Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our Web site. The navigation
tabs on the left and above, and your browser's 'back/forward' tabs will
guide you through the information. Be sure to check our 'Gallery', where
you will see a sample of our extensive expertise, developed over 18 years
in business.
Q.L.H, has three specialties. The
first is its emphasis on the use of Western Red Cedar and Cypress (also
known as Yellow Cedar) both of which are native species to our British
Columbia, Canada, location. The second is our 'accurately milled', tightly
fitted double tongue-and-grooved method of log building systems plant
production. This offers consistent quality of product, with log diameters
ranging from 8 to 14 inches and lengths up to
20'-6" (in 3" increments) for fewer butt joints - all in less
than 1/5th of the time of handcrafted log package production. With sapwood
removed, shrinkage is dramatically reduced as well. Our third specialty,
made possible by our growing production facilities, is our ability to
accommodate large projects in timely fashion, whether it is a size
requirement (large home, lodge or commercial structure) or a need for
volume (multiple units, within a defined construction period - e.g.; ski
resort or subdivision).
Western Red Cedar and particularly Cypress are species
recognized globally as being highly insect resistant and very suitable to
warm, damp climates. Although our specialty, we are not restricted to these
species. We have ready access to spruce, pine and fir logs as well.
The key to any customer relationship is service. Having
spent the better part of our history serving overseas customers, throughout
Asia, South America, and on occasion, Europe, we understand the
complexities of long distance relationships. Accordingly, where possible,
we match our capabilities with the services and attentiveness of local
builders. Where required, we are able to send our own erection-supervisor
crews.
Finally, for your convenience we have a complete
'ArchiCAD' based design unit, allowing you to modify any of the floor plans
and elevations you will see here (or your own kitchen table sketches) to
receive initial quotes. Once satisfied with concept layouts and preliminary
estimates you can view your new home in full 3D perspective. Our
construction design services are available at very competitive prices. All
plans are in accordance with your local building and energy codes.
