1. Site Preparation

The home construction process begins with site preparation, which is accomplished through the Customer's choice of General Contractor or sub contractor. This includes the installation of the driveway, bringing services such as water and power to the immediate vicinity of the actual site of the building, the layout of the septic field if required, and preparing drainage lines.

2. Foundations

The next step is to excavate for the foundations of the home. These may be simple concrete footings or a foundation wall. Quite often there will be a walk-out or regular basement involved and concrete floors will also be poured at this time.

3. Delivery of Log Package

Once foundations are in place the log home package can arrive on site.  

4. Construction of the Shell

The selected contractor / builder commences assembling the logs. The Meadowlark Log Homes method is straightforward but a little different that conventional construction. The customer and his/ her builder have access to the Meadowlark factory for advice.

5. Interior Completion

This will involve a variety of specialized sub-trades. Each individual contractor should be clear about your expectations and use of materials before commencing work. Needless to say, you should have already obtained a firm contract price at this stage. It is easy for this area to go over budget if expensive upgrades are made at the last minute.
