A:  Yes!  All of our cabins are custom made to your requirements- colors and layouts.  Put the bedroom on the left side, put the bathroom toward the front of the cabin, put the kitchen cabinets against the front wall, back wall, or end wall.  Your choice.  Visit Autodesk Homestyler to create a free design layout you can send to us for our quote.  Or, you can just hand draw what you’d like, showing dimensions and basic layout, and bring to us, mail to us, email to us, or fax to us at 267 345 2342.



Q:  What is post and beam construction?

A:  A construction framework where there is a use of timbers in both vertical and the horizontal position. The horizontal timbers are known as the beams and those that remain upright are the posts.   It is an ancient building technique, used for a few thousand years.   The buildings which have been constructed using this technique have remained substantial and solid even when hundreds of years have passed.   See http://www.postandbeamconstruction.org/



Q:  What is the Kentucky Industrialized Building Systems (KIBS) modular residence approval which these cabin models each have, and why is it important? 

A:   This approval is subject to a rigid application process and ongoing inspections during construction, ensuring that the model meets the current Kentucky-adopted building codes.  Full architectural drawings are required for submission in the application for each cabin model, and inspections are performed during construction by a certified third party inspection agency.  Currently, our cabins are the only cabins built in Kentucky with this rigorous approval.  For more info, please see http://dhbc.ky.gov/bce/mmh/Pages/default.aspx



Q.  Who is your typical cabin customer?

A.  Anyone who wants a beautiful handcrafted cabin at a reasonable price.  Some of our cabin customers use their cabin as weekend getaways or guest houses, but many of our customers live in their cabin full-time, as they enjoy the beauty of the cabin and the energy efficient hybrid design.



Q.  Where can you deliver the fully built “Deluxe” or “Basic Cabins”?

A.  We deliver the fully built cabins on a custom trailer which can place the cabins on a foundation or piers or pad.  It can deliver up to a 40′ long cabin.  Delivery includes required wide load permits and escort vehicles to meet state requirements during transport.  We can deliver them about anywhere, if the road is wide enough (15′ access) and no obstructions above  (15′ high with cabin on trailer).  Steep unpaved grades or loose gravel or dirt is possible for delivery, if buyer arranges and pays for local bulldozer standby during delivery.  With our standard 4WD delivery truck pulling the delivery trailer, mud is very bad, as is loose gravel, loose dirt, or any ruts in road.



Q.  Where can you deliver the cabin kits?

A.  We deliver the cabin kits on a standard flatbed trailer and can deliver across the USA and Canada.  Buyer is responsible for forklift rental to offload the kit upon delivery- it’s sizable and has heavy sections.  Steep unpaved grades or loose gravel or dirt is possible for delivery, if buyer arranges and pays for local bulldozer standby during delivery.  With our standard 4WD delivery truck pulling the delivery trailer, mud is very bad, as is loose gravel, loose dirt, or any ruts in road.

A.  We have Amish and non-Amish crews that can build custom onsite cabins in Kentucky and typically in adjoining states to Kentucky.  With that said, our master dealer has assembled a cabin kit onsite in New Mexico, so about any location is possible if reasonable travel charges are willing to be incurred- give us a call or email and let us know where you are and what you want.  We can deliver and combine 2 of our fully built cabins onsite in our “Olympic T” configuration, or we can quote and build from basic plans you provide to us.  Visit Autodesk Homestyler to create a free design layout you can send to us for our quote.  Or, you can just hand draw what you’d like, showing dimensions and basic layout, and bring to us, mail to us, email to us, or fax to us at 267 345 2342.
