of a single point of contact throughout the project, reducing complexity and ensuring quality at every stage. “By doing the whole design, engineering, supply, and install, you have a very streamlined process where you can really ensure top quality on your projects,” Nico says. Timber frame expertise is rare in structural engineering, and that specialization is a central reason clients seek out Bridgewood. “There few engineers with true expertise in timber frame structures,” Nico notes. That depth of knowledge allows the team to tackle ambitious designs with long spans, overhangs, and dramatic architectural features, while still meeting structural requirements and constructability standards. At the same time, the firm emphasizes rigorous quality control. Calculations are triple-checked, and components are double-checked in the factory. More than a process, it is a philosophy: if a project demands extra effort, Bridgewood commits the time and attention necessary to deliver the right solution. “We really go above and beyond for our customers,” Nico says. Communication is another cornerstone of Bridgewood’s approach. Nico highlights responsiveness as a differentiator in an industry where delayed or inconsistent communication is all too common. Emails are returned within a day, phone calls are answered promptly, and clients are kept informed, even when answers are still in development. “If we don’t have an answer right away, we like to get back to the customer and let them know that we’re working on it and give them a timeline of when we’ll get back to JANUARY 2026
