Builder of the Year: Bensonwood
Tedd Benson is a rare combination of passion and precision, fueled by incredible energy, and tempered with a fine sense of humor. He literally wrote the book on timberframing, while reviving the craft and starting the business in the early 1970s. Tedd remains the core of the group, involved in every aspect of the operation. As Bensonwood has grown, the relentless drive toward better building has continued. Today, while Bensonwood is still known for building exceedingly artful timberframes with the highest level of craftsmanship and quality, it is arguably the most innovative home builder in America.
