9 Steps
to owning your
OASIS LOG CABIN or HOME
Step 1 - Locate Building Site
A large portion of our Log Cabin projects are built on recreational property. When choosing a parcel check, the minimum square foot size required by the township/ county
especially if the cabin is to be used as the primary residence. Also keep in mind items such as tree clearing, availability of utilities such as electric and gas. Your land will need certain site improvements before the cabin can be built, such as a well, septic system and a suitable foundation. If you are interested in a particular area in Michigan, please let us know. We can help you find property in the areas you are looking for.
Step 2 - Select your Floor Plan
We have several floor plans to choose from and
we can even custom design a floor plan for your specific needs. Our Log Home specialists can help you with floor plan choices while keeping your budget in mind. In addition to the
floor plan, you will need to choose between the different options available such as log profile styles, roof colors, corner styles, window types and interior finishes available. Our specialists will explain the entire construction process and
answer any additional questions you may have.
Step 3 - Explore Finance Options
Our
long standing relationships with the nation's most experienced lending
lending institutions has given Oasis Homes the competitive advantage in making your dream home
possible. Our loan professionals will answer all of your questions and help you make an educated
decision when choosing a loan program best suited to your financial situation.
Step 4 - Order your Cabin
Finalize
the plans and complete the order. The delivery of your cabin in now 4-6 weeks
away, during
this time the property can be prepared (site improvements) so that when the cabin materials are delivered the
construction can begin.
Step 5 - Install the Foundation
and Site
Improvements
Each township
and county will vary on the requirements, but typically a crawl space foundation will have a frost footing that reaches a depth of 42 inches below finished grade. A well and a septic system may also be required and will need to be installed prior to completion of the project. We can provide these services for most projects
within 200 miles of our office in Almont, MI. Projects beyond this
geographic range may require coordination with a local General Contractor.
Step 6 - Take Delivery of your Cabin
The
log cabin package will be delivered to your site. One of our
representatives will be present to ensure the materials are properly
placed and that everything is accounted for.
Step 7 - Building your Log Cabin
If
you have elected for us to assemble your cabin, you can sit back and watch.
If you are the do-it-yourselfer you will need building experience
and additional manpower to help construct the cabin.
Step 8 - Finishes
Some
cabins are completely finished immediately after the Weather tight package
is constructed, others are
completed over time. Items such as electric, plumbing, drywall on interior walls, cabinets and
floor coverings can be done in stages once the structure has been closed in from the weather.
Step 9 - Move In and Enjoy
Fire up
the woodstove and bring the toys. Our cabins will provide enjoyment for generations to come.
Fond memories of the outdoors, the ambiance, and the unmistakeable pine scent
of your cabin will be remembered forever.
