Select
the Right Site
Too
many people overlook the impact site selection
can have on their budgets and home designs. Making
the right choices takes planning, research and
answers to a lot of questions. We will guide you
through these areas and be a resource when you
examine the site, the soil, well and septic permits,
roads and legalities.

Planning
your Home the Sensible Way
The
best log homes are a synergy of the site and the
structure. Why not spend a weekend on the land
you've chosen for your home? This is an ideal
way to discover what the morning, afternoon and
evening is like as the sun moves over your site.
You'll be aware of the different views and be
more informed as to the best choice of home to
suit your site and desires. These are just some
of the ideas we'll share with you as you begin
to plan your home. We'll ask the right questions.

Energy
Efficiency
In
the planning stages of your new home, you will
be deciding your future energy bills for years
to come. The choices you make now can save you
thousands of dollars in future energy costs. Wisconsin
Log Homes decided from the beginning not to build
inefficient homes. We are experts in advising
you regarding energy efficiency. Ask your representative
about our 52 stellar ways to cut costs, not quality,
with your Wisconsin Log Home.

Codes,
Building Permits and Insurance
Codes
were invented to establish and protect a consistent
quality level for residential building. Even though
all Wisconsin Log Homes are designed to meet the
major model building codes adopted by each state,
local ordinances take precedence. We've helped
many families through this process.

Construction
Will
you be acting as your own general contractor,
or will you be working with one? Everything from
excavation, well drilling, concrete, masonry,
sewer and plumbing to carpentry, roofing, insulation,
electrical, HVAC, drywall, painting and flooring
must be well chosen and coordinated. If you decide
to employ a contractor, begin your search as soon
as you have a building site and preliminary drawings,
even if you don't plan to break ground for several
months. If the builder with whom you are working
has never built a Wisconsin Log Homes package
before, we will be glad to answer any questions
he has and work with him as needed.
From
the costs, to all the decisions you will be making
regarding a log home, you can count on the Wisconsin
Log Homes professionals to do everything within
their power to make your experience a successful
one.
