You have a site, but no planning permission.

All our log homes require planning permission. We can supply architectural drawings for a planning application from £495 + vat, refundable against the purchase of your log home.
Planning can often be a major obstacle. Determination and persistence are required at this stage.

Before spending money on drawings, it would be a good idea to approach your local planning officer with a printout from our website of a design you are interested in. They will be able to offer helpful advice about the viability of your application.

If the situation seems hopeless it may be worth considering employing the services of a planning consultant. These are often ex-planning officials or ex-planning committee councillors who know the system inside out and can often get access to decision makers that are not available to your average self builder. Their services are not cheap, but if they can get planning permission for a piece of land that otherwise would have been worthless, then worth every penny.

Success! Time to order your log house. A 20% deposit is payable at this stage, preferably by bank transfer as cheques can take ten days to clear. This will guarantee the price for six months which should be enough time to get a building warrant and engineers certificate and to get the foundations built. Architectural drawings for a building warrant application, SAP rating and structural engineers certificate are all included in the price of your log house.

The balance is now payable and we can start munufacturing the house which will be delivered to your site in approximately seven week's time. Happy building!
