About Norse Log Homes
Norse Log Homes consists of experienced log home builders who specialize in high-quality, handcrafted custom log buildings. Whether you’re interested in a mountaintop log ski chalet, a log cabin on a secluded lake, a unique log office building, a log cabin resort development, or your own dream log home, we can build to suit your needs. Our builders have extensive design and construction experience. Our office and main construction yard are located just five minutes north of Nanaimo on beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The team at Norse Log Homes has been building log structures since 1975. We relocated to Vancouver Island in 1984 to be close to the world’s best supply of Douglas-fir house logs.
We use select west coast–grown Douglas-fir or western red cedar logs, with a mean mid-diameter of twelve inches and a fifteen-inch butt diameter. Our logs are hand-peeled using the traditional drawknife method, then scribe-fitted using notches and lateral groove construction. We are proud of our naturally handcrafted log homes—the quality of our homes far surpasses that of machined log home kits.
We operate two construction yards, equipped with three 82′ hammerhead cranes, across a total of six acres. Norse Log Homes can handcraft up to forty log homes per year. Your project will be constructed by our highly skilled craftsmen at one of our two Vancouver Island sites, then carefully numbered, disassembled, and loaded onto a truck or into a container for shipment to your prepared foundation anywhere in North America or around the world.
Norse Log Homes would be pleased to provide a quote for your log package based on your design sketches. Our log package costs typically start at $65.00 per square foot, depending on the size and complexity of your log work.
We also offer a complete custom design service that can turn your log home sketch into construction plans, starting at $2.50 per square foot. This cost is later deducted from your contract price if you decide to build with us.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information or for a log home quote—based on one of our plans or your own unique ideas.
