Nicola LogWorks is a Custom Log Home Builder in the Nicola Valley (Merritt BC)
Building to the highest standards and quality levels of the custom log home building industry is important to us at Nicola Logworks. Helping our customers and their design-build team understand the unique characteristics of log home joinery and the organic features of wood saves both time and money during construction by ensuring that the project will be completed to the quality levels that our customers expect. To that end we like to be included in the early design and planning stages of a project – whether it is a residential log and timber home or commercial project featuring Cross Laminated Timbers (CLT) or glulam.
New at nicola LogWorks! robot-assisted log-building - A Game Changer for Our Customers
In 2017, we finally began to realize a long-held dream of making our log homes more accessible. Our goal was to offer system-built log homes that retained all of the characteristics of our hand-crafted log structures without sacrificing the organic appeal of large natural logs and with joinery tolerances that meet or exceeded our handcrafted standards.
Our dream was made possible by software engineer Dusko Ballmer of Ballmer Systems Inc. who coincidentally shared our goal of more affordable log homes and had developed a unique robotic system with proprietary software programming.
This is a game changer for our customers. This panelized, modular construction method is quicker to assemble on the customers’ site and is particularly well suited to remote and difficult to access properties. Robot Assisted Log Construction features Piece-en-Piece joinery and is available in both scribed and chinked system styles and can also be implimented to cut post & beam log work and spiral stairs.
