Here are the most important things to consider when building a cedar log home.

Here are the most important things to consider when building a cedar log home.
The perfect piece of property does not exist for the most part. You may have to make some compromises when searching for property depending on where you are looking to build your log home. Although it may seem like a dauting task, finding property can be accomplished as long as you remain focused and put in the effort necessary. Working with a local real estate agent who specializes in land will be more helpful than one who is more familiar with working with exising homes. Simply search around online and look for such an agent. Also, the Internet can become a great resource for locating potential home sites. Use real esate websites as well as those who promote land for sale by owner's like Craig's List. You just might might that "perfect piece of property if you search all available outlets. Don't forget to tell family and friends about your land search. They very well may know someone that is considering selling a piece of property that is perfect for you. You may be able to get the inside track before the property is even listed. Don't get discouraged...you will find the property of your dreams with some effort.
Now the property is procured, you can't wait to start builing your log home. Next, you have to design your new log home. Mountain Creations offers over 40 standard log home plans. DOn't be discouraged if one of our plans doesn't fit your needs. There are plenty of options. We can help you, free of charge, custom design the home to exactly fit your needs.

We will even tell you if there can be changes made to make the design more cost effective. Remember, this is all done for our customers...FREE OF CHARGE.
The land is ready, the plan is all set, now it's time to get your construction loan.

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM

Before you embark on designing your log home dream it is best to do some preliminary work and establish a realistic budget for your project. Once this is done you can work with an approximate size parameter for your home.

Keep in mind that most people do not build a stock floorplan home. Usually one of our floorplans is modified, or a plan is adapted from another source, or a complete custom design is developed. However your plan originates, Mountain Creations can cost it out and develope your final blueprints with realistic cost projections from basement to the kitchen stove.
