How Long Does It Take To Build Log Homes August 4, 2011
Deciding on building a log home is a good choice. They are less expensive than stick-built, banks and other lending institutions will finance your project, and you can even be your own general contractor without the burden of a contractor license, ergo, you’ll save money. However, this may not be the wisest choice since the procedure is a bit complicated and some lenders will eschew loaning money unless a professional contractor is used.
In terms of time, you should plan on five to six months from beginning to end when you get the keys and move in.This/tag helps explain it more. Think pre-construction headaches like picking a floor plan, ordering the log home, and the permit process. This could eat up about four months. The site improvements, footings, and final log home erection, could run 45 to 60 days before completion unless you hit bad weather. This is not bad news, just to some degree, frustrating. The good news is once finished, a log home will be safer, and last longer than stick-built. Outside maintenance is vital. Keeping rain or sprinkler water away from the structure, especially around the base is critical. Wet logs rot which can be an expensive killer, so be diligent.
