Log Homes Are Nice
Have been our forte' for our career, and are inherently renewable. Concrete is not, but we admire those who manufacture and use concrete, as it is a necessity for all types of structural construction. Our homes compete well with other types of construction methods, but in the end it's up to the individual's own choice.

Concrete homes seem to be more efficient..
Take this with a grain of salt since it's on a cement association site but from this report it shows that ICF construction can reduce energy consumption for heating by approximately 44% and for cooling by 32% compared to wood-frame construction.
