Professional Services


Planning applications – In most situations planning for a small log cabin is not required.
The rules governing necessary planning changes on a constant basis, normally you should not have a problem with building a Log Cabin as long as the ridge height is less than 4 meters. We recommend that you contact your local planning authority (call your local town hall and ask for the planning department) and ask them if your Log Cabin would be a permitted build on your land. 

As a guideline a new building must not exceed 10% of the size of the main residence on the property. In addition, the Log Cabin cannot have a ridge height taller than 4 meters (ca. 13 feet). Consult your local planning office if uncertain.

In some cases, if for example you are building a second home or large Log Cabin on your property, a planning application will have to be submitted and approved by your local council. We can submit a planning application for you and give this our best attention in order to achieve a successful result. 

Design and architectural services – We can produce a log cabin or house to your specification. If you have a specific idea of what you are looking for then we can produce drawings for this. 

Complete or partial builds – We offer a complete building package that meets all national building codes and a complete range of services including conceptual design, engineering plans, interior space planning and design, as well as complete builds or job site assistance for you or your contractor. We can also supply interior finishes such as floor coverings, cabinets, electrical, and plumbing, including full installation. 

Please contact us to discuss your requirement.
