LOG HOME KIT MATERIALS
American Log Brokers uses random length logs and offers standard homes for you to choose from. You may also custom tailor your own log package by specifying those items you wish to purchase from American. Conventional lumber needed for the home is typically purchased by either the homeowner or builder from your local lumber yard or building center. By doing this, the materials can be delivered as they are needed on the job site with considerable savings to the homeowner.
It is highly recommended that homeowners who wish to build the home themselves have construction knowledge and experience. If not, hire a local, experienced, and reputable contractor. All homes come with a detailed construction manual. Check with local building departments for building code requirements. These may vary from state to state and county to county.
