Planning to Build your Log Home

When designing your home, keep your budget in mind. As all of our homes are custom designed each home must be priced out on an individual basis. The more labour intense your design, the higher the cost. Particulars in designing that may affect the price include:

• the size of your home
• number of log corners
• complexities of the roof system, dormers and valleys
• custom log trusses

Although these items can add to the uniqueness and look of your home, they will also add to the price. Different home options available to you:

• full log home with log roof support system
• timber frame home - round or squared timbers provide you with the basic framework for your home. The home is then finished conventionally.
• conventional frame home - incorporating unique log elements such as log columns, posts and handcrafted log trusses.
