Log Home PlansRESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Every log or timber home that Log Knowledge designs and builds is a custom project; no two homes are exactly alike. The following time frames are only average estimates in the duration of a typical residential construction schedule. Size, complexity, location, weather, and site considerations for your home will determine the approximate time involved in the construction schedule for your unique project.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION
An initial meeting with a Log Knowledge representative will take place to determine design wish lists, budgets, and general home layout. Creation of preliminary drawings and revisions to prelims will be made based on owner's requests, after which full architectural drawings will be created. Structural engineering, financing, and building permit submittal will then follow. Approximate time: 2-4 months minimum.

LOG OR TIMBER PREFABRICATION
The log shell or log and timber components are prefabricated at the Log Knowledge facility prior to delivery. On-site prefabrication and assembly of log shell or log and timber components can range from several days to several weeks depending on complexity. Approximate time: several weeks to several months.

WEATHER-TIGHT CONSTRUCTION
This type of construction includes the log shell along with materials and labor required to make the structure weather-tight. Excavation, foundation, sub-floor system, log shell, doors, windows, exterior chinking, roof framing, interior framing, and exterior preservative are included in log shell & weather-tight construction. Construction takes approximately 3-6 months.

.COMPLETE TURN KEY CONSTRUCTION
‘Turn key’ construction is a move-in stage of construction that incorporates everything from property improvements (septic, well, excavation, etc.) through floor coverings and appliances. Actual total construction time frams are influenced by site considerations, home size, design complexity, and individual selections of finish materials. Turn key construction takes approximately 7-12 months.
