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.
