Custom log and timber homes are highly customizable depending on space requirements, purpose and land layout. A hunting cabin will have a different style than a fully-livable home.

Coming up with home design ideas can be hard sometimes. As a first step, you should list out the features you want from your custom home design. Ask yourself questions such as, “Do I want one or two stories?” and “Will I be doing a lot of entertaining?"

If you are unsure what part of your custom home you want to upgrade, there are a couple of universal options that will add value to your home. This includes adding tile, hardwood flooring, and/or upgraded carpet, as well as installing ceiling fans and more electrical outlets per room.

Statistically, about 0.9 tons of carbon emissions can be cut for every cubic meter of wood. A standard 3-bedroom house made of timber can reduce the carbon footprint from 20 tons to 17 tons.

One of the great benefits of living in a tiny house is the low power cost. After all, it doesn't take much to light up, cool or heat a tiny home, right? As such, you'll probably find your bill to be a lot more pocket-friendly.

Outdoor living spaces are becoming increasingly popular, with more and more homeowners adding patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens. These outdoor areas are a great way to add both space and value to your home.

Modern log cabins will typically have one of four different styles of corners. With full-saddle notch corners, the end of every log is visible, while butt and pass corners have every other log showing. Dove tail corners are squared off, and with modern corners a corner board or post is installed at each corner with no logs extending outward.

In new home construction, once the roofing goes on then the house is considered “dried in.” It’s at this point that the electrician will install receptacles for outlets, lights, and switches, and run wires from the breaker panel to each receptacle.

Custom-made timber homes are much more environmentally friendly than conventional houses given that they are constructed mainly from natural and renewable materials.

Did you know almost 30% of all homes owned in America have only one person living in them? That's one person in a home that averages 2,600 square feet. Downsizing to a tiny house makes sense in terms of money and space.
