I need help with the installation of overhead lighting.

I am having a home built. The first floor will have large exposed white oak beams. The problem is that my contractor tells me that the floor is not thick enough above the beams to accommodate a box and therefore it is impossible to secure overhead lighting to the ceiling between the beams so he is wanting to mill the beams to accept an electrical box. I don't want to mess up these nice large (and expensive) beams with holes. I have seen lighting mounted as I want it (attachments


) and I am wondering were I can direct my contractor to this information. Any and all advise will be greatly appreciated.
