Our Story
Founded by master craftsman Ionut in 1998, Carelian Log Buildings was born from a passion for bringing authentic Finnish log building expertise to the UK market. Having trained with master builders in Finland and Romania, Ionut recognized the growing demand for sustainable, high-quality log homes in Britain.
What started as a small operation has grown into one of the UK's most respected log building companies, with over 500 successful projects completed across England, Scotland, and Wales. Our team of skilled craftsmen combines traditional techniques with modern innovation to create homes that are both beautiful and built to last.
"Every log we place, every joint we craft, represents our commitment to excellence and our respect for the natural materials we work with. We don't just build houses; we create homes that will shelter families for generations."
