   Have you experienced these events in the course of preparing plans for your customers?

  • A customer balks at a change order that occurred because a beam in the plans was not covered by the package price.
  • A building official requires stamped plans because they have no experience with log structures, fire ratings of log walls, or thermal performance?
  • An engineer charges more than expected because they had to establish design values and structural properties for the wall-logs.
  • An engineer marks up a set of plans with different rafter, joist, and/or beam sizes
  • The engineering review generates a fastening schedule that is unusual or unrealistic.
  • A customer is requesting a custom log profile for which existing engineering work does not apply.
  • A potential change to improve the wall system or components within it is put off because no one has time to do the comparative analysis.

   These are direct expenses tied to the process of generating plans for your customers. Yet, in-house change orders, corrections caught in plan check, and the product learning curve for new designers are hidden expenses that lengthen blueprint turnaround. Now, both direct and hidden expenses can be minimized at the same time. How? Order TimberLogic and put it to work.

   With traditional production bottlenecks occurring in the design and engineering phases of the custom log home process, analytical tools can be employed to improve both accuracy and turnaround in the plan approval process. When your staff is referring to the same tools, pricing systems will be accurate directions for designers to follow in creating plans, and the designer can check to see that the estimator applied the correct data. This assurance that in-house processes produce consistent specifications builds customer confidence.

   Experience with similar tools have proven beneficial for training all levels of design professionals as to the appropriate use and layout of structural materials provided in your log home packages. When your estimators and designers references these analytical tools, plan errors are reduced as are pricing variances. When presented with the plans for review, both engineers and building officials can readily follow the substantiation for the structural design.
