This is the point where everything comes together: We will deliver your materials on the assigned date, but the site and builder have to be ready, payment has to be made, and someone with a vested interest in the project must be available to check on your home's progress. 

By the time assembly of the log components begins, your contractor will have already completed site prep, including grading, pouring the foundation.

Assembly of the log materials can now begin, starting with building the sub-floor and stacking of the logs to make wall segments. Once the walls are completely stacked the Heritage Log Homes’ Thru-bolt system  is installed and secured to maximum tightness to make the walls both airtight and sturdy.  

(To see an example of how the Thru-bolt system adds strength to your log home, we invite you to watch a short video about the Mhire family and their experience during hurricane Rita.)    

Next, the heavy timber second floor system is installed followed by the heavy timber roof system. This includes the tongue & groove ceiling, insulation and roof sheathing.

Once assembly of all Heritage log components is complete, your contractor will go back and make one final tightening adjustment to the Thru-bolt system. The windows and doors are now installed, putting your home "in the dry."

At this point, your contractor will finish out the home with the finished roof, exterier preservative, electrical and plumbing work, exterior decks, fireplaces, cabinetry, fixtures, appliances, trim, etc.

Any further change orders that occur once construction has begun will be made solely at the discretion of the owner and builder. Keep in mind that altering plans in mid-construction can raise your costs, and could possibly affect other aspects of the job, including electrical, plumbing or cabinet installation.
