Log Home Packages

The Construction Process

Once your blueprints are finalized and all the decisions have been made regarding your log home, it is time for us to begin construction. We build your log shell at our building yard in Fraser Lake using wood from the local area. If you chose a round log home, our log peelers peel each log using a draw knife to give a smooth, carved look to the logs and to follow the natural shape of each log. If you want any character logs in your home, we will specially select and reserve these pieces to be used in the most suitable locations. If you selected a timber log home, we saw the timbers for your home to ensure we have prime quality timbers for building.

Once the log walls and roof structure are complete we spend the next few weeks on the finishing details of the log shell. We do all we can to simplify and expedite the finishing work.

Since each house is individually constructed we have the flexibility to vary from the above list of typical features if you prefer something different.

We can also provide other items for your log home such as railings, interior doors, trim, and even rustic furniture to compliment your log home.

At any time during construction, you are welcome and encouraged to visit and be a part of the construction of your log home.
