Timber Age Builders
  • We're experimenting with new ideas and sharing our learning to make building in the Four Corners even better. With a central focus of value, sustainability and lowered cost of ownership, we are building from materials like cross-laminated timber (CLT) to improve the building experience from start to finish. 

  • Thoughtful design coupled with cutting-edge building materials and approaches.
    ​Let's try something new together.

We're helping reduce the risk of trying something new... for ourselves and everyone else.

 



Our Vision

We discover, validate and share tangible improvements in materials and methods for the built environment

Our Mission

Provide an environment of collaborative experimentation where a community is drawn together to experience better ways to build
