The Beaver Mountain Design & Build Process

Approve Home Design, Investment & Building Timeline

Your designer and building consultant will present and explain your conceptual drawings and review your personalized options, turnkey estimate ranges and building schedule. After you approve your custom home design and material selections, we will finalize 1/4″ scale floor plans and elevations that can be used for builder bids, interior design planning, and financial options (if needed).

Analyze Bids & Select Your Contractor

Our team of experts will introduce you to contractors near your building site from our extensive network of professionals, or you may already have a preferred contractor in mind. Your building consultant will assist in soliciting bids and proposals for building your one-of-a-kind log home or timber home. We request and analyze proposals/bids to help in your contractor selection.

Ordering & Crafting Your Home

When you order your Beaver Mountain home, our engineering team will develop building site specific, professional engineer stamped construction drawings with report that shows energy code compliance. At this point you are ready to apply for your building permit so the construction can begin at your site. In our shop, the wall logs and structural timbers are pre-cut & numbered and graded to our strict quality and aesthetic standards.

Drystacking Your Log Walls

Log walls are dry stacked in our facilities and then packaged in reverse order on custom made pallets and wrapped to keep them dry and off the ground. Panels are handcrafted and stored along with the other materials for your home, under cover until delivery. Once you have selected the contractor you would like to work with, we’ll coordinate the manufacturing and delivery schedules with their team.

Delivery & Beginning of Construction

Your home will be delivered on time with split delivery dates and staggered delivery times available. The trucks are tarped for delivery and materials are kept dry and clean. At your site, your contractor will unload the wrapped materials and store them on pallets to keep materials off the ground.

Log Home Technical Assistance

Whether your contractor has built many Beaver Mountain log homes or this is their first, our experienced Field Technician log/timber construction advisor will provide on-site technical assistance. They’ll help coordinate materials and assist with the beginning stages of assembling the pre-cut wall logs or panelized frame wall sections.

Timber Frame Structural Panels Technical Assistance

If your home has structural timber frame panels, our field technician will join your builder on site to oversee the installation of the wall panels. These panels are installed prior to the timber frame structure and support the upper level and roof systems.

Weathertight Shell & Interior Finishes

After technical assistance, construction continues. Your contractor will work on getting up the watertight shell, then move onto the interior and exterior details. You will order your cabinetry, decide on the finishes you’d like (flooring, lighting, etc…). The subcontractors come in to do the plumbing and electrical as the interior walls are going up. Construction takes 8-12 months to complete an average 2,000 square foot home.
