You’ve found the perfect floor plan, but it is a little over budget.
Don’t worry, there are some variations you can make to the standard package that can make it more affordable, without compromising the integrity of the package.
This home shows examples of the vertical corners and treated baluster rail system.

Our home packages come with log railings on the exterior deck and porch areas. To save some money you could convert those to our less expensive square treated baluster rail system. SAVE $500 to $2,000 per package.
Our split log homes and garages come standard with butt and pass log corners. You can certainly save money by switching to our solid log vertical corner system. SAVE $2,000 to $4,000.
The interior doors that are standard in our home packages are solid, six panel pre-hung doors. If you need to trim costs, this door can be switched to a flush, oak or birch without the panel design. SAVE $500 to $1,500.
Our packages include Pro-Line stone on the fireplace chase from the floor to the top of the chimney. You could stone only the area below the mantle and SAVE $1,000 to $2,000.
All of our standard packages pro-vide matching split log to cover the exterior rim joist of the first floor. Most companies don’t provide anything, or they just use pine boards in that area. We can deduct the matching split log there and SAVE $750 to $1,500.
Our package comes with medicine cabinets for the bathrooms; maybe you would prefer a mirror instead? That will save you a few hundred dollars per room. SAVE $200 to $600.
Our home packages come with a matching split log (half log) on the exterior upper gable ends of the home and garage, as well as dormers. You can save some money by switching these areas to a knotty pine tongue and groove or wood shingles. SAVE $500 to $2,500.
The ceilings in all of our homes as well as the exterior walls on our split log homes come with knotty pine tongue and groove planking. Convert some or all of that wood to drywall and SAVE $500 to $2,500.
If you are building on a slab, remember we have the sub floor and basement stairs included in our standard package. You can deduct those to SAVE $2,000 to $5,000.
We provide high quality insulated garage doors and windows for your garage. If your climate doesn’t require these, replace with uninsulated and SAVE $500 to $1,500.
If you are building in a temperate climate, we can change our insulated 2”x6” walls to insulated 2”x4” walls to SAVE $800 to $1,600.
We have big log tie beams included in all of our loft packages. You can deduct them and SAVE $600 to $900.
We include 30 year warranty shingles. You could substitute 20 year and SAVE $300 to $1,000.
Buy one of our 46 standard homes and make absolutely NO changes to the plan and SAVE $1,500. If a designer gets involved, this offer is null and void.
