How Long Will This Take ?

As we work the spring trade shows one of the many questions that is ask is "how long will it take?"

That is a good question but in order for us to answer it correctly for you we need to know a couple of things........

Do you mean from the time you do a contract with the log provider ? or maybe you mean from the time you have plans in for permits.....or do you mean from the time that construction starts.

So I guess you understand a bit more now and then another question we would ask are you going to build it all your self or will a crew "weather it in" or will you have a General Contractor on the project.....those would be just some of the answers we would need to have from you.

Now let me go back and give you a bit of an over view of the process for us :

First we would need to know what you are wanting to build and then we would give you a quote covering your materials cost for the project if you wanted to get started then we would do contracts with you and our parent company Lincoln Logs.

Then we would send that contract and your deposit to them.....they will start the process at Lincoln of drafting your plans once they have a 10% deposit. See where I said a process will that means that time line could take around 4 months to get your final plans.

Once you have those ( and let me remind you that Lincoln provides you with Engineered Final plans that are ready to submit for permits ).....each county or city has a different time line in which it takes them to get though the permit process ( there is that word again )....average is around 6 weeks.

Then you get the OK to start working on the land ....which means your dig a whole pour concrete do a sub floor and then we come along with your log package and that will mean the log walls all the roof framing and sheeting and shingles along with all your interior wall and maybe second floor framing. And so on I don't want to go on for to long because there are many different parts to this....along with inspections from the county or city to see that things are being done to meet codes....

I have added a couple of pictures of this starting process with captions below each picture.....

Above the footings are formed ready for concrete....

Here the sub floor is getting the sheeting and yes that is the ocean : )

This home schooling family have a ton of supporting families that wanted to help them......

Here is an inside framed out home ....doesn't have windows in yet....

This is the look of our "weather-tight " materials package in place now they are working inside to finish....

These pictures are of different homes.
