At Aspiring Log Homes we do out up most to make the building process as easy an enjoyable for you as possible. From working with you local council to obtain the correct permits to working with and arranging local contractors to get your house to turn key finish. Naturally we what as much input from you as possible.
Stage 1
First we must come up with a design that I can give you a quote on, either a rough quote to start on to give you a ball park figure. Once we have a design such as the attached picture I can then accurately quote the cost to build the log home shell. If price is agreeable we can then move on to the contract process, then move to the next stage.
