Why Hire a Consultant for a Tree House?
Consulting is an important and growing part of the tree house building industry. The costs of full service custom treehouses are significant, but people still want their tree houses to be built safely. The solution is to hire a tree house expert to help get the project started the right way.
Building tree houses is an art and science that draws on many fields such as carpentry, tree biology, welding and machining, and engineering. All of these are common enough skills. What is not common, and in fact exceedingly rare, is having all of these skills working in harmony within one company. What should come as no surprise is that the part of your tree house that needs an expert the most is the tree to treehouse interface(s): any place where any part of your tree house touches or is within a few inches of your tree(s). If these areas are not handled with skill and experience, then it will lead to trees suffering unnecessarily or the tree house being unsafe. Other than these all important tree - tree house interfaces, any good local carpenter with an imagination can build a great treehouse and any good local arborist can care for your tree. The point is that most arborists and most builders don't build good tree houses! You need experience, good practices, and all necessary skill sets actively working together.
In summary, if you don't care about the health of your trees, the safety of people using the tree house, or don't need the the treehouse to last more than 5-10 years, then you may not need consulting help.
