POST & BEAM CONSTRUCTION
Post and beam construction is a building method that relies on heavy timbers rather than dimensional lumber. With roots in early Asian architecture, the use of post and beam construction methods have long since spread across the globe. Several post and beam structures constructed during medieval times are still standing—a testament to their well crafted durability. In the aftermath of natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes, post and beam buildings are often the only structures that remain erect.
