Construction of log houses

Log buildings are wooden buildings made from logs. Hand-chopped houses (becoming more and more popular) have long become very popular. More recently, brick buildings were in the greatest demand. Returning to a tree is not only a tribute to the traditions of our ancestors. Modern technologies of wood processing and construction allow you to create high-quality, durable and economical housing from natural and eco-friendly material. If you move to a permanent place outside the city for the sake of health and clean air, why build a concrete house.

Materials for building handcrafted log houses

For the construction of log cabins, deciduous or coniferous trees are used. It is best to make them from spruce or pine. To the logs less subjected to deformation, it is advisable to carry out their harvesting in the winter. If in winter the thermometer thermometer does not fall below thirty degrees, then it is permissible to use logs whose diameter is 20-22 centimeters. There is a direct pattern: the more severe the climatic conditions, the thicker the logs must be for making houses for log houses. They should be approximately equal in thickness, with a deviation of not more than three centimeters to one side or the other.

Choosing a log house

When you decide to order a log house, it is not necessary to delve into the subtleties of wooden housing and carefully plan the layout. The manufacturer will offer you a choice of several typical house designs, will talk about the benefits of various types of materials. You just have to choose. A specialist who will take into account all your wishes will work on the individual log house project, therefore it is better to formulate them in advance.

We carry out the construction of log cabins in two main ways: cutting into the “Norwegian Castle” and cutting into the “Canadian Chalice”. Both of these methods today are the most correct and common in North-West Russia. For particularly advanced customers, we offer the construction of a log house made of large logs using Robert W. Chambers technology. The latter method is rarely used because of the lack of construction experience with the manufacturers of wooden houses.

To order a log house, you should:

• decide on the material from which the frame will be made;
• determine the size and number of rooms and their height;
• determine the appearance of the house;
• prepare a sketch of the plan of the interior of the future construction. Prepare a photo or a picture of your favorite home;
• meet with a representative of our company and after discussing all the necessary issues, document the order for the construction of the log house.

As a rule, the contract for the manufacture of a log house includes the development of the project of the future house. The customer can either choose from already existing projects of log houses, or express their wishes, and the project will be developed from scratch.

During the construction of log cabins for finished or individual projects, their prices vary significantly. The cost of a house under construction is determined by such factors as the wood species and the diameter of the logs, the height of the walls and their number in the log house, the type of foundation, as well as the price of materials used for the finishing works. The final cost of work is determined after creating a full-fledged project and agreeing with the customer all the wishes for planning and finishing the house.
