LOG & TIMBER CONSTRUCTION
Log Knowledge specializes in log & timber commercial
construction. It is
important that Log Knowledge becomes involved in the project as
early as possible in order to ensure that the design and drawings
are specific to the idiosyncrasies of log and timber construction.
DESIGN
DEVELOPMENT
With 30 years experience designing and solving log
and timber details, LK’s design team can coordinate with the
project architect for concept review and design recommendations.
The next stages involve initial rough budgets, value engineering,
and structural log and timber layout. While the architect continues
in the development of the architecturals, the Log Knowledge designers
further define the shop drawings and connection details. Shop drawings
are then sent to the architect and general contractor for review
and approval, and are ready for engineering and final pricing.
LOG & TIMBER SELECTION AND PROCUREMENT
Log
Knowledge carefully selects its logs from the highest quality Rocky
Mountain trees available. The 8 acre log yard at Log Knowledge
holds the inventory of log and timbers used for each commercial
project. In addition to this selection, Log Knowledge also acquires
many specialty log and timber items specific to a project's required
components.
PREFABRICATION
All projects are prefabricated at the Log Knowledge
facility in Northern Colorado. Prefabricating projects at the Log
Knowledge facility allows for simultaneous on-site construction,
ensures quality control, allows Log Knowledge craftsmen to have
a virtually unlimited supply of logs to select from as they build,
and provides the most cost efficient means for supplying equipment
and labor.
INSTALLATION
AND SITE FABRICATION
Upon completion of prefabricated materials, the log
& timber work is delivered and assembled at the actual job site.
While a majority of the prefabrication is completed prior to delivery,
some connections are required to be fabricated on-site.
