Do
I need planning permission?
|
No,
not on the smaller building. Yes, on
houses. As a rule, you can build with
a certificate of lawfulness if
the building is: 5m from a dwelling,
less than 4m high, does not take up more
than 50% of the area of your plot including
your house.
|
 |
Will
it last?
|
There
are buildings in Finland more than 200
years old, but using Northern grown Redwood/Nordic pine is most important.
|
|
What
thickness log do I need?
|
45mm
flat log is OK for summer use, we can
install an insulated roof with the 45mm
building, this will be OK in all but
the most windy of days. Our most popular
log is 70mm solid for home offices, workshops
etc, but we can build in round log up to 350mm or solid log to 130mm or laminated log to 210mm.

What
do I do now?
|
You
can first request our complete log building
guide and then phone the office, to discuss
your requirements we can then price your
building. On smaller buildings i.e. Summer
houses or workshops we can price in a
few days. On larger non standard chalets,
pool enclosures and houses, plans have
to be drawn and prices obtained so may
take longer.
|
|
Can
I live in a log building?
|
Most
definitely Yes. The Finnish won't live
anywhere else.
