Legendary Group beginning’s started in 1993 as Legendary Logcrafter’s, a company that initially manufactured high end handcrafted log homes, which were sold and delivered throughout Canada and United States. The founder of Legendary Group, Milan Smeh, graduated from the civil engineering program at the University of Western Ontario. He had always been interested in all forms of construction, but was particularly interested in prefabrication. In the late 90’s he designed a unique prefabricated structural roof panel system that paired well with log homes. This combination became a huge success and made their product stand out from the competition. This created a large demand for the product that stretched from Florida to California.
At the end of 2008, when North America was hit by the housing crisis, the high-end residential market was the first to be affected. Log home sales plummeted throughout the continent and Milan realized he needed to offer a product that was more desirable to most home buyers. In 2009, the current Hybrid Building System was developed. The system consisted of conventional 2×6 wall construction (clad in the owners choice of finish and color), structural timber components for the floor and roof system, and enclosed with the previously designed roof panels. The new prefabricated package could be installed in a couple of days.
These homes were well designed, and well-priced homes that appealed to a much broader market, and were an instant success. Over the years new plans were added to keep up with current market trends, and a decade later Legendary Group is still the only prefabricated company that installs the windows and siding at the factory level, and provides a completely finished, insulated and vented roof panel. Today there are many more prefabricated home options, however Legendary Group still remains to be one of the most premiere options in prefabricated homes for those customers who are looking for a higher quality custom home.
