The following is a brief outline for regional
log and timber frame clients of what HearthStone
provides and what is provided by the client.
What HearthStone Provides
It is very important to know exactly what
is provided with a log, timber frame or
"Timber Trace" (Structural Panel) home package. HearthStone’s
basic package consists of timber frame or log
walls, rafters, beams, girders, porch timbers,
special slotted jambs, spline system, and
hardware. Essentially, this constitutes the log
or timber frame skeleton of the home. On some
models, conventional trusses replace log roof
systems.
What You Provide
 It is our customer’s responsibility to provide
foundations, stonework, sub-floor, and all
facets of the completion of the house beyond the
timber frame or log framework - i.e., heating and
electrical systems, cabinetry, floor covering,
plumbing, etc. There are no special foundation
requirements. They are the same as conventional
construction foundation specifications. In many
instances your HearthStone project manager can
offer contractor services, recommend contractors
or assist you in finding a contractor yourself.
Blueprints and Architectural Staff
Four full sets of working blueprints are
provided with each standard house sold. There is
an opportunity for one “mark up” set of plans –
before final prints are finalized. Purchasers of
custom homes receive a floor plan, foundation
plan and all elevations with a window schedule,
porches, patios and other necessary building
details. More extensive design work, electrical
plans, etc. can be provided to meet your needs.
Clients designing custom homes are urged to have
design work done primarily with their personal
architect in consultation with our architectural
staff, for the most satisfactory results. For
projects with existing full architectural plans
we will provide shop drawings for timber frame
and necessary structural interface for
foundation, sub-floor and tie-in to conventional
frame sections of the commercial or residential
project.
HearthStone Assembly Service
 HearthStone provides skilled crews for erecting
any of our homes. They erect the log or timber
frame skeleton of the home on an existing,
custom-installed foundation and sub floor. We
will provide erection service anywhere we sell a
home. The investment is modest compared to
value, when you consider that we supply a
trained, professional staff and erection crew.
Philosophy
Our philosophy for product and service delivery
is that we want to provide the services
necessary in the tricky or unconventional phases
of construction, and leave the standard,
conventional construction process to local
tradesmen. The result is a rewarding and
unmatched living environment for you and your
family.
