There are many variables to the price of a log home, the design, materials, style, size, insulated roof structure and finish materials are just a few of the many factors. There is no average price for log homes. A quick rule of thumb is the simpler the design, the lower the cost.

When compared with high quality conventional construction, log homes are competitively priced. However, log homes will be more expensive than modular or low-end conventional construction. For those who enjoy the solid, natural environment of a log home, the additional cost is worthwhile.

Many log home manufacturers use so called natural (green) or young logs that retain a high water content for the construction of log homes. When the green logs start to dry out, twisting, checking and warping can occur especially in hotter temperatures and may affect the integrity of the construction. We eliminate these problems by using only the more expensive kiln dried, specially laminated logs which have the same appearance but an extremely low moisture content, ideally suited to hotter countries.

Yes. If they are built properly log homes are very efficient because of the thermal mass of the logs. A well-built log home is typically cool in summer and warm in winter.

Adequate roof overhangs help as insects and fungi prefer damp wood. Most log home owners prefer to retain a natural appearance and will apply a penetrating finish to the outside of their log home. Log finishes should be a high-quality product that allows the wood to breathe while serving as a water-repellent and additional insecticide. Apart from the factory applied protections and sanitising, all our log homes are protected with approved, tried and tested timbercare products.

To preserve the natural beauty of a log home, routine maintenance is essential. The natural elements (rain, wind and sun) where your home is located will determine how often you need to re-apply, but as a rule no less than every five years.

It is a matter of preference. Most owners apply 2 coats of a polyurethane product to interior log walls. Repeated applications are not necessary.

Unless you have the specialised building and carpentry skills, experience, aptitude, physical strength and the patience for such a project, self-build for our homes is not an option. It is essential that in order to be energy-efficient, log homes are built properly as per manufacturer's instructions.

We provide a 10 year guarantee against any material defects. Individual items like roof coverings usually carry 25-year manufacturer's guarantees. The longevity of a well-built log home is legendary, as some log homes are over 200 years old.

If you choose a stock design of average size opposed to a complex custom build, our manufacturing takes 2/3 weeks, shipping and delivery to Europe 2/3weeks and construction of the log home around 2/3 weeks assuming reasonable access and weather. Internal finishes by others obviously subject to individual specifications and manufacturers schedules
