Award Recipients 2007: Appalachian Log Structures, Beaver Mountain Log Homes, Katahdin Cedar, Kuhns Bros., Real Log Homes™, Whisper Creek and Wisconsin Log Homes.

6 Companies Earn Builder Friendly Status
It's no secret the log and timber home industry has far more interested buyers than it does builders to turnkey the homes. But contractors interested in narrowing the field of options can now turn to a handful of companies that have earned Builder Friendly status from this magazine.

Appalachian Log Structures, Katahdin Cedar, Kuhns Bros., Real Log Homes™, Whisper Creek and Wisconsin Log Homes have all qualified as builder friendly because they offer a construction manual, builder training and a host of other services, says Charles Bevier, editor of Building Systems.

"To qualify, companies have to meet a rigorous list of requirements–more than 20 categories of business development, collateral material and training," Bevier says. "These are among the first in the log home industry to not only meet but surpass these requirements. With the Builder Friendly designation, contractors can rest assured that the relationship between a log home manufacturer and builder will be comprehensive, detailed–and above all–professional."

Real Is Real Friendly To Builders
If you're looking to get into the log home business but don't know where to start, you can turn to Real Log Homes (Hartland, VT) with confidence. That's because this company, with licensed manufacturing facilities in Vermont, Montana and Arkansas, has earned Builder Friendly status from this magazine.

The designation means a log home company offers design services, log grading, a construction manual, construction training, warranties in writing, on-site construction assistance, furnished construction drawings and a plethora of other support services.
Other companies that recently earned this designation include Appalachian Log Structures, Katahdin Cedar Log Homes, Kuhns Bros. Log Homes, Whisper Creek Log Homes and Wisconsin Log Homes.
