Southland Log Homes Launches Custom Cabin Floor Plan Design Tool

The builder of log homes and cabins launches a free online custom floor plan design tool that allows clients to modify standard designs to fit individual needs

Southland Log Homes has launched its new free design tool online. This application allows customers to choose one of the company’s popular standard designs and modify them to fit individual needs and preferences or to start from scratch and place every wall from the ground up. This tool was created to make it possible to design your log home and include all the elements that are important to you.

The tool offers a simple interface so prospective designers can start by setting the exterior and interior walls, then placing the windows and doors around the log cabin. The next step involves choosing the location for the stairs and fireplaces, if these are going to be part of your home, and then using the design tool to place furniture templates around the rooms. This, of course, is only to give designers the feel for how a room will look when it is completed. The final part of the design process is to pick the floor surfaces and colors. Once the designer has settled on the final layout, it can be submitted directly to Southland Log Homes for a free personalized quote.

The design tool lets users choose from a wide range of different structural components and other elements to create their dream home. This includes all the available doors and windows, with different window mechanisms or styles of door, as well as the different shapes and sizes of stairs to fit in almost any location in the home. The tool makes it possible for people who are not professional designers to create a high-quality floor plan.

The company has operations in many different locations across the country, and is able to deliver and build these customized log cabins according to the clients’ needs. By offering this application online, the company is working to make the entire process much easier.
