Log Home Builders As a log home manufacturer, we assist our customers in their search for a builder in two ways: providing them with the names and contact information of builders providing training and support for all builders, including those on our builder list and builders that our customers have found independently. We accomplish #1 above by providing our customers with a GLH Builder List.  There are two groups of builders on this list.  Group A are builders that have built one of our homes and have completed a Quality Assurance Visit.  Group B is a list of builders that have not built one of our homes but have completed a GLH Builder or GLH Construction Seminar.  After they have built a home and completed our Quality Assurance Visit, they are moved into Group A. We accomplish #2 above in a variety of ways.  These include: Frequent “Builder Only” Construction Seminars.  These 1 1/2 day seminars are free of charge and only builders are invited to attend.  The focus is on specific log construction details.  Critical bidding information is also provided. Six yearly “Construction Seminars.”  These 2 day seminars are also free to builders.  Builders and consumers attend these seminars.  There is more emphasis on the kit materials, options and delivery in this seminar than the builder seminar. Construction Manual:  a very detailed yet easy to read manual is available.   A Toll Free Service number is available to your or your builder to ask any questions that may come up before or during the construction of the home.  Our staff has decades of experience in log home construction. The director of our Design and Engineering department is a Mo. licensed engineer and can answer any specific engineering questions.  He has been a builder, also. Quality Assurance Visit:  We come to each job site during construction to make sure that the home has been built in accordance with our plans and construction manual.  If you are planning to hire a builder to construct your log home, be sure to ask for our Responsibility Form.  This can be used to obtain quotations from different builders to ensure that they are quoting exactly what you want them to include in their bid.  It also ensures that all the builders are including the same things in their bids so you can easily compare prices.  Give us a call to obtain a free copy. Please note: It is the sole responsibility of the customer to arrange for the construction of their home. We suggest that you talk to several builders and other builders in your area.  Always check their references and visit at least one of their structures if possible.  It is always good to ask for bids from more than one builder.  Remember, however, to always look at cost and at quality when choosing a builder.  None of the builders on the Builder List are in any way connected, either financially or otherwise, with Gastineau Log Homes.
