The sales and production process starts with the customer and their needs. Structural log packages are processed to exact specification, typically starting with a site-builder representing a customer/client, providing design or rough floor plan. After a preliminary quote is accepted, a plan deposit secures the process of producing an ArchiCAD designed log layout. Approval of the log-package and 'industry standard' terms initiate mill-manufactured production.

The Production Process is Simple:

1) Raw logs are lathe-turned/peeled

2) Double tongue-and-grooved

3) Saddle-notched

4) Trimmed to length

5) Drilled for electrical and connecting thru-bolts

The process is completed within three stations on a single line, 120 feet in length. A short, separate horizontal rip saw line cuts foundation logs (split flat), stair treads & runners, siding and meets other specialty needs, as required. Customers are then given the opportunity to inspect the structural package in the yard where it is completely assembled, erected and tagged (every log, in sequence), for pictorial record then disassembled for shipment. Average duration, 5 days versus 6 weeks for a comparable handcrafted log package (2,500 sq. ft., for each unit.)

A few advantages of Quality Log Homes:

1. Shorter production time frame

5. More Economical

2. Greater variety of raw material wood/species utilized

6. Easier to Maintain

3. Easier to containerize for transport (uniform calculation)

7. Easier to Assemble

4. Less settling/shrinkage 2" (51mm) over 8' 6" (2.6m) wall versus
    9" (229mm) to 12" (305mm) for the same hand peeled wall

8. Easier to Finance
