Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is a Lindal Cedar Home a kit home?

A: When you purchase a Lindal Cedar Home, you are buying a complete home building materials package, not just a kit. This package is customized to fit your needs, your site and your budget. After all, it is not a wood pile, it is a lifestyle.

Q: Are your homes prefab (prefabricated)?

A: Our homes are custom designed and crafted around a building system incorporating post and beam construction technology. We further detail the plans and high quality materials with a part numbering system, where every piece of timber has a place. So, our system differs from true prefab. But our system provides a flexible and accurate approach to building a custom home not found at your local custom builder or in the prefab market.

Q: What is the difference between post and beam and conventional construction?

A: Lindal post and beam construction is designed to carry all of the weight of the home on the post and beam structure, limiting the weight on perimeter walls and interior partitions. This allows large open spaces and rooms to be modified more easily. Conventional construction bears weight on interior and perimeter walls making modifications more difficult.

Q: How many Lindal Homes have been constructed?

A: Over 50,000 Lindal homes have been built around the world.

Q: Is Lindal environmentally conscious?

A: Lindal homes are widely recognized for their relationship to the natural environment, but our commitment goes far beyond capturing breathtaking panoramic views. The goal for us, is to do everything possible to preserve the world that our homes celebrate. Sustainability and environmental stewardship is reflected in everything we do—from design to materials, site selection, building techniques, and beyond. If it’s green prefab homes you’re seeking, Lindal is your ideal partner.

For over twenty years, Lindal Cedar Homes has worked with American Forests Global ReLeaf program to plant trees to replace those harvested for our homes. Lindal has led green home building efforts in the use of energy efficient windows and detailing, in the use of engineered wood and other sustainable materials. The company has been recognized by local and national news outlets, was the first to be Green Approved by the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center and the only single family home selected for TIME Magazine’s Green Design 100. Lindal’s dealers have received special training to become Certified Green Professionals, and today many Lindal owners choose to build off the grid or seek green certification for their homes.
