How long does the construction of a log home with an average number of bedrooms compare to a similar conventional frame house?
If both floor plans are the same and the log home has no special design features, construction time is about the same.The move-in date may be a couple of weeks longer for the log home. Most log houses are built off-site, then transferred to the owner’s property. Construction time can be cut if the property dries quickly in spring and if the foundation is already in place. Timing will also depend on your project manager—is he or she well-prepared and organized? — and if the subtrades can complete their work on schedule.
