The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. Typically, a standard log home takes 3-4 months to manufacture and 2-3 months to assemble on-site. This includes foundation preparation, log assembly, roofing, and interior finishing. Planning permission and design phases can add 2-3 months to the overall timeline.

Yes! Modern log buildings are exceptionally energy efficient. The natural thermal mass of wood provides excellent insulation, keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. Our logs are kiln-dried to optimal moisture content and precision-engineered for tight seals. Combined with modern double or triple glazing and proper roof insulation, our log buildings often exceed current building regulations for energy efficiency.

Yes, we provide comprehensive support throughout the planning permission process. Our team has extensive experience working with local planning authorities across the UK. We prepare detailed architectural drawings, design and access statements, and handle all necessary documentation. We also assist with building regulations approval and can advise on permitted development rights where applicable.

Log buildings are surprisingly low-maintenance when properly constructed. The exterior requires treatment with a quality wood preservative every 3-5 years, depending on weather exposure. We use premium Nordic timber that's naturally resistant to rot and insects. Regular inspections of the roof, foundations, and any settling are recommended in the first year. Interior maintenance is similar to any traditional home.

Our comprehensive quotes include: complete log kit with all structural timbers, roof structure, doors and windows (double glazed), complete weatherproofing system, detailed assembly drawings, and on-site technical support. Foundation work, internal finishing, plumbing, and electrical installations can be included as optional extras or arranged with your local contractors.

Absolutely! Our log buildings meet all UK building regulations and are fully mortgageable through most major lenders. We provide all necessary certification and structural warranties. For insurance, log homes are treated as standard properties by most insurers. We can recommend specialist insurers who understand log construction and often offer competitive rates.

We use premium slow-grown Nordic pine and spruce from sustainably managed forests in Finland and Northern Sweden. These trees grow slowly in cold climates, creating dense wood with tight growth rings - perfect for log construction. All our timber is FSC certified, kiln-dried to 18-20% moisture content, and treated with eco-friendly preservatives. This ensures dimensional stability and longevity.
