Having
top of the line woods, and state of the art log home building technology
is great, but to provide you
with the best possible service, more is needed
to take your dream home from concept to completion. You need a high
quality log home, designed by knowledgeable staff, who can then transform
your concept into construction plans. Ayrewood Log Homes
uses the most technically advanced log home cad (computer aided
design) software. This ensures that your log home plans will be precise
and that all levels of manufacturing and assembly will flow
smoothly.
Optional
design services that we provide are 3-D photo realistic renderings
(exterior or interior) , fly-bys and walk-throughs. If you use the
internet , we can post your plans in real time, for your at home viewing.
Ayrewood
Log Homes specializes in custom designing log homes. If you have not
already come up with your plans, we would like to describe what works the
best for those of you who are trying to come up with that perfect log home
plan.
Firstly,
you should research log homes as much as is practically possible (log home
magazines, log home shows, log home sites on the internet, visiting
manufacturers and so forth). Study available log home plans -- see
Ayrewood log home's plan book on this site. Assemble a folder of cut outs,
designs and features you like ---- call it your ideas folder. Add
personal notes, sketches, and even photographs of homes you like, to this
folder as required. Also
note that we can design a log home from a set of conventional home plans,
that you like. Mark up any changes you want on plans (log or
conventional) you find. Make photo
copies of the contents of this ideas folder, and mail us a copy.
From
your ideas folder, and by working with you, we can custom design
your home. We first prepare preliminary log home plans , which are
sent to you. you then have total freedom to make revisions and then send
back to us. We update the preliminaries, based on your requests, and then
send the updated plans back to you for approval. This process
continues until you have the
plans that you
dreamed of. At this stage, we then contact your
local county building authorities, to
find out all requirements, for submitting completed plans for permit. Then
the final construction drawings are completed. We can also arrange
to have your plans engineered and sealed in any state or province. In
states/counties requiring energy calculations, we will arrange this for
you as part of the home design process, ensuring your final plans meet all
necessary requirements for permitting.
