Excerpts

Construction Types There are many beautiful construction options: timber-frame, log construction, panelized, modular, structural insulated panels, steel frame and several types of concrete construction. If you are contemplating building or remodeling your home you may want to consider an alternate method of construction. Even if you decide to build a traditional site- or stick-built home, it is interesting to know that other options exist; you may someday want to consider one of these for a second home or vacation home.
