Canadian-Owned ThirdGen Timber Group Acquires PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, Riverbend Timber Framing, M.T.N Design and TimberScape, Uniting Seven Premium Log and Timber Brands Across North America

Family-owned ThirdGen Timber Group brings together complementary brands, design expertise and manufacturing capabilities across North America.

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 12, 2026 /CNW/ -- ThirdGen Timber Group, the Canadian-owned and headquartered parent of Canadian Timberframes, True North Log & Timber Homes and Legacy North Construction Management, today announced it has acquired PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, Riverbend Timber Framing, M.T.N Design and TimberScape under the PFB Custom Homes Group banner from The Riverside Company. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The acquisition gives the third-generation family business seven brands, North America-wide, with operations in Ontario, British Columbia, Idaho and Michigan, and makes it one of North America's fastest-growing and largest premium log and timber groups. It follows ThirdGen's acquisition of Canadian Timberframes in 2025. Across its four manufacturing locations, the combined platform brings approximately 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space spanning direct-to-consumer brands and a dedicated professional-partner channel.

The group now brings together a breadth of building systems and materials rarely available through a single family of companies: milled square and round logs; hand-hewn square and round logs; traditional timber framing; glued-laminated timber (GLT); dowel-laminated timber (DLT); cross-laminated timber (CLT); structural steel; structural insulated panels (SIPs); and prefabricated wall panels. Supported by in-house architectural design, engineering coordination, manufacturing and construction management expertise, this integrated platform offers homeowners, builders, architects and commercial clients more flexibility to select the right system, or combine multiple systems, for each project. The breadth of choice and coordinated expertise across the group creates an offering that would be difficult for any one independent company to deliver on its own.

The acquired brands bring decades of experience. Riverbend Timber Framing has produced timber frame homes and structures since 1979. PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, founded in 1991, has designed and built thousands of mountain-style log and timber homes across North America and around the world. M.T.N Design is the award-winning in-house design studio serving both brands, and TimberScape produces high-end outdoor living structures. PFB Custom Homes Group has sales, design, manufacturing and construction services in Meridian, Idaho, and Blissfield, Michigan. In 2021, PFB Custom Homes Group was named Manufacturer of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders' Building Systems Councils.

"We have long admired PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, Riverbend Timber Framing, TimberScape and M.T.N Design. These companies have built some of the most respected names in our industry, with exceptional people, craftsmanship and a reputation for delivering extraordinary projects. Bringing these brands together with True North Log & Timber Homes and Legacy North Construction Management creates an unprecedented offering for clients looking to design and build exceptional homes and commercial spaces. With expanded capabilities, expertise and a presence on both sides of the border, we're bringing together the best of what our industry has to offer.

"Equally important is our commitment to the architects, designers, builders and industry professionals who have helped shape our success. Canadian Timberframes will remain our dedicated, exclusive B2B brand, delivering the premium design coordination, craftsmanship and trusted partnerships our clients have come to expect. This acquisition strengthens that commitment, giving our partners access to greater resources, expanded manufacturing capabilities and deeper expertise while preserving the relationships and personalized service that make Canadian Timberframes unique," said Mark Wrightman, co-owner of ThirdGen Timber Group.

"To our employees, partners and suppliers, thank you. Your trust, dedication and collaboration have brought us to this moment. While our capabilities and reach continue to grow, our commitment remains unchanged: to be the most trusted partner in our industry, to honour our word and to build relationships and structures that last for generations. We're excited about what lies ahead and the opportunity to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible with wood, together," said Kyle Wrightman, co-owner of ThirdGen Timber Group.

"We wanted a partner who would honor what Riverbend and PrecisionCraft have created over more than four decades, and ThirdGen was the clear choice. They're a family company with three generations in log and timber, and they have the vision and the resources to lead this industry into its next chapter. Our people and our clients couldn't be in better hands," said James Banner, president of PFB Custom Homes Group.

The four brands will continue to operate under their existing names, with their teams and client projects continuing without interruption. As a family business, ThirdGen Timber Group works as a local partner in each market it serves.
