Acting as your own General Contractor

In 16 years, I have only seen one client (out of several hundred) hire a general contractor for their Log Home Construction. When you act as your own General Contractor it doesn't mean that you are at the job site everyday with a tool belt on. It simply means that you are organizing the subcontractors. The savings by acting as your own General Contractor are substantial. I recently was talking with a colleauge about her addition and garage construction. She asked for my help in looking over the estimates from the General Contractor. I was astounded when I saw a fee of contracting fee of 20%. The estimates totalled out at $277,000. The 20% contracting fee was assessed to that number. An additional $54,000.00! If you are considering a Log Home and want to act as your own General Contractor, we at North American Wholesale Cedar Log Homes can assist you in doing so. We offer on-site technical assistance. Local Subcontractors who are insured and registered. Breakdowns of timelines, schedules, and costs. We guide you every step of the way! Save that $54,000 and chose NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES! Call today at 1-866-933-5647. Visit us at www.nawclh.com or follow us on Facebook!

Why CEDAR?


Did you know that it is national code that you can not build an exterior deck out of wood that is not pressure treated. If you tried to build a deck on your home out of Pine, Hemlock, or Oak that is not pressure treated, your inspection officer will make you tear it down. The only exceptions to that national code is CEDAR, Cypress and Redwood. Cypress is a great wood, however very hard to work with. It has to be worked with when it is still wet and green because when it dries it is so hard that you can't penetrate it with a nail. This means that it will shrink significantly. Redwood is a fantastic wood for exterior construction, but is very costly.

So, when you are considering a Log Home, why would you build an entire home out of a wood that you aren't even allowed to build a deck out of? To get started on your Dream Cedar Log Home contact NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES at 1-866-933-5647 or visit us at http://www.nawclh.com/

Financing a Log Home


When you decide to build a Cedar Log Home, one thing you will discover is that the financing is a little bit different than if you were going to build a conventional home. Because all Log Home Companies require payment in full for the Log Home Package materials on the day of delivery, you will need to work with a Lender who offers a flexible draw schedule. A conforming new construction loan consists of 6 draws. A non-conforming new construction loan allows for 9-11 draws. This will be the type of loan you will need to obtain. We at NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES work with both local and national lenders who will finance a CEDAR Log Home. They will also allow you to act as your own general contractor. For information on getting started on your Dream Cedar Log Home, contact us today at 1-866-933-5647 or visit us at http://www.nawclh.com/

Affordability?


I was recently asked by a potential customer if it was less expensive to buy Pine Logs from a local sawmill than it would be to purchase a Log Home Package from NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES. He said the sawmill could provide him with the lineal footage of Logs that he needed to construct his home for about $15,000.00. When I broke it down and separated just the Logs out of my package, I too could provide them in CEDAR for about $15,000.00. What the man didn't understand is that a Log Home Package consists of far more than just the Logs needed for the exterior walls. If he chose to purchase from a local sawmill, his home would end up being far more expensive than buying a complete Log Home Package from NAWCLH. There are components in the Log Home Package that just aren't available to the retail consumer. There are blueprints that need to be drawn. With over 15 years of experience, there is invaluable knowledge. If you are considering a Log Home, don't try to do it on your own.

How long does it take to build a CEDAR LOG HOME?


Building a CEDAR Log Home takes about 6-9 months to complete from start to finish. If you are building the home yourself, it will take about 1 year. Getting the home "Under roof" takes a little longer than a conventionally built home, but finishing the interior takes less time. NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES works with its customers throughout the entire construction process to insure that all facets of the home are going according to schedule.
