Our Process
- Planning - Purchasing your land is the first step in building your log home. Soil types, perk tests, surveys, covenants, restrictions, set backs, clearing and excavation all play a critical role in your log home process, and also help determine the style of foundation from a slab to a walkout basement.
- Research
- Building site search
- Soil type
- Covenants/Restrictions/Set Backs
- Design decisions and Contracts - This is the stage where all your design thoughts come together.
Start by asking yourself questions:- Do I prefer an open floor plan, where the great room incorporates the living, dining and kitchen areas?
- How much cooking and entertaining will I do in my kitchen?
- Would I like a formal dining room as well as an eat-in kitchen?
- Do I want a loft area or 2nd story?
Once construction blueprints are finalized they can be submitted for your final quotes, and to the county/city for your permit.
