What’s Unique About the EcoLog Concept ?
The secret of EcoLog homes lies in their simplicity and roots in pioneer construction techniques. The square timbers allow efficient production and construction and avoid many challenges faced by building with round logs. The resulting product is a traditional home, unpretentious and rustic, yet full of charm and appeal.

We finished construction of our show home in Central Saanich near Victoria, BC. This page provides a short overview of the construction process, and contains pictures of this first west coast EcoLog Home.

The EcoLog Advantage
EcoLog homes combine traditional construction and design techniques with modern applications, producing a home that will stand the test of time.
They represent a new style of log homes: EcoLog buildings are solid wood log homes, that differ from other log homes or timber frame structures in several ways:
- The solid walls are constructed from 8" square timbers, not round logs
- Square timbers are much easier to produce and work with... this makes EcoLog homes very affordable
- The "EcoLog Look" is derived from the combination of the alternating 2" insulation and 8" timbers, giving EcoLog buildings a very unique and attractive, natural appearance
- EcoLog home kits are available from Western Hemlock, Douglas Fir or Western Red Cedar. All our timbers are harvested from sustainable second growth forests on Vancouver Island.
