Delivery and Assembly On Your Site
Stacking a log wall on the client site
Before shipping to your site, the log home is completed as a free standing structure at The Log Connection build site. This process ensures each piece of your home has been properly fit and has passed our quality control examination.
 
Each of our handcrafted log homes is extensively checked and rechecked before ever being considered complete. When the final sanding and clean up of the structure is complete, each log is tagged with an identifying number. Then the log shell is dismantled and loaded onto trailers or into containers ready for transportation.
 
During this initial log home build, your general contractor will simultaneously prepare your foundation and sub-floor at your build site. When the sub-floor is ready, the completed hand crafted log shell package can be delivered.
 
Typically the log package stack at your site will begin on a Monday. The delivery of the log home package is accompanied by at least one Log Connection technical assistant that will be with you for the entire stack of the log home package to advise and assist your general contactor in the re-assembly.
