Precise Projects targets three to five home builds or high-end renovations every year, says Braden. One of their most recent builds was secured from another homeowner seeing the execution quality of the Copetown Ranch project. The company’s latest build was another timber frame build titled the “The Timber Farmhouse” which utilized “a lot of timber and reclaimed material,” says Braden. “We incorporated multiple barn beams from the homeowners’ family barn, as well as reclaimed hemlock wood floors that came from a 150-year-old barn in Ontario.” According to Braden, Precise Projects has developed a unique skillset on how to bring rustic and timber elements into new homes. He feels those elements are less common in modern builds and his team’s ability to incorporate them sets them apart: “Timber builds are more complicated. There’s a lot to think about in the planning stages that are not as clear cut as a typical all-lumber framed build,” he explains. “These are the things that set us apart. We see this as a neat challenge. We’ve been able to set ourselves apart on the execution of these types of complex projects.” That particular project home had “a balanced country and rustic feel that met in the right way” Braden says. It was full of unique details, including “the little dream pieces the client wanted, like two fireplaces built out of their original barn foundation stone.” To bring projects like this to life, Precise Projects embraces modern building tools such as project management software like Buildtrend that manage both site and office activities. As far as their use of technology in their project homes, Braden says that depends entirely on the “homeowners’ appetite.” He believes that while they can do anything the homeowners dream of, “there are cost-effective ways to improve any home beyond the latest trends in the market.” He believes in sharing practical building knowledge and best practices, so homeowners are making informed decisions that are meaningful to their builds.
