Heartbilt produces custom and pre-engineered packages.

Custom packages involve working together with Jim and Ellen McRell and our staff of draftsmen to develop your ideas into a log home that meets your needs and budget.  Most of our customers come to us with a hand drawn plan, or other plan that we use as a starting point to develop a log home to meet their specifications.
