Q. Are your homes energy efficient?

A. Yes. Log homes are among the most energy efficient forms of construction. The thermal capacitance of log materials does not allow for the easy transfer of heat from one side of the log wall to the other. This means that your home is warmer in the winter, but also cooler in the summer.

Q. Are cabins suitable for extreme heat or extreme cold?

A. Log cabins are built in some of the harshest environments in the world. They are able to withstand extremes in heat with ease.

Q. How do you install plumbing in a log home?

Q. How much does a log home cost?

A. The cost of a home is based upon the size and complexity of the design. It is also based upon the materials used. A simple building is quick to build and is easier, therefore you would expect to pay less than if it was a complex design. To obtain an estimate or a quote please contact us with your plans and we can discuss the pricing further. As a rough guide we estimate our prices as follows: For rolled or milled timber homes, £35.00 per sq. ft. for self build, and £50.00 per sq. ft. for supply and erection. For timber framed with cladding buildings, £25.00 per sq. ft. self build or £40.00 per sq. ft. for supply and erection. These prices are for estimating only and the final price depends upon your final design and amount of homes being built. Included in our prices is all taxes and duties, shipping etc.
