General General Forum Questions keeping costs in line

Hi Everyone!

Been busy awhile! I've discovered that in an old architectural glossary that the "lodging" was referred to as "galloping" as in galloping joists.

As far as costs, is it not always material choice and the methods chosen to work that material?

I assume that when you bring up costs, you are talking about your expenses that have to be passed on to the client... Perhaps if "cost" was looked at with eyes on value through longevity and beauty then it would not appear any more expensive than other forms of framing, in actuality it should be an even better VALUE.

My two cents. Off to raise next week, wish us luck.

Cheers,

Mo
