Tedd Benson

Tedd Benson, the founder and President of Bensonwood(1973) and Unity Homes (2012), has devoted his life to developing a better way to build. A key figure in the revival of timber framing in America, Mr. Benson was a founder of the Timber Framers Guild and is author of four books on the subject. Bensonwood was launched with the mission to demonstrate how we can effectively build quality, lasting, and sustainable homes by embedding the process with disciplined craftsmanship, along with advanced technology, software, and manufacturing efficiency. After having spent time researching in Europe and Asia, he went on to found Unity Homes, coupling an innovative system of standardization with lean, quality, off-site construction, to make high performance homes affordable and normal. Mr. Benson is a nationally known speaker and presenter, and is the recipient of many awards, including an honorary doctorate from Unity College and The Granite State Award, in recognition of his statewide and national influence on best building practice
