With over 25 years of experience in the construction industry—particularly in timber frame design and manufacturing—Square Peg Engineering specializes in crafting creative solutions for complex structural challenges. Whether you need to span it, lift it, or move it, our team brings a fresh, innovative approach to problems that traditional methods often can’t solve.
From elegant porches and rustic pavilions to long-span trusses and full-scale covered bridges, we offer a comprehensive suite of design and engineering consultation services. These include on-site evaluations, schematic design development, and detailed structural documentation tailored to your project’s specific needs. At Square Peg, we pride ourselves on thinking differently—delivering results that fit where others don’t.
Josh Coleman has a lifelong passion for building. From forts in the woods and skateboard ramps in the neighborhood to three-story treehouses and covered bridges, building structures, solving problems, and creating beautiful architecture has been part of how he engages with the world. Josh caught the spark of engineering during Physics class in High School and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering before joining up with Lancaster County Timber Frames in 2000. With hundreds of design projects completed in the 25 years that he has been designing and engineering timber frames and residences, Josh still loves the challenge of new and interesting projects. With the support and encouragement of his dear wife and five awesome kids, Josh started up Square Peg Engineering as a venue to expand the opportunity to work and collaborate with homeowners, timber framers, and builders as they develop and design their own projects. Licensed as an Architectural Engineer in several states on the East Coast, Josh can review and approve Architectural and Structural Plans or create new custom designed plans from scratch. In his free time, Josh enjoys playing music, sailing, bicycling, or just a nice walk around the block at sunset.
