The proposed Welcome Center and Millhouse are the two main structures that Hearthstone quickly helped to provide timber for. Often, Hearthstone Inc. will get asked to meet unusual deadlines to accommodate the customer’s needs. Recently, Tryon Equestrian Center called us to complete a Timber Frame entryway into a new arena they were constructing. They had a tight time frame for completion. Ultimately, Tryon needed a miracle. Their new arena was set to open within a week, and they needed the timber on the job site and erected before the arena opened. Never one to back down from a challenge, Hearthstone rolled up their sleeves, and we got to work.
When talking about the urgency and process for this massive project, Steve Hall, Vice President of Design and Marketing explains: “First, we sent a team to collect field measurements the day after we got the call, and then they called in and where given measurements over the phone to our Project Design Manager, David Smith. David modeled the timbers and had the preliminary plans ready to go back to Tryon before the team got back from the job site. The following day we adjusted the plans and sent those back for final approval.” Once approval was in hand, we spent the third-day manufacturing, packing and preparing the timber to ship. We loaded and sent the material to the job site the next day. A marathon day of hard work the following day, and we were able to make the deadline and finish the job the day before the arena was set to be opened.
