We provide all of the design, engineering, architecture, dealer services, and the materials for the structure, including lumber, architectural-quality posts & beams, siding, windows, exterior and interior trim, exterior and interior doors & hardware, stairs, railings, decks, and many other related materials. Everything is packed efficiently on flatbeds that are offloaded and trucked to your site (delivery is included).

Literally infinite! We offer the timeless Classic Lindals, and the modern Lindal Elements, and Lindal Architects Collaborative. Because of the Post & Beam design and efficient delivery system, the designs of our homes are not constrained by “road width” or structural limitations like pre-fab or modular homes. We can create walls of glass soaring into the sky and open floor plans that maximize living enjoyment. Our philosophy is based on a belief that the human spirit thrives in a highly personalized home that reflects the passions and priorities of the homeowner.

The design process takes as long as you need it to, but once the order is placed you can figure on about 3-4 months for Lindal to prepare the plans and deliver the materials on site. The construction phase has many variables, but will typically be 5-12 months depending on the weather, size, and complexity of the home.

If you don’t yet own land, we will help and guide you in making a smart purchase decision, including visiting the potential site with you. Once your land choice is made, we will review the particular characteristics of the land to suggest optimal designs, best locations and orientation for the home, and will review the local rules and regulations that will apply to your project. We believe that the design must respect the land and make the best use of it.

As part of our dealer services, we maintain a database of qualified contractors, and if none is available where you will build, we help research local contractors. If you have a contractor that you know or who has been recommended to you, we will interview him/her, go over the Lindal plans, and help ensure that they are capable. We review all bids with you and do our best to help you obtain the lowest price for quality work.

Yes! We think that is part of the fun – everything in your home will be an expression of you and your tastes.

Absolutely, Lindal is “Green from the Ground Up” in our efficient use and delivery of sustainable materials, smart placement of the home on the site, use of modern construction techniques, advanced HVAC technology and insulation methods, and if desired, alternative energy. Building your Lindal is an opportunity to create a highly energy-efficient home that will reward you with comfort, lower utility bills, and increased value.

Yes. Many Lindals with flat and low-pitched roofs have been built in cold locations throughout North America (and the world). Each home is specifically engineered for the local conditions, including snow load, so Lindal’s engineers take that into account when they determine the sizing of the posts and beams. And no roof is truly “flat”; the roof is framed flat, but Lindal provides a tapered insulation that allows water runoff while appearing “flat”.

The “Turnkey” cost of a Lindal home is the cost per square foot of living area for everything that goes into and under the home, including foundation, the Lindal Materials Package, construction, HVAC, fixtures, cabinets, countertops, appliances, etc. – we mean everything needed to build, power and finish a quality home with quality details, except for the cost of the land and preparing the site.

The Turnkey range for an average size (2500SF) nicely done home will be: Classic Lindal or Lindal Elements, upwards of $400+/SF. Pricing for other series such as the Imagine Series or Lindal Architect Collaborative can be provided upon request.

The range depends on the design (e.g. number of windows, siding/window types) and the finishing choices you make.

If you are building a Classic Lindal or Lindal Elements,  Atlantic Custom Homes offers free consultations.  The design services are a modest $1.50/SF which is entirely refundable when you order your Lindal Home.  For a Lindal Architects Collaborative home, there is a fee to make limited changes to the architect’s designs as shown in the Planbook.
