TIM-BR-FAB Industries

What TIM-BR-FAB Industries does

TIM-BR-FAB Industries is a 100% Canadian-owned manufacturer of pre-engineered wood products, operating as a division of McMunn & Yates Building Supplies Ltd. since its founding in 1980. The company designs and fabricates roof trusses, engineered floor systems (I-joists, open web floor trusses, LVL and LSL beams, rim board), pre-manufactured wall panels, and finished sheds from two manufacturing facilities in Oak Bluff and Dauphin, Manitoba, totaling over 54,000 square feet of production space. TIM-BR-FAB serves residential builders, commercial contractors, and agricultural/farm builders across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northwestern Ontario with custom-engineered products designed to exact project specifications.

The company's core technology centers on conventional engineered wood manufacturing using a minimum 2x4 lumber specification for roof trusses, complemented by engineered components such as I-joists that eliminate bowing, crowning, twisting, and splitting issues associated with solid lumber. Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) and Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) beams extend span and load capacity, while open web floor trusses allow mechanical ductwork passage to reduce on-site construction costs. Pre-manufactured wall panels reportedly increase framing productivity by 40-50% compared to traditional stick framing. Materials are sourced from major suppliers including Weyerhaeuser and Boise Cascade, and the company maintains memberships in the Canadian Wood Truss Association, Manitoba Home Builders Association, and Construction Association of Rural Manitoba.

TIM-BR-FAB generates revenue through one-time project sales on a custom quote basis, with no subscription, licensing, or recurring revenue components. Pricing is determined per project based on application type (commercial, farm, residential), gable end specifications, ladder requirements, fascia dimensions, and uploaded plans. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying primarily on the company website's quote-request form, direct relationships with builders and contractors, and distribution through the affiliated McMunn & Yates Building Supplies retail network. The company employs over 70 dedicated personnel with more than 200 years of collective experience in roof and truss design, led by General Manager Greg Christodoulides.

Products and services

• Roof Trusses Pre-engineered custom-designed roof trusses for commercial, agricultural, and residential applications, built with minimum 2x4 lumber for strength and durability in Canadian conditions. For builders, contractors, architects, and homeowners.
• I-Joists Engineered I-joists designed to eliminate bowing, crowning, twisting, or splitting issues common with solid lumber, offering better consistency and less shrinkage, warping, and twisting than standard dimensional lumber. For builders and contractors in residential and commercial construction.
• Rim Board Environmentally friendly rim board designed to support lateral and vertical loads of an engineered floor system. Sold separately or as part of a floor package for builders and contractors.
• Open Wood Web Floor Trusses Floor trusses with extensive clear spans and higher load capabilities, providing design flexibility without columns. Webbing provides openings for ductwork, eliminating the need for bulkheads and reducing construction costs. For builders and contractors.
• LVL Beams (Laminated Veneer Lumber) Laminated veneer lumber beams structurally bonded with thin sheets of selected wood veneers. Can span greater distances and support heavier loads than ordinary lumber, with resistance to bowing, warping, splitting, and shrinking. For builders and contractors.
• LSL Beams (Laminated Strand Lumber) Cost-effective alternative to LVL beams, manufactured in Canada. Can replace LVL in up to 75% of residential homes, saving approximately 15% per replaced beam. For builders, contractors, and homeowners.
• Wall Panels Pre-manufactured wall panels that increase framing productivity between 40% to 50% compared to traditional stick framing, helping overcome skilled labour shortages and eliminating overhead costs. For builders and contractors in residential and commercial construction.
• Sheds Pre-fabricated wood shed structures in Premium and Standard models across various sizes (8x4 to 24x12) and styles including Pool Shed, Chalet Bunk House, Gardeners Shed, Gambrel Loft, Gambrel Garage, Hunters Lodge, Parkland, and Grandview. For homeowners and property owners.
