General
Information
 We treat
each log structure we build as a once in a lifetime opportunity to
construct something spectacular, and that cannot be duplicated.
From an Architectural perspective, our structures must first meet three
main criteria. The first is strength. Our professional team hand selects
each individual log that will be incorporated into your home. This
insures that only logs with straight grain and no deterioration will be
used. The second
is Function. This can be accomplished by fusing your ideas for a floor
plan with the latest technology being used in the modern home. The third
criteria is beauty. Our accomplished staff will achieve a structure that
enhances the landscape in which it is built.
To make the building
process more enjoyable for you,
we have in place remote internet access which enables us to keep you up to
date on the progress of your home.
Before you come to us to
discuss your plans to build, we suggest you look at the home you are
living in now and go room by room, and make a list of things you like or
dislike about it. Another suggestion is to gather photos of
different log homes that appeal to you. In most cases this will be a
good start for your drawings. If you do any rough sketches, try to
spell out room sizes. Don't worry about the outside dimensions at
first. Keep in mind that frame plan books are a good place to get
ideas and we can easily modify them to work with log.
When you visit us, you will
be provided a detailed explanation of our log joinery and why it is
superior to other forms of log construction. We will explain
R-values and the reason why cedar is the best when it comes to thermal
mass and heat storage. We will show you specifics on how we install
doors and windows and how we allow for movement in log walls. We
will give you detailed information on our poured wall and masonry
foundations. We will explain to you how the process works from
on-site visit of your building site to completed project.
Once you've selected us to
build your home, we will begin the design phase. A deposit
will be required at this time. When you've chosen a floor plan, our
Architect/design staff can finalize your drawings. We have both architects and
engineers available for areas that require their expertise.

many examples of how we can get creative with your home. |
