Big Foot Manufacturing Inc. Joins Log Homes Council

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Our parents admonished us to choose our friends wisely because we would be judged by the company we keep. This still holds true today. This is why Big Foot Manufacturing Inc. has joined an exclusive association of the most prestigious log home manufacturers in North America.

The Log Homes Council, part of the National Association of Home Builders, is an association of the most reputable log home companies in the United States, Canada and beyond. Stringent membership requirements protect consumers during the buying and building process.

“When you work hard to achieve excellence, you naturally want to be associated with others that have the same high standards. That’s why we joined the Log Homes Council,” says Wayne Brown, senior vice president of operations and sales at Big Foot Manufacturing Inc. Log and Timber Homes. “In more than 20 years of business our company has helped more than 4,000 families realize the dream of log and timber homeownership. Our high standards for quality and service have been well received in the market place, as well as meeting the membership requirements of the Log Homes Council.”

As a further testament to the company’s commitment to continuous improvement, Big Foot Manufacturing is ISO 9001 (quality standards) and 14000 (environmental standards) certified. “This speaks a lot to our attention to high standards and quality assurance,” says Wayne Brown.

While hundreds of companies offer log and timber homes, less than 60 companies worldwide qualify for membership in the council. “Our membership requirements ensure peace of mind for consumers when they are making their dream home a reality,” says Jim Murphy, chairman of the Log Homes Council and a log home manufacturer from Mauston, WI. “Council members not only contribute to scientific studies that advance log building technologies, they also abide by a strict code of ethics, grade their logs and timbers to ensure quality materials, provide construction manuals to ensure homes are built correctly and provide free information to consumers.”
