  • Precision Scanning and Cutting: Logs are scanned and cut with robotic accuracy to 1mm. This unparalleled precision ensures that every panel fits perfectly, reducing the need for on-site adjustments and speeding up the construction process.
  • Perfect Fit: The meticulous accuracy of our process ensures a seamless fit for every component, enhancing structural integrity and visual appeal. Our ability to maintain this level of accuracy round the clock means your project progresses swiftly, without compromising on quality.

The Result- Seamless Assembly and Energy Efficiency

 The precision of our Eze-Panel System results in a seamless assembly process, reducing construction time and labor costs. The tight fit of each component significantly enhances the energy efficiency of our log homes, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective living environment. 

The Difference

Tradition Meets High-Tech

 For centuries, log homes have symbolized traditional craftsmanship, standing the test of time. However, the methods of building these homes remained unchanged for years, relying on techniques that, while time-honored, had limitations in efficiency and environmental impact. 

Challenges of Traditional Methods

 The classic hand-scribed method, known for its tight log fit, demanded immense skill and labor hours. Chainsaws brought some advancements but came with their own set of challenges - fuel emissions, the need for extensive training and safety equipment, and the risk of worker fatigue leading to reduced quality or injury. These factors contributed significantly to the overall cost and environmental footprint of traditional log home building.

Our Revolutionary Process

 At Auto Craft Log Homes, we've transformed these challenges into opportunities for innovation. Our patented process, leveraging 3D scanners and 7-axis CNC robots, has significantly reduced dangers, time, costs, and emissions associated with log home building. This high-tech approach enhances efficiency, quality, and consistency, accelerating production without compromising on craftsmanship. 

Modular Design: A New Era in Log Homes

 Embracing a piece-on-piece assembly, we offer a modular design approach. This enables full customization of cabins using standard walls and components we've pre-designed. Such a modular system not only streamlines production but also substantially reduces the cost of log homes, making them more accessible without sacrificing quality. 

The Auto-Craft Log Home Advantage

 Our process is a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability in log home building. By marrying traditional aesthetics with modern technology, we ensure each log home we create is not just a structure but a sustainable, efficient, and beautifully crafted piece of art. Our team is made up of experienced builders, architects, and designers who are passionate about creating homes that exceed our clients' expectations. Each member of our team brings a unique set of skills and expertise to every project.

Our Process

We believe that communication is key to a successful home building experience. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their vision becomes a reality. We use only the highest quality materials and construction techniques to ensure that our homes are built to last.

 

Traditional Methods

 

  • A diverse array of stunning aesthetic building options become limited.
  • Design flexibility options such as multiple elevations and multiple corners become challenging due to right-angle limitations and log extensions.
  • Access to natural lighting becomes limited (not conducive to placing windows near corners and installing corner windows).
  • Log extensions are vulnerable to the weather while constraining the deck design and flow with outdoor living areas.

 

The EzePanel Approach

Precision Pre-Built panels are extremely adaptable to creative design: diverse Angles, multiple corners, unrestricted glazing and multiple elevations become possible when creating your log home with Eze-Panels. 

Traditional Methods


  • Skilled and trained labourers who consistently deliver high-quality craftsmanship are hard to find.
  • Building requires a labour-intensive process to achieve the quality levels and tolerances needed to make your log home last.
  • Traditional methods require costly long logs that are increasingly difficult to source.

 

The EzePanel Approach

 

  • Our advanced robots work day and night at an unparalleled level of consistency.
  • We effortlessly achieve the quality levels that our craftsmen demand and exceed the fine tolerances of a well-crafted log home.
  • We primarily use shorter logs that cost less and are easier to find.


Traditional Methods

 

 When crafting traditional log homes, labourers must take into consideration the time-consuming process of settling from 5" and up to 10" depending on the moisture content of the logs, the log species and the roof load of the finished structure. 


The EzePanel Approach


 The Eze-Panels is a non-settling system which allows your contractor to finish your home in a fraction of the time without the expertise required to complete a scribed or settling log structure successfully. 


Traditional Methods

 

approx. 20% of finishing costs in a traditionally built log home are associated with the settling process of logs:

  • Doors and windows
  • Roofing
  • Screw-jacks
  • Kitchen cabinets
  • Interior walls
  • Plumbing
  • Wiring


The EzePanel Approach


The non-settling Eze-panels provide a more cost-efficient, faster way to finish your log home, allowing you to install design specifications in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods saving you funds for above expenses.


 Traditional Methods


  • Screw Jack adjustments.
  • Re-staining when neccessary.
  • Caulk or chink where necessary.
  • Multiple adust trim-boards over doors and windows and interior walls once building has settled.


The EzePanel Approach


 Your bespoke log home only needs re-staining when necessary and minimal chink-line touch-ups if/where necessary, so you can spend less time worrying about maintenance and more time enjoying your beautiful rustic ambience. 


 Traditional Methods


Enjoy living in a beautiful, well-crafted structure featuring large-diameter natural logs with all of the character, beauty and appeal of a well-built hand-crafted log home. 


The EzePanel Approach

 

Feel instantly at home in a beautiful, well-crafted structure featuring large-diameter natural logs with all of the character, beauty and appeal of a well-built hand-crafted log home only faster, easier and more cost-effective!
