What is exactly sold when buying a prefab home kit?

1) Blueprints and other documentation

• Preliminary architectural drawings (NOT STAMPED).
• Shop structural drawings (NOT STAMPED). If required by local building authorities, review by a state-licensed professional is to be done at additional cost.
• Easy to read Assembly Manual.

2) Wall set

• Sill plate board (larch wood) to put under the walls and protect the wall beams from moisture - 2” х 7,9” (50x200 mm) - (for slab type foundation - highly recommended option)
• Strapping beam (with pile foundation) (at least 5.9”x5.9” (150х150 mm) - may be thicker depending on the project)
• Log wall system: first grade white pine (free of knots and wood defects, for increased durability of the beam) Stable engineered wood – GLT. interlocking profiled Logs with cups according to the house project.
• The logs are presented in 3 sizes in width and 2 in height - as illustrated in the gallery above.

Available Log Width - 6,4”; 7 7/8”; 9,45”; (160; 200; 240 mm)

7 7/8” (200 mm) thickness option - optimal solution for year-round living in the middle climatic zone, in terms of the ratio of cost and energy efficiency. 9,45” (246 mm) - is for the most frosty and windy regions, like north of Canada or Syberia.

Available Log Height - 7 3/32"; 10 5/8”; (185; 270 mm)
Price is normally given for 7 3/32" (185 mm) height option. Higher logs are used in bigger houses, where the larger size of the log correlates more with the scale of the building.

The U-value for the calculated beam wall is 0,585. It means, that 7 7/8” (200 mm) thick laminated timber wall is equivalent to an 31,5” (80 cm) brick wall)

Cutting of material according to the project design, with the cutting of the end grooves, with protective finishing of the ends, ready to paint. Sanitized and kiln-dried, pre-cut corner joinery system, pre-cut spline notches, pre-cut window and door openings (*minor trimming and odd-shaped openings may need to be cut on-site). Log wall erection diagrams included. Log bundles are well factory wrapped from six sides.

Internal walls are made in a framed design - to reduce the final cost and the possibility of various interior finishes. The use of beams for interior walls is an option, and is available at an additional cost. In this case internal finishing won’t be needed - which is lowering final cost and speeds up moving in.

• An intertwined seal for corner joints
• Laminated beams structural posts - 8” х 8” (200x200 mm) - where required by project.
• The casing frame for window and door installation is 1.6" x 2" (40x50 mm) dry planed block. It is installed inside the window opening, so that the shrinkage of the house after assembly does not change the size of the opening where the window is installed.
• Boards for extension jambs for installation of windows and doors, engineered wood 1,6" x 7,9" (40x200 mm)
• A set of supplies to assemble the wall set.

3) Elements of floors (only in case of pile foundation)

• Subfloor - sawn board 0,6" (15mm)
• Stopper bar - sawn block 1,6" x 1,2" (40x30 mm)
• Framing lumber for exterior decks (if required by the project)
• A set of supplies to assemble the wall set.

4) Roof elements

• Roof truss system - engineered wood (Glue Laminated Timber beams)
• Inner solid roof sheathing - sawn board 0,6"(15mm)
• Inner ventilation battens - sawn bar 1" x 2"(25x50mm)
• A set of supplies to assemble the wall set.

5) Exterior finishing materials

• Eaves soffit - planed board 0,8" x 4,7” (20х120 mm) - where applicable by project
• Fascia - planed board 0,8" x 4,7” (20х120 mm) - where applicable by project
• Casing board for windows and doors - planed engineered wood 0,8" x 4,7”(20х120 mm) (Glue Laminated Timber boards)
• Casing board for the ends of the walls (optional, at an additional cost)
