Below is how a The Herring project is broken down. Your starting configuration is the plan as drawn; your current estimate reflects the choices you make from there.
Log Package+
Wall logs, scribing and fitting, corner work, borate treatment, and the fasteners and sealing materials used in the wall assembly.
Roof Package+
Roof framing members, sheathing, and the substantial overhangs that protect the log walls.
Chink & Stain+
Exterior and interior chinking plus the initial stain and seal cycle on the log work.
Interior Framing+
Interior partition framing for bedrooms, baths and utility spaces.
Windows & Doors+
Units and openings framed to allow the log walls to settle freely.
Decks+
Deck and porch framing, decking and railing as shown on the plan.
Subfloor+
Floor system over the foundation, sized to the plan and span.
Additional Work+
Optional phases — garages, added bedrooms, extended porches, dormers, finish carpentry — priced as the design is settled.
Pricing Notes+
Foundations, site work, utilities, permits, transportation distance, crane access, and local trade rates all move the number. Pricing is subject to change with material markets and is confirmed in writing at planning.
Payment Schedule+
Payments are tied to defined milestones — agreement, material procurement, fabrication, delivery and erection stages — and set out in your project documents.
