Prices and styles

ATTENTION! We build only from seasoned logs. We keep logs stacked at our production site during a year (at least summer), and only after evaporation of the main part of moisture we start to build. It helps to increase the quality of notсhes and joints and to minimize settling of a log building.

Log structure from round Siberian pine logs with diameter 36-60cm.
Base prices (including raw logs price):

Usually log building consists of all above listed components in different proportion. Each of them is priced separately. The price depends not only on cubic meters of logs, but on the number of notches, joints, openings, cuts, etc. For rough estimation of price above listed prices can be used. To price a project precisely preliminary design drawings are needed.

We build handmade log houses and saunas in following styles:

1 HandCut/HandCrafted - log houses of logs of big diameters (35-60cm), connected usually with diamond notch , classic russian round notch and saddle notch are available.

2 Piece-en-Piece - logs stacked horizontally between vertical posts. No standard notches and corners. Only some elements of a house are usually built in a piece-en-piece style.

3 Hybrid (non-settling) - mixing of two or more materials to build a house. Our hybrid log homes blend non-settling materials (bricks, concrete, stones, timber framing) and round logs to underline it's natural beauty. The log walls are chinked. They do not settle down and this give an opportunity to combine it with other non-settling materials.

4 Post & Beam - houses where log structure consists of round post and beams.

5  Scandinavian style - houses from lafet - logs with two flat side cuts. Lafet is 22cm wide and from 32cm high are connected with Norwegian notch :

5 Truss - essentially a triangulated log system of straight interconnected structural elements. The most common use of trusses is to support roofs or big spans.
