Doors and window locations, as well as interior walls are quite easily moved. I do not think that I have ever built a house without at least a few minor changes to the plans. Our experience and local knowledge will expedite your entire construction project.Ī: Yes. From selecting plans to helping you find the perfect piece of property. How do we get started?Ī: Buster’s Log Homes can be involved in the building process well before any construction begins. Q: We have always dreamed of building a log home. Conventional types of insulation are used in the roof system, interior walls, and sub-floors when needed. A log wall is a sold thermal mass which works better than conventional walls at keeping hot or cold air form escaping. No two are exactly alike.Ī: The walls of a log home need no insulation. Each home that I build is bid out individually. There are many things that determine the final price of a home.

Q: How does the cost of a log home compare to a comparable stick built home?Ī: I build log homes for about the same price as a good quality frame stick built homes in this area. This depends upon several factors including weather, location and the layout of your land. Q: How long will it take to dry-in my log home as opposed to a turn-key job?Ī: A dry-in construction on average sized home usually takes 5 to 8 weeks. A realistic expectation for a complete turn-key build is about 6 to 9 months. Q: How long will it take to build my log home?Ī: This can vary greatly based upon several factors including weather, location, who is building the home, etc. “Buster’s Log Homes”, turn-key projects take everything into account: site preparation, logs, log package and foundation up to finished flooring and exterior stain application. A ballpark range (and it’s a really big ballpark) is from $125 - $180 per square foot for a turn-key project.

The “square foot figure” can change quite a bit based upon location, layout of your land, porches or decks, customer likes and dislikes and other design considerations all may impact the price. Q: How much does it cost per square foot to build a log home?Ī: This is the most commonly asked question and perhaps the most difficult to answer. We work with Southland Log Homes, Yellowstone Log Homes and with area architects, if the customer so chooses. We can offer many standard plans as well as custom plans. Q: Can you work with different Log Homes package plans?Ī: Absolutely! We can work with almost any plans however, some may need to be modified for local codes.
