While the housing market continues to be turbulent, one segment of the industry is weathering the storm: the log home niche.

Builders like the fact that log home consumers are typically qualified buyers who are looking to create their dream home.

Log home manufacturers are always looking for good builders to construct systems-built log homes. In fact, the industry often sees itself as having too few builders. A diversification into log homes could be a tremendous step for a builder to increase its presence in the housing market and survive the housing downturn.

Watch this video on the log home industry to see how you can convert your building business to log home construction by networking with the Log Homes Council of NAHB.
