The Advantage Log Panel System

An Exclusive Construction Technique developed by Nicola LogWorks using Ballmer Systems Technology.

      
Work in Progress: Finishing our first Robot Cut Home in the United Kingdom

The advantage log panel system features all of the desirable characteristics of our hand crafted log joinery but allows us to more efficiently meet the rigorous standards and attain the quality levels that define our log and timber joinery at Nicola LogWorks.

Piece-en-Piece log home panels For customers whose tastes favour the vintage appeal of chinked dovetail log work, or appreciate the tradition of piece-en-piece log joinery this is good news!

Piece–en-piece log work is a very traditional style of log construction featuring a post and beam frame with log infill panels, but when built by hand, is out of the budget for most customers.

By cutting our log homes using “Abby the Log-Building Robot” (yes - we taught a Robot how to log build),we are able to attain extremely fine tolerances and achieve fits that finally meet our wildest hand-crafted dreams.

Design flexibility is one of the chief benefits of The Advantage Log Panel System meaning that those whose aesthetic preferences lean towards a more modern contemporary feel can also be served by The Advantage Log Panel System and our robotic assisted log building process.

The capabilities to adapt the look and feel of The Advantage Panel System using robot-assisted cutting cut buildings is diverse; and we can accommodate tastes ranging from ultra-rustic through to the minimalist feel and mood of modern contemporary design and just about everything in between).

We’d love to show you how The Advantage Log Panel System can help you realize your log home dreams – so give us a call at 250 378 4977 or send us an email.

All of our Advantage Panel System Buildings are built using large diameter natural logs (14”-20” diameter) and feature triple air sealing at all joinery connections.

Benefits of Robot-Assisted Log Building include un-precedented precision assuring air tight fits.
Joinery tolerances and hand-crafted details that meet or exceed the highest of hand-crafted log building industry standards.
Predictable: Advantage System Built allows for quicker and more efficient production and a more affordable log or timber home.

Testimonials

Mohawk College Reference

Nicola Log Works has the ability to source and custom fabricate the materials required for the installation and the ship these components several thousand miles across the country where Nicola crew efficiently erected the structure. In the future I hope to be fortunate enough to work with Nicola Log Works and John Boys and I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola’s service to any one requiring wood or log structure work.

I was impressed at how well organized the erection crew from Nicola Logworks was. Despite poor weather conditions (rain, snow, and wind),the erection went smoothly.
