Expert advice & practical solutions
At the Log Home Academy, we bring together decades of expertise in log home design, engineering, and construction to help you make smart, informed decisions.
Building a custom log home is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—and often a long-held dream—so we make sure you’re equipped with practical knowledge that’s grounded in real-world experience.
Our workshop sessions cover everything from choosing the right species of wood and understanding log profiles to modifying existing floor plans or creating your own. We’ll walk through common budgeting pitfalls, permitting requirements, and financing options, as well as tips for selecting a qualified builder who understands the nuances of log construction.But it’s not just about technical knowledge.
You’ll also get insight into how your home can reflect your values—whether that’s energy efficiency, sustainability, long-term durability, or simply the joy of natural materials and craftsmanship. We believe good information leads to better choices—and ultimately, a better home.
The Academy also creates time for personal Q&A, so you can bring your sketches, questions, and ideas and get tailored guidance. It’s your chance to learn from professionals who know what works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate the challenges of custom homebuilding without losing sight of what matters most.
By the end of the day, you’ll understand the key phases of building a log home—and be far more prepared to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a solid plan in hand.
