Pan Abode Cedar Homes offers an abundance of plans & images in our catalog called “The Custom Home Guide ” and includes The DVD Companion. It offers unique designs which include architectural styles such as chalets, ramblers, ranch homes, contemporary homes, and many type of prow configurations. The Custom Home Guide provokes thought and motivates the designer in all of us.

Since 1952, Pan Abode Cedar Homes has been bringing dream homes to life with innovative designs, cutting edge engineering, and three distinctly different Building Systems featuring Western Red Cedar.

With thousands of homes built, Pan Abode Cedar Homes sells worldwide, either through dealers, or direct to customers in non-dealer areas.

Our building packages are perfect for individuals desiring to control the cost of their custom home, or an owner/builder wishing to act as his own general contractor. Pan Abode will provide all materials required to build your custom building that we design for you.

Pan Abode's experienced design staff will work directly with you to turn your sketches and ideas into the home or building of your dreams.

Pan Abode's custom design service will provide you with professional assistance in designing your home to meet your specific criteria, including:

• Melding your space and room requirements into a concept that allows an efficient and cost effective traffic flow
• Developing a building plan that fits your life style, as well as your budget
• Creating a building plan that offers the best utilization of your site space, views, drainage conditions, locations of utilities, your environment, and specific zoning rules, setbacks, height restrictions, etc.

No matter what the size, specification or style, the common denominator of every Pan Abode home is superior design ideas, manufacturing craftsmanship, personal service, and product quality. We have an industry-wide reputation for offering the best value — in materials, construction, service, and every detail in between.

Pan Abode quality starts with fine grain, appearance-select, tight-knot Western Red Cedar. Skilled Danish craftsmanship and modern engineering technology turn this fine wood into the sort of home a fine-furniture maker would build.

Our building systems and company philosophy allow you unlimited choices in materials and design. Not only do we custom design your home or building, but we act as your personal consultant in selecting materials that fit your desires ,and budget.

Each Pan Abode home, whether a standard plan or a totally unique custom plan, is individually manufactured at the time it is ordered. There are no "off the shelf" components and the materials for each home are specifically ordered to match your plans from our many suppliers or selected from our stock of cedar materials. Your wall timbers and/or cedar siding is precision milled so that every single piece is perfectly matched and easily assembled.

The materials for your Pan Abode home are carefully hand loaded into containers or onto trucks for transporting to your building site. All fragile or easily marred items are packaged for their protection and labeled. Your glue-laminated beams are individually sanded, wrapped, and identified as to location of use. All construction parts are identified for ease of construction. You will receive copies of the working drawings, and a complete step-by-step construction guide. We'll even ship the materials in more that one load if your construction schedule requires.
