Hello –
I need this frame – but with a design to use SIP’s on the roof. Seems a good bit of the additional roofing could be eliminated. Ideally it would be similar to the heavy timber 24×24 you have – but 18-19’wide. Can you do something like that?
We can add the roof system to the plan. It is not a problem to make those changes and it can be completed through our custom design service. You can learn more at https://timberframehq.com/custom-design/.
