Designing
Your Own Log Home
At Jim Barna, the
first step is to find out what our customers perceive as their family's most
cherished dreams and desires... and then work to fashion a design and blueprint
that perfectly captures your idea of a uniquely special home. Our job is to
help determine the design that will fulfill your objectives within the budget
considerations you give us. How can Jim Barna make your log home, the one you
see when you close your eyes, an affordable reality?
Preliminary "Needs
Plan" Development
Based upon the objectives, budgets, and needs discovered during the initial
design phase with the customer, a preliminary needs plan is developed and
outlined that shows you what your house will look like and how it will flow.
This "rough draft" usually prompts changes and modifications before the final
draft is created.
Initial Budgets and
Cost Estimates
At this stage of the process, you and our cost estimators look again at your
objectives, preliminary needs plan, and budget. Revisions or modifications may
come into play here as the estimate versus the budget is reviewed. Our goal is
to give you the most accurate, detailed pricing for materials and services to
help you make the right decisions.
Financial Plan and
Cost Estimate
After initial cost projections are determined and revisions and modifications
made in the design, our staff will review with you the final plans and cost
estimates for your Jim Barna materials package and our associated services. At
this time, you will have a finalized blueprint, with an understanding of the
exact floorplan, the dimensions of your new house, and the material and dry-in
labor costs.
