Each eLoghomes log home is designed to meet at least the minimum standards of the 2018 International Residential Code and will, in many cases, meet local building code requirements. However, some locations may impose other requirements which you must make eLoghomes aware of to insure that your log home is appropriately modified to meet those specific requirements.
All eLoghomes designs meet a 40 lb. roof/snow load standard. Roof loading can easily be modified for your particular building location at either a modest extra charge (for higher load regions) OR a cost reduction (for lower load areas).
Nails are only provided by eLoghomes under our shell erection agreement.
