Looking forward, Bridgewood plans to maintain their stronghold in custom residential timber frame construction while exploring commercial timber frame and mass timber projects. Nico sees this as a natural progression for the firm’s expertise and a way to tackle larger-scale projects while still emphasizing the material they know best. Expansion will be measured, with the company intending to grow their in-house team to around 10 engineers and designers over the next few years. This approach aims to balance capacity for larger or more complex projects with the personalized, hands-on service that defines Bridgewood today. Professional development is central to the firm’s growth strategy. Nico emphasizes continuous learning, noting that team members participate in industry training, conferences, and organizations such as the Timber Framers Guild and the Canadian Wood Council. “Every day we try to learn something new,” he says. This commitment ensures that Bridgewood remains at the forefront of timber engineering techniques and technologies, providing clients with the most current solutions available. Bridgewood’s story is also one of integration – melding specialized engineering knowledge, strong client relationships, and extensive supplier networks to deliver a cohesive, end-to-end service. Being part of the Dream Home Group allows the firm to access a wide range of design and production expertise, yet they operate independently, providing engineering and design services to external clients across North America.
