What will the weather be like during your planned construction?

It is important to take into account the weather because this can drastically change circumstances to the amount of time spent on your log cabin. If the weather is bad it will delay the work on your log cabin and will, therefore, become more expensive due to possible damaged equipment, insurance, pay to workers, etc. I recommend looking ahead to your chosen dates and researching what the weather will be like.

How much man power do you need?

Time may be taken to find the man power to assist you in building your log cabin. Whether you search for friends to help or inquire for a construction company, taking time to search or being on a wait list of assistance can extend your timeline quite a bit. Be sure that the manpower you find is experienced and well trusted to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your new home.

How big is your build?

Something that will drastically determine the length of your timeline is the size of your build. Some prefer one floor wooden house and some may like luxury wooden villa.  As logical, smaller builds are more quick to build than larger builds. In the case of this article we are looking at medium builds. As stated before to build a medium sized cabin can take anywhere between twelve to fourteen weeks, this again depends on the size of the log cabin you are building. 

What tools and materials do you require? 

When considering your timeline it is important to think of the tools you may need to rent and the materials you need to acquire. It would be wise to call ahead to your local hardware store and see if they have tools and material in stock for you.

In some circumstances, they may not be, and you may need to find other means of acquiring what you need whether that be through a friend or by means of ordering from a different source and having the things you need delivered. Just as with cooking it is extremely important that you have everything you need for sure before you start anything.
