About the Design Process
Rapid River
Rustic prides itself in the detail and quality of the designs that it
produces. With over 60 years of combined experience, our design staff
is sure to produce quality, detailed and International Residential Code
(IRC) compliant
blueprints. Lets review this process.
Preliminary plans
The first prints
you will receive will be the Preliminary Plans which consist of 1st
and 2nd floor plans along with all 4 exterior elevations.
These prints are a vital tool in obtaining firm, written quotes from
your builder and all other sub-contractors, obtaining all necessary
permits and approval from the zoning commission. It is important to
carefully review these plans to ensure that everything is the way you
envisioned it. If you are going to make any changes to the design, now
is the time. Mark any changes in a highly visible color and submit back
to our design staff for corrections or changes.
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later is
required to view.

Materials
list
Once the plans
are done, we calculate the quantities of all of the components necessary
to construct the home as sold and drawn. We will provide you and your
builder with copies of this materials list so that you can keep track of
what materials have been delivered and what materials need to be
delivered. The materials list is then handed to our mill foreman and
the manufacturing of your log home components begins.
