Who would think that building a log home might have so many options? Build a basic log home in the traditional pioneering DIY way or have one completely custom designed, engineered, and built for you. You can even purchase a custom plan and materials and do some of the construction work yourself.
The Kit
Kit homes are essentially that – a home in a really large box (a slight exaggeration). Your kit home is built off site at a construction yard, then disassembled and loaded onto a trailer. It is trucked to your property and rebuilt on your site. While fans of this option speak of lower costs and faster completion, critics argue that “a building that is easy to take apart is inherently weak.”
The Package
Another option for the log home enthusiast is to work with an established company that specializes in designing and providing the materials for these homes. Unlike a kit, you work with the company to determine the plan and materials. You may also (depending on the company) choose to purchase plans and materials only, plans + materials + dry-in labor, or turnkey construction.
Once you select the plan and materials, the company takes care of preparing the materials customized to your order and shipping them to site for assembly. The house is not assembled, dismantled, and then reassembled as would happen with a kit home.
So what’s your log home-building style: DIY, go with a kit, do some of the work, or let the pros do it all? Make a plan, get your finances worked out, secure the land and permits, and get started!
