BEFORE WE BEGIN

Please answer the following questions so we can prepare a preliminary budget estimate and identify the best starting point for your project.

Note: Your responses and the budget range provided are preliminary only, not a final quote. This form is simply to give you a rough idea of what your project may cost.

* Even if you’re unsure, give your best answer with the information you have.


Contact Information

We’ll use this information only to share your estimate and connect with you about your project.

Where will this project take place?

Country

Which services you are interested in?

Log Shell Fabrication & Installation: We fabricate and set the reclaimed log shell on

your prepared slab or foundation.

Dry-In Service: Includes log fabrication and installation plus gable framing, roof decking,

exterior doors and windows, chinking and roof system so the building is weather-tight

and ready for interior finishing.

Design Service: We create design plans for the reclaimed shell elements only, which you

can hand off to your architect or engineer for complete build plans.

Project Management: We oversee your project from the planning stage through construction, coordinating with contractors, engineers, and architects. Our role is to align scope, budget, and schedule while keeping the build on track and organized.

Complete Service: Includes the design and pre-construction services as well as log fabrication, installation, and dry-in for full start-to-finish support.

Choose your reclaimed log structure option

Refer to guide below
  1. Original Reclaimed Log Structure: If you value an authentic historic cabin reassembled close to its original design, choose this option.

  2. Modified Reclaimed Log Structure: If you value a historic cabin but need it adapted with added features or layout changes, choose this option.

  3. Custom Reclaimed Log Structure: If you value design freedom while still using reclaimed authentic dovetail logs, choose this option. 

Do you have any of the following in place?

You can make multiple selections or none of the above.

What day would you like construction to begin on your property?

Please allow 6–12 months of planning and preparation before your build can begin. This time is needed for design, pre-construction work, and fabrication.

What is the intended use for this structure?

Example: This could be a home, hunting lodge, commercial building, or event space.

What is the approximate finished square footage space you'd like for your reclaimed structure?

Enter your best estimate (for example - 1,800 sq ft).

Please include additional measurements below if decided.

Select Your Preferred Log Species

Select the log species you prefer, or choose “Undecided” if you don’t have a preference yet.

* Because reclaimed wood is unique, the final product may look slightly different than these examples.

Choose Your Log Structure Complexity

Refer to the visual below. 

Simple: straight forward footprint. Few corners. Light shaping.

Standard: more corners. More fitting. Moderate dovetail work.

Complex: Expanded layout. Many corners. Extensive dovetail cutting and log fitting.

Important Note:

More corners, logs, and dovetail work don’t automatically make a structure stronger, but they do make it more expensive. Each added detail means more timber, more fitting, and more labor. We recommend choosing the level of complexity that matches the look and presence you want to create

How do you want the gable walls to be finished?

On the gable ends, do you want the logs to run all the way to the peak, or would you prefer the upper triangle framed with siding outside and finished with wall cladding inside?

Describe how you’d like the gable ends finished.
Optional but very helpful 

Would you like other reclaimed materials beyond the frame?

This is optional, but sharing a photo will help us prepare a more accurate price range

Dormers

Optional, but sharing a photo will help us understand your vision

Are there any other unique log structure add-ons you would like to include in this project?

(ridge beam, stick framed edition, porch, etc.)

Site & Foundation

We use this information to evaluate access, terrain, and foundation needs.

If not owned, share expected timeline.
(slab, crawlspace, basement, piers, etc.)
If access is limited, please describe the restrictions.
(flat, hillside, bluff, access on all four sides, etc.)
(soft ground, snow, floodplain, road weight limits, etc.)

Would you like Three Ten to include Dry-In Service in your project?

Dried-in typically includes wall and ceiling insulation with exterior sheathing as the core service, and can also include roofing, doors, windows, siding, and other elements as needed.

Your answer here will guide the next set of questions.

Are you interested in having us chink the gaps between the logs?

We use a product called Permachink (seen below)

What type of roofing do you prefer?

 If you’re not sure yet, select “Unknown”
This is optional, but sharing a photo will help us prepare a more accurate price range.

Do you want reclaimed rafters visible from the inside?

Optional but very helpful 

Windows & Doors

Approximate number and sizes for windows & exterior doors

Example: 6 windows (approx. 3×5 each)
Example: 2 exterior doors (1 standard, 1 double slider)

Do you want a loft?

Half loft pictured below

What is your total project budget you do not want to exceed?

This number includes all construction costs, not just Three Ten Timber’s services.

(best estimate is fine)

Help us Visualize Your Project

This is optional, but sharing photos, sketches, or inspiration images helps us tremendously in preparing your estimate.

Picture of the property or location where you plan to build.
An example of a cabin or structure you like the look of.
A sketch, rendering, or plan that shows your ideas for layout or design.

Is there anything else we should know to help us prepare your budget range?

How We Work

We design and build reclaimed log structures using historic hand-hewn materials and traditional dovetail joinery. Our process separates what we do, what we manage, and what we don’t, so every client knows exactly where our craftsmanship and coordination begin and end.

What We Can Self-Perform

  1. Fabricate and raise custom reclaimed log structures using historic hand-hewn dovetail logs with traditional joinery.

  2. Create design plans for reclaimed log elements that your architect or engineer can use to produce complete build plans.

  3. Provide pre-construction services to assemble the team, set the budget, and plan scope and schedule.

  4. Supply reclaimed materials for gable siding, roof decking, flooring, and other elements when included in scope.

  5. Build to a weatherproof exterior (Dry-In Service), which can include:

    • Chinking installation for a tight building envelope

    • Roof decking installation

    • Gable end siding installation (when included in scope)

    • Window and exterior door installation

    • Flashing, trim, and sealants required for a weather-tight structure


What We Can Manage

  1. Coordinate architects, engineers, and designers to produce full architectural and engineered plan sets.

  2. Oversee permitting, code compliance, and HOA approvals through the appropriate professionals.

  3. Manage subcontractors for excavation, foundation, framing, roofing, and other trades.

  4. Schedule and supervise mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors.

  5. Handle bid solicitation, procurement, budgeting, and progress tracking throughout the build.

  6. Act as the owner’s representative to ensure quality, communication, and alignment from start to finish.


What We Don’t Self-Perform

  1. Site work such as surveying, soils testing, tree clearing, grading, driveways, or utility trenching.

  2. Excavation, foundation, and concrete.

  3. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, or low-voltage systems.

  4. Full general contracting or assuming legal responsibility for all trades.

  5. Landscaping, hardscaping, gutters, septic or well systems, and final utility connections.
