Ken Bouvier

Ken has been building and restoring timberframe structures since the early 1970s, and founded South County Post & Beam in South Kingstown, R.I., in 1976. Drawing on the best of traditional joinery and implementing the most up-to-date machinery and engineering systems has helped him grow his business to include 30 employees and over 1000 successful projects, about 800 of which were full timber frames.
