ThirdGen Timber Group Buys Four Brands, Hits 100,000 Square Feet

ThirdGen Timber Group has bought four brands — PrecisionCraft Log & Timber Homes, Riverbend Timber Framing, M.T.N Design and TimberScape — from PFB Custom Homes Group, a portfolio company of The Riverside Company.

The deal makes the family-owned company a seven-brand platform. It now operates across Ontario, British Columbia, Idaho and Michigan, with a combined manufacturing footprint of roughly 100,000 square feet at four locations.

ThirdGen's existing portfolio already included Canadian Timberframes, True North Log & Timber Homes and Legacy North Construction Management. The group acquired Canadian Timberframes in 2025.

What does the acquisition add?

The expanded platform's product range now spans nearly every major heavy-timber building system. Clients can order:

• Milled and hand-hewn log systems
• Traditional timber framing
• Glued-laminated timber, dowel-laminated timber and cross-laminated timber
• Structural steel
• Structural insulated panels and prefabricated wall panels

The group keeps architectural design, engineering coordination, manufacturing and construction management in-house. That lets clients select or combine multiple building systems for residential and commercial projects, according to the company.

Who are the acquired businesses?

Riverbend has produced timber structures since 1979, making it the oldest name in the combined group. PrecisionCraft has designed and delivered mountain-style homes since 1991. M.T.N Design supports the brands with architectural services, and TimberScape manufactures premium outdoor structures.

The acquired businesses will keep their existing names, teams and active client projects. Canadian Timberframes will remain the group's dedicated business-to-business brand serving architects, builders and designers.

How big is the combined platform?

ThirdGen's seven brands carry a combined 195 years of experience and have shipped more than 9,000 projects across the United States, Canada and international markets.

Co-Owner Mark Wrightman framed the cross-border reach as the deal's core logic. "With expanded capabilities, expertise and a presence on both sides of the border, we're bringing together the best of what our industry has to offer," Wrightman said.

Why does it matter?

The purchase consolidates a fragmented niche — custom log and timber construction — under one owner with manufacturing on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. For The Riverside Company, the sale marks an exit from four of its PFB Custom Homes Group assets.

The integration playbook is brand preservation: no renames, no team cuts announced, and current client projects continue unchanged. That approach signals ThirdGen is buying capacity and reputation, not consolidation savings — and positions the group to bid on larger residential and commercial packages that demand multiple structural systems from a single source.
