Meet Bevan

About Bevan

I’m Bevan Cuthbertson, a carpenter from the Byron Bay region with a passion for traditional timber framing. After completing my apprenticeship and working with high end builders locally, I travelled the world to refine my craft, learning from master carpenters and deepening my appreciation for working with natural materials.

My experience includes many years of immersion in timber framing and log house building in Sweden, where I blended centuries-old techniques with modern prefabrication, CAD design and energy efficient practices. This journey has equipped me with a high level of craftsmanship and innovation, which I’m proud to bring back to Australia.

About Beam & Brace

At Beam & Brace, we believe traditional timber framing holds immense potential for the modern building landscape. Intricate joinery and well-proportioned frames create spaces that inspire wonder, appreciation and a connection to nature.

Each project is an opportunity to reimagine building through natural materials and time honoured techniques creating meaningful, lasting structures that can be reused, relocated and lived in for generations.
