Some lending institutions will not release funds until the shell package is up and under roof. Many customers change our standard designs to reflect their own personal tastes or to meet their individual lifestyle needs. Our experienced design team will also work from your own unique design, or from your architect's. We will prepare preliminary floor plans and, once you have approved them, we will complete your final drawings which will include extensive plans, details and sections from the foundation through the roof structure. This fee will depend upon the nature of the house design and upon the engineering and code requirements in effect where the log home is going to be constructed.
Customers usually use whatever system is most economical and practical in their area.
Dick and Bonnie Niles are typical. The entire staff was very cooperative with us during the design and building stages. We would not hesitate to build again. If your lending institution will approve your loan, given that you plan to do the construction yourself, you need only basic tools and some limited building aptitude to complete the log portion of the structure. All of our log components are precut to the correct lengths and numbered.
