One square meter (1m2 = 10,7 sq. feet) of floor space costs between 160-550 EUR. The price is influenced by the type of logs and other materials used, the location of the building etc.
Log houses are usually cheaper then similar size stone houses or wooden frame/stone lining houses.
We use pine, but can also use spruce if a client so desires.
Yes. This is one of our key assets. We will always find the best solution for every client. You can send your log home plans to us and we send you the price estimate.
There is no substantial cost cut since personalized plans do not add a significant price to the log home manufacturing process.
Wood is the best insulation material nature has to offer. That does not mean that just by increasing the thickness of the walls you will have the most energy efficient house. Like with every other type of house you have to consider the insulation norms for floors, ceilings and roof, use the right kind of doors and windows, etc. When you add a knowledgeable builder to that you will have a very energy-friendly house. Check the NBS test on log home energy conserving .
A log house does need some care from the new owner, i.e. adjusting metallic tie rods and metallic regulating rods. The work needed is nothing major and the company on the completion of the house provides detailed care instructions.
Yes, you can! But be sure to consider all the positive and negative aspects before you make your decision.
The building costs are directly related to the amount of work needed and to the location of the new house. When doing primary calculations, you should consider the costs to be around 30% (+-5%) of the price of the house.
Depending on the profile of the logs used, for every meter of height the settlement is about 3-4%. The settlement is already taken into notice during the design process.
No, all traditional solutions work fine with log houses.
The type of foundation needed has more to do with the properties of the soil and ground on the building site and the size of the house. You can use any type of foundation (pier foundation, strip foundation, base slab).
Yes we do.
Yes, all of our logs have been chamber dried.
No, the length of the logs does not dictate the size of the house and individual rooms.
For the outer logs we recommend a special certified wood sealant Aidol HK-Lasur. This protects the wood from insects, blue stains and mould. For the inside of the house we suggest you use as natural products as possible (linseed oil, beeswax, etc).
No. The really nice thing about log houses is that they can be built anytime.
No! The house has it’s own price and the cost of the transportation is settled with every client separately.
The site has to have access roads for heavy trucks, the foundation should be ready and the ground smoothed.
