Our Lake Front plan is offered in a Base Package (BP), which keeps costs down. Of course, our BP plans are not as luxurious as our other plans and packages, but they exceed the quality of what our competition has to offer. The plans and specifications in a BP plan have been selected to maintain the objective of keeping you on budget and saving money. A full log home is less expensive to build than a half log home, which is why we designed our BP plans around our 8"x8" full log wall system with vertical corners. We use 2"x10" solid wood floor joists and scissor-style roof trusses with common flat trusses throughout the rest of the home. Compared to our other plans and packages, we have designed the homes with fewer windows, less fireplace stone and simplified cabinetry and interior doors. Keep in mind that you still have the flexibility to select different faucets, cabinets, etc. Wood decks are more expensive than concrete patios, which also lowers costs. The floor plans are designed with less complexity and fewer offsets.
