Log Home Building Process:
|
The first step in purchasing
a log home kit or package is to figure out exactly what you
want. For example, do you prefer a handcrafted log home, or
a machined log home? Do you want a prefabricated log home
kit, or a custom log home? Do you have plans drafted up or
stock plans? Is there a particular style of log building
that you prefer? Shown below is the Scandinavian full scribe
method.

After you have considered all
of the preliminary questions that you can think of, it's
time to start collecting price quotes from builders.
Most builders will have some stock log home kit prices or
guidelines from previously built homes. The more specific
details that you can give to each builder, the more accurate
their quote is likely to be. When you start getting quotes
back from dealers they will vary in price. |
Try to get as many specific details as possible back from
each log building company as small differences can add up
and affect the overall price quoted to you. Remember: The
lowest price does not necessarily equal the best value.
After a builder has been selected, you are
ready to move into the production phase. Should you choose
to purchase a prefabricated log kit, production will take
very little time. A custom built log package usually takes
between 1 to 6 months depending on the size and complexity
of your log home plans.

Your house will be built from the ground up
and will evolve from just a few logs high, to full walls. |
