Building a new home can be an overwhelming experience without the help of professional representatives to help you every step of the way. The steps below will help you understand the process.
1.
Contact us for a visit to our model homes. You will see for yourself the high quality of a Kuhns Bros. log home. The kiln-dried logs and No-shop package will convince you to begin planning.
2. You can visit the Kuhns Bros. website (www.kuhnsbros.com) to look at models and pricing or you might want to purchase the Portfolio Package with over 60 floor plans, pricing, and a
video.

3.
It is time for a second visit with us to determine how much house you can afford and how financing might occur. We will also look at your floor plan designs and begin the process of getting free price estimates from Kuhns Bros.
4.
Begin contacting the finance company of your choice. You will want to inquire about construction loans. See our
financing page for companies who regularly finance log homes. This can probably be done over the phone.
5.
Price estimates take about 2 weeks. When we receive the information, we will meet to review the
estimate and make any revisions necessary. We can do this process as often as necessary for you to be happy with your log home floor plan and pricing.
6.
When the design is complete, it is time to make a deposit of $1000 (1 year price freeze only) or $2000.
The $2,000 deposit will lock the price in for one year and enable the drafting department to start the blueprints of your home.
This will take about three weeks.
7.
Is your loan application being processed? The first set of blueprints is ready to be reviewed. If there are no changes, you may sign the blueprints signaling the drafting department to begin the final construction blueprints. This will take five to six weeks. It is also time to choose a builder for your home if necessary.
8.
Contact your finance company to inform them of your progress. Eight weeks prior to delivery a 20% deposit will be required. The finance company will need to be aware of the delivery date when the balance is due.
9.
Prepare your building site for the logs to be delivered and for building to begin. There will be permits required and the foundation can be completed. Notify Kuhns Bros. to prepare your package for delivery.
10.
The day you have been waiting for is here! We will be there with you as logs are delivered and the package is inventoried. You will need a certified check from your finance company before the unloading begins.
