Building Log homes in New Zealand since 2013
CURRENT PROJECTS
Have a look at what we are currently working on.
DESIGN
If you are thinking about building a log home and already have a design in mind, pass them on and out drafts-men will be able to help you to make the subtle changes needed to convert your conventional plans in to a log home
WHY BUILD A LOG HOME
Logs are renewable, taken from certified plantations at 30-50 years old. Once in a home, they can last over 300 years. Log homes offer durability, sustainability, superior thermal performance, and natural aesthetics, enhancing well-being

Mat Rusher built scissor trusses for our home to an exacting standard, based on some photographs we showed him from an American Book called Rustic Elegance.
Jess and Jono Carr
Aspiring Log Homes were fantastic to work with. Matt is a true artist who took our vision and passionately created a masterpiece. We would use no one else for our next log project
Murray & Sharon Williams
From the outset Mat was very approachable & friendly. Easy to talk with, and listened intently to our plans & thoughts. After Mat invited us to see his own log home that he built, we could see the detail, care & passion he puts into his work. There was no doubt Aspiring Log Homes would be building our project.
