The Academy breaks down the journey into practical stages, helping you understand what to expect, how to prepare, and the decisions you’ll face along the way:

  • Setting a realistic budget
  • Choosing and evaluating property
  • Exploring styles of log homes
  • Determining room and space needs
  • Placing and orienting your home on the site
  • Converting a bubble drawing into a scaled sketch
  • Moving from concept drawings to preliminary plans
  • Developing final construction documents
  • Watching your home take shape during construction

Each section combines practical guidance with real examples from the Loudonville Log Home project, giving you a firsthand look at how plans turn into reality.
