Hammer & Hand: Best Prectices Guide

Sam Hagerman and Daniel Thomas, the visionary owners of the design-build firm Hammer and Hand based in Portland Oregon, have taken the bold step of sharing the company’s manual of best building practices. Yes, these are details that are for a milder wetter cliemate, but still hold gems for Ontario.

“We’re launching this section of our site in the spirit of collaboration,” co-owner Sam Hagerman wrote. “The details contained within have been developed through extensive in-the-dirt experience and informed by our building science training and research. They’re details that we have found combine durability, performance, and constructability in our Pacific Northwest climate.” writes Scott Gibson of GBA.
