The Power of Design
Creativity, connections, inherent individuality; our goal when working with engineers and architects is to be part of your team, creating custom wood structures. Legacy spaces that last; buildings that are used and respected for generations working in sync with our planet.
Bespoke wood structures are our passion.
The Expertise of Process
We are an integrated engineering, fabrication and installation company. Our CNC equipment can cut all sizes up to 12” x 48” x 60’+. We supply kiln dried solid and Douglas-fir glulams, with custom surface treatments, fully joined and ready for modern European fastening technology. Our bi-coastal shops, in Oregon and New York, have installed projects throughout the United
Our latest tool, an Oikos X, allows us to digitally run our timber structures, making for efficient fabrication, fewer field edits, and more accurate estimates.
“Everyone at New Energy Works is a pro; everyone is responsive. I like how early I can get New Energy Works involved in a project, in terms of their comfort making cost projections with not-a-ton of information. It’s helpful for when you’re not far into engineering but you’re trying to get a handle on feasibility. And I like that it’s all in-house install—so from a predictability standpoint, you don’t have to wonder what that number is going to be.” —

“Each team at New Energy Works, from the engineers to the crew that made and raised the frame, shares skills and knowledge that helped the project go smoothly. The timber work really ties together the structures on the estate. The high level of craftsmanship along with the custom finish—they executed the vision exactly.” —
Chris Amundson, Builder
The Science of Performance
We are engineers who understand wood: its unique and powerful structural capacity; its inherent fire resistance; its finishing requirements and options, its installation detailing. Wood structure plays a critical role in the overall building science of modern, efficient, and sustainable construction.
The Beauties of Wood
Kiln-dried solid timber, glulams, cross-laminated timber, wood fiber insulation, certified lumber; wood products bring an extra-level of sustainability as natural sequesters of carbon, and a special touch of elegance to your project. Structural wood creates and reinforces innovation & manufacturing jobs in small communities throughout the USA. We are wood people for so many reasons.
New Energy Works operates on the triple bottom line—a simple belief that people, planet, and profit work together to ensure a better future. As a 100% employee-owned company our coworkers are the owners and stewards to the work we do and the beliefs we share. We truly care about our craftspeople, and they truly care about your project.
When you work with us, you are purchasing products made in a shop that runs on solar power and is heated from our own timber scrap. Our efforts at reclaiming wood have processed over 1 million board feet a year for the past 28 years, saving this wood from landfills, incineration, and rot. Our Earth is a place we want to leave well for the next generation through buildings that are energy-efficient and enduring.
