It’s January 2026. The UK log cabin industry is worth over £350 million annually — a staggering figure that would have seemed impossible when we first opened our workshop doors in 2003. Back then, “log cabin” was a niche term whispered among garden enthusiasts and DIY hobbyists. Few understood what it meant to build a *real* log cabin — one that could withstand decades of British weather, settle naturally without warping, and remain structurally sound, thermally efficient, and aesthetically timeless.

The quiet cabin companies secrets!

We didn’t just enter the market in 2003 — **we created it**.(Log Cabins For Sale)

Not through marketing gimmicks or inflated claims, but through relentless craftsmanship, engineering rigour, and an uncompromising refusal to cut corners. Over the past 23 years, FactoryCabins.com has not only pioneered the modern UK log cabin sector — we’ve also been its conscience. We’ve trained, mentored, and launched countless competitors — only to part ways with most of them when they chose profit over principle. Yes, we’ve *sacked* dealers, distributors, and even former partners — not out of spite, but because integrity cannot be negotiated.

This blog isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a manifesto. A warning. A guide. And above all — a plea to consumers: *Do not let the noise drown out the truth.*

Because today, more than ever, the log cabin market is flooded with imitation, deception, and dangerously substandard products masquerading as “premium.” And yet — amid the chaos — there remains a handful of manufacturers who still believe that a log cabin should be built to last longer than the owner’s mortgage.

We are one of them.

Let us take you on a journey — through history, engineering, ethics, and the quiet revolution we’ve waged behind the scenes for over 2 and a bit decades.

Part I: The Birth of an Industry — How FactoryCabins.com Built the UK Log Cabin Market (2003–2026)

In 2003, the UK had no dedicated log cabin manufacturers. There were timber framers, garden shed builders, and a few Scandinavian importers — but no one designing, engineering, and manufacturing log cabins *for the British climate*, using British standards, and respecting the physics of solid timber construction. One Cabin was the Clock House, our design.

We started small: a single workshop in rural Lithuania , with two carpenters, hand engineered notching machine, and a dream. Our first cabin? A 3m x 3m garden store — tongue-and-groove spruce, 44mm logs, fairly good notches, and a roof designed to shed rain *and* snow. It wasn’t glamorous. But it stood firm through 6 winters, zero rot, zero warping.

What set us apart from day one was our obsession with *movement*. Logs move. They shrink. They twist. They settle. Any builder who ignores this is building a time bomb.

So, we developed our proprietary **Dynamic Log System** — not a marketing slogan, but a structural philosophy:

**Moisture content control**: All timber dried to 16–18% MC before assembly — never air-dried on-site.

**Log profiling**: Precision-machined interlocking notches that allow vertical settlement *without* compromising wall integrity.

Within two years, we had 17 dealers across England and Wales.Scotland Not franchises — true partners. We trained them. We shared our CAD designs. We gave them access to our quality control protocols. We believed in collaboration.

Then came the first betrayal.

A dealer in Essex began selling our 5m x 4m “ DF 24” cabin — identical in spec — at **140% above our factory price**, claiming it was “exclusive” and “hand-finished in the UK.” When customers complained about warped doors and UVPC windows (more on that later), he blamed *us*. We investigated. Found his warehouse full of rebranded stock from a bulk supplier in Europe — same dimensions, same drawings, but with inferior timber, no kiln drying, and plastic windows bolted in with screws instead of proper joinery.

We terminated the relationship. Publicly. With evidence.

That was the first of many.

By 2011, we had directly trained or supplied over 40 companies now operating in the UK log cabin space. Many went on to become household names. Some still exist — though few retain the original ethos. Most? They pivoted to volume. To speed. To margin. And in doing so, they sacrificed the very thing that made log cabins viable in the first place: *quality*.We wanted to at the very beginning, manufacture a building that was better than a box standard shed, these companies have done the opposite, they have reduced the cabin to below a shed, and charge 3x its value.

We didn’t stop innovating. In 2013, we introduced the UK’s first **twin-skin log cabin** — 70mm outer log + 70mm inner log, with insulated cavity. It was ridiculed as “over-engineered.” Today, it’s the gold standard — and copied relentlessly.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth no one wants to admit:

**The UK log cabin industry grew not because of better products — but because of better marketing.**

And that’s where the rot began.

Part II: The Great Dilution — How “Premium” Became a Lie (2015–2026)

Between 2015 and 2026, the UK log cabin market exploded. Online retail boomed. Amazon entered. eBay sellers appeared overnight. Suddenly, anyone with a forklift and a website could call themselves a “log cabin manufacturer.”

We watched — horrified — as standards collapsed.

The UVPC Scandal: Why Plastic Windows Have No Place on Log Cabins

Let me be unequivocal:

**UVPC (uPVC) windows and doors do NOT belong on log cabins.**

Here’s why — and this is physics, not opinion:

Log cabins settle vertically by 3–8% over the first 12–18 months (depending on log thickness and moisture content).

uPVC frames are rigid. They do not flex. They do not accommodate movement.

When the log wall shrinks *around* a rigid uPVC frame, stress concentrates at the corners → cracks form → seals fail → water ingress → rot begins.

Within 2–3 years, 70% of uPVC-fitted cabins show visible gaps, fogged double glazing, or jammed sashes.

We tested this ourselves — in our own lab, with accelerated settling rigs. We fitted identical cabins with:

Option A: High-quality joinery-glulam timber windows (our standard)

Option B: uPVC windows (industry “budget” spec)

After 18 months of simulated settlement:

Option A: Minor adjustment needed. Seals intact. Operation smooth.

Option B: 3 out of 4 windows cracked at the top corner. One door refused to close. Condensation inside glazing units.

Yet today — walk into any major retailer’s showroom, or scroll through their website — and you’ll see “Premium Log Cabin” advertised with *uPVC windows*, *uPVC doors*, *uPVC cladding*. They call it “low maintenance.” It’s not low maintenance — it’s *low integrity*.

We use only **joinery-grade glulam timber** for our window and door frames. Why?

– Glulam (glued laminated timber) is engineered to resist twisting and warping — critical when logs move.

– It expands and contracts *with* the cabin structure.

– It accepts traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery — far stronger than screw-fixed uPVC.

– It can be repaired, refinished, and lasts decades — unlike uPVC, which becomes brittle and yellowed in UV exposure.

The 200% Mark-Up Mirage

Let’s talk money — because this is where the deception becomes criminal.

In 2014, we audited 12 leading UK log cabin retailers. We purchased identical 5m x 4m cabins (same log thickness, same floor specs, same roof pitch) from each — using fake buyer profiles to avoid special pricing.

Results?

| Manufacturer | Factory Cost (to us) | Retail Price | Mark-up |

|—————————–|———————-|————————|———|

| FactoryCabins.com | £6,850                | £8,995      | ~31% |

| Competitor A           | £6,850 | £14,200 | **107%** |

| Competitor B           | £6,850                 | £18,500    | **170%** |

| Competitor C          | £6,850                   I £20,100     | **194%** |

Yes — nearly **200% markup** on *identical product*.

And what did those customers receive?

– Same 44mm spruce logs (not upgraded to 68mm or 70mm)

– Same 18mm OSB flooring (not 28mm T&G pine)

– Same 16mm roof boards (not 19mm)

– Same basic hardware (not German-made)

No innovation. No improvement. Just higher prices — justified by slogans like “Luxury Edition,” “Designer Range,” or “Handcrafted Excellence.”

Meanwhile, our warranty? **20 years** — conditional on basic maintenance (clean gutters, keep foundation dry, re-treat external timber every 3 years). Not 10 years. *20.* Because if you treat a log cabin like a house — it will last like one.

Most others offer 10-year warranties — knowing full well that by year 11, the cabin will likely be leaking, warping, or suffering condensation damage due to poor design. Windows and Doors falling apart, It’s not a warranty — it’s a *time-limited liability cap*.

We’ve seen it too many times: A customer calls us in Year 8, frustrated because their “premium” cabin is rotting at the base. We help as much as we can, its normally windows and doors, or the bottom logs have rotted away. Windows and doors we can help  with, but rotten logs , impossible, sadly.

That’s not business. That’s ethics.

Part III: The Anatomy of a Real Log Cabin — What You’re *Not* Being Told

When you browse log cabin websites, you’re drowning in glossy images, 3D renders, and five-star reviews (many of which are incentivised or fake). But the real story lies in the details — the ones hidden in tiny footnotes or omitted entirely.

Let’s dissect what makes a *true* quality cabin:

1. Timber Specification — It’s Not Just “Spruce”

**Species**: Norwegian Spruce (Picea abies) is ideal — straight grain, low resin, stable. Avoid “mixed softwood” or “Eurasian timber” — vague terms hiding inferior species.

**Moisture Content**: Must be 16–18% *at time of assembly*. Air-dried timber (20–25% MC) will shrink excessively post-installation — causing gaps, leaks, and joint failure.

**Kiln Drying**: Non-negotiable. Air-dried logs retain sapwood — prime breeding ground for fungus and beetle larvae.

We test every batch. We reject 12% of incoming timber — even if it means delaying orders.

2. Log Profiling & Joinery

Our CNC machinery notches with absolute precision time and time again first of all the cabin is made using cad, then those plans are entered into the CNC machines, however before we start cutting the cabin we send you the plans it is that this stage that you can change or alter something, once you are satisfied you sign off the plans and we begin the process of manufacturing the cabin, quick and easy, no mistakes.

3. Flooring — Where Most Fail

Windows & Doors — Our Crown Jewel (and Why 99.9% Fail to Copy It)

This is where we draw the line — and where imitators consistently fail.

Our windows and doors are built in-house, using:

Glulam frames** (laminated spruce, 7-ply, finger-jointed)

Sealed gaskets** (EPDM rubber, not PVC)

German-made locking mechanisms**: Winkhaus, Siegenia, Roto — tested to 100,000 cycles

Tempered double-glazed units** (4-16-4), argon-filled, low-E coated, and toughened as standard.

Stainless steel hinges** (not zinc-plated iron — which rusts in 18 months)

Why do 99.9% of copycats fail?

A solid timber frame *will* twist as the cabin settles. Ours doesn’t — because the layers counterbalance each other.

Try finding a competitor who publishes their window spec sheet. Most won’t — because they can’t.

We challenge anyone: Send us your cabin’s window frame. We’ll tell you within 30 seconds whether it’s glulam or solid timber — and whether it will last 5 years or 20.

5. Insulation & Thermal Performance — The Net Zero Frontier

Here’s something few talk about: **Twin Skin Log cabins can be net zero.

Not “eco-friendly” — *net zero*. Meaning: annual energy consumption ≤ renewable generation on-site.

How?

– Twin-skin construction (70mm + 70mm logs) with mineral wool cavity insulation (U-value ~0.28 W/m²K)

– Triple-glazed windows (U-value 0.7)

– Air-source heat pump (3–4 kW)

– Solar PV array (4–6 kW)

– Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)

We built our first net-zero cabin in 2023 — a 10.2 x 9.2 m x 6m holiday home with:

 Two en-suite bedrooms

-Kitchen

– Living/dining area

– Utility room

– Roof-mounted ground solar array

– ASHP + underfloor heating

Annual energy use: **2,100 kWh** 

Solar generation: **2,450 kWh** 

Net export: **+350 kWh/year**

It’s in stock — ready for delivery. Not a prototype. Not a demo. A *real* physical Twin Skin cabin.

Yet most companies still sell 44mm single-skin cabins with no insulation, calling them “energy efficient.” They’re not. They’re thermal sieves.

Part IV: The Dealer Crisis — Why We Terminated 97% of Our Partners

Let’s address the elephant in the room: **Dealerships**.

In our early years, we relied on dealers — local businesses who knew their communities, could provide installation support, and offered after-sales service.

By 2019 , we had 50/60  active dealers across the UK-Wales-Scotland-Holland-Europe

By 2020, we had **2**.

Why?

Reason #1: Systematic Overcharging and stealing !

We discovered dealers inflating prices by 50–100% — then blaming *us* for “high factory costs.” One dealer in Manchester charged £22,500 for a cabin we sold him for £9,200. When confronted, he said: *“Customers expect to pay that — they think it’s premium.”*

We terminated him.

We decided to sell direct. No more killing our brand and hard work with sadly thieves.

Reason 2: Theft & Fraud

Yes — theft. From *customers*.

Case study: A dealer in Yorkshire took deposits from 14 customers (£68.000 total) for cabins “in production.” The cabins never existed. He used the money to pay personal debts. When customers called us, we reported him to the police — he was later sentenced.

We also reported him to Trading Standards.

Another case: A dealer in Scotland substituted our 70mm twin-skin cabins with 44mm single-skin knockoffs — same packaging, same branding. Customers received cabins that leaked in rain and froze in winter. We sent engineers. Found the fraud. Terminated. Prosecuted.

These aren’t outliers. They’re symptoms of a broken system.

Which leads us to our core belief:

**If you want quality — buy direct from the factory.**

Why?

– No middleman markup

– Direct access to engineers and designers

– Full transparency on materials and processes

– Ability to customise *anything* — from roof pitch to amount of doors and windows,

– No risk of misrepresentation

And let’s be clear: **There are no significant log cabin factories in England.** None. Zero.

Why? Because England has no commercial forests suitable for structural timber. The UK imports 85% of its softwood — mostly from Scandinavia and the Baltics and sadly the Baltics is mainly Pine, too many knots, young trees, and small in diameter,. So when a company claims “Made in England,” they mean: *Assembled in England from imported parts.* Often with Chinese-made hardware and cheap timber.

We manufacture in Lithuania — But we manufacture only with Swedish Spruce.

Buying from a “UK factory” dealer? You’re paying for logistics, not quality.

Part V: The Consumer’s Survival Guide — How to Spot a Real Cabin

You’re overwhelmed. You’ve read 10 websites. Seen 50 videos. Still don’t know who to trust.

Here’s your actionable checklist — proven over 23 years:

 Insist on Window/Door Specifications

Ask: *“Are windows joinery glulam or solid timber? Who manufactures the hardware? Please send photos of exactly what I am buying.

If they say “uPVC” or “premium composite” — run.

Request 4 Independent Customer References

Not testimonials on their site. *Real people.* Ask:

When did you receive your cabin?”

What issues have you had?”

Have you needed repairs? Who did them?”

Would you buy from them again?”

We give customers our direct line — no gatekeeping. If a company refuses, they have something to hide.

Check the Warranty Terms

A 20-year warranty that requires *only* basic maintenance (gutter cleaning, no standing water, re-treatment) is credible. 

A 10-year warranty that excludes “natural settlement,” “weather damage,” or “improper installation” is worthless.

Visit the Factory (If Possible)

We welcome visitors — by appointment. See the timber stacks. Watch the CNC machines. Meet the joiners. Compare the finish on a freshly assembled cabin vs. one stored for 6 months.

If they won’t let you visit — why not?

Our Promise — And Why We’re Still Here After 24 Years

We could have taken the easy path. We could have switched to uPVC. We could have outsourced to the lowest bidder. We could have offered 10-year warranties and called it a day.

But we didn’t.

Because we believe:

– A log cabin is not a garden ornament. It’s a *building*.

– It deserves the same respect as a house — structurally, thermally, and aesthetically.

– The customer shouldn’t need a degree in timber engineering to avoid being ripped off.

Today, we manufacture over 7,000 unique cabin designs — from a 2m x 1.5m lawn mower cabin (yes, we make those — with lockable doors and ventilation) to a 20m x 18m luxury lodge with underfloor heating, smart lighting, and a rooftop terrace.

We’ve shipped to every county in the UK. To remote Scottish islands. To Welsh valleys. To urban London gardens (yes — even on 10m x 8m plots, with planning permission).

And we still do what we did in 2003:

– Hand-inspect every log

– Test every window under simulated settlement

– Refuse to compromise on hardware

– Fire dealers who betray trust

We’re not the biggest. We’re not the cheapest. But we are — and always have been — the most honest.

## Final Thoughts: The Future of Log Cabins — And Your Role in It

The UK log cabin industry stands at a crossroads.

On one side: Mass-produced, disposable structures — sold with flashy ads, fake reviews, and promises that crumble with the first frost.

On the other: A quiet movement of makers who believe that wood, when respected, can create beauty that endures.

We choose the latter.

But we cannot do it alone.

Every time you choose quality over hype — when you ask the hard questions, demand proof, and refuse to accept “good enough” — you strengthen the entire industry.

You protect future generations from inheriting cabins that rot, leak, and disappoint.

You honour the craft.

So, thank you — for reading this far. For caring enough to seek the truth.

If you have questions — about timber, insulation, net zero, or why your neighbour’s “premium” cabin is already peeling — email us. Call us. Visit us.

We’re here. As we’ve been since 2003.

Not to sell you a cabin.

But to help you build a legacy.**FactoryCabins.com**

INDUSTRY’S BEST WINDOWS AND DOORS

If you’re seeking high-quality windows and doors for your log cabin, there’s nothing better on the market right now than ours. And our factorycabins.com pricing is ridiculously low when compared to the quality level, and the reason for this is simple: we are here to provide quality at a reasonable price.

We basically brought all of our competitors’ windows and doors. Yep, we went under the radar and bought 12 sets of windows and doors, and guess what? They all sold expensive “crap.” Then we took them apart to really see what is being offered, and what we noticed was that 65% of the companies used only a small amount of cheap mastic sealant in their windows and doors, and some companies did not use any at all.

Next, we discovered that nearly every company was cutting costs on the ” DIY ” glass so-called double glazing packages, with the majority of 89% of companies making their own glass, so it is not CE-approved double glazing but rather cheap panes of glass imported from China that are stuck together and called double glazing. This could not be made up if you tried!

You’ll notice in our gallery that we have several photographs of the timber, certified joinery timber that has been dried to a moisture content of 5-7% and then moulded. This means that our windows and doors are not meant to twist, buckle, or exhibit any of the other undesirable characteristics associated with low-cost products.

Windows and Doors for Log Cabins

If you want a very high standard of windows and doors, something “better,” and you want to update your cabin windows, please let our agents know. Please click this link to see excellent windows and the machines used to make them.

While it is understandable to place a premium on having sufficiently thick walls for your Log Cabin in order to enjoy the comfort and little heat loss from within, we must not overlook the importance of having the same high-grade windows. Failure to do so results in a waste of money and energy.

www.factorycabins.com takes pleasure in handcrafting high-quality windows for each and every one of their log cabins. You can expect the same high-quality windows whether you have a modest garden cabin or a multi-room residential cabin.

To demonstrate the distinction, factorycabins.com only uses the best grade of glazing. This high-grade glazing is double-glazed and is suitable for any log cabins with a wall thickness of 44mm or greater. Twinskin Log Cabins with double walls and access for insulation are also outfitted with the same high-quality double glass modules.

Unlike many low-cost manufacturers, factorycabins.com goes out of their way to assure that your windows will provide you with many years of trouble-free service.

The handcrafted process includes the application of double mastic as well as the addition of high-quality galvanised black rain shields that will never rot or rust. All that is needed is a simple wipedown with a damp cloth, or if there is any more stubborn dirt or grime, such as bird droppings, a basic window cleaning solution from your local hardware store or supermarket will do the job swiftly. Mortice and Tennon joints are professionally and precisely connected to the window frames. Many of our rivals frequently overlook this phase.

The framework’s wood is kiln dried to a moisture percentage of 3/6%. We constantly advise our clients to ensure that the windows are adequately stained and protected from the weather as soon as possible in order to maintain the moisture content obtained and avoid any swelling, warping, or twisting. This easy process results in a completely waterproof gadget. This website’s home page contains
a more complete description of the windows Please also watch the films, which will really impress you with the meticulous care that goes into window construction.

One of the quality checks we perform on the windows is to spray them with a powerful water spray for almost an hour. Not a single drop or drip of water makes it to the opposite side. This not only validates the superb craftsmanship of these devices but also the precision closures that result in a hermetically sealed result.

No high-quality single- or double-glazed unit should be lacking in security. The five-point locking mechanism, which www.factorycabins.com first introduced and represents an innovative leader in the UK, is the most important piece of hardware that they use.

The old English proverb “Don’t spoil the ship for a ha’peth of tar” is something that factorycabins.com has always followed. Historically, individuals who “skipped on the tar” discovered that their ships began leaking and listing and never lived up to their previous expectations. The same rule applies to log cabins, specifically log cabin windows. Be wary of unscrupulous cheap knockoffs who still make windows for a living. Your log cabin, whether it’s a garden log cabin, a garden office, a summerhouse, or a residential cabin, should be something you’re proud of and useful for many years. Www.factorycabins.com windows are all designed for long-term happiness. It really works out to be less expensive in the long term with no fuss.
Doors for Log Cabins

In terms of security, aside from having good functional lockable windows, your front and rear doors must be incredibly robust and durable to survive any break in attempts. While top-of-the-line deadlocks are essential, we believe that many manufacturers create doors that are so weak that a front door might easily be kicked inward.

One of the most important qualities of a properly secured entrance door for a residential structure is that it opens outward. The door jamb is built into the framework behind the door in this manner, making it nearly impossible to kick open once the door is closed.

To truly reinforce this level of protection, you will require a strong, durable door that functions as a fortress to guard your property. Www.factorycabins.com manufactures such doors for your log cabins and includes the appropriate high-grade deadlock security locks with three keys.

Such heavy doors must hang and swing open and close effortlessly. This necessitates the use of exceptionally robust hinges. Again, www.factorycabins.com provides such components as part of the package.

When planning a multi-room log cabin, it is critical to consider the sort of furniture that will be used in each room. Take, for example, the bedroom. If you have a set of wardrobes in your bedroom and have limited space, the bedroom door should be built to swing outwards from the room rather than inwards. Other factors must be taken into account when rooms are close together and form a corner. It is not a good idea to install a door in such a way that it covers another door when fully opened.
External doors that are glazed are double-glazed to the greatest extent possible. Internal doors are made of well-seasoned solid pine and are mortice and tenon jointed. When choosing glazed interior doors, only the best quality glazing is used in these cases.

The entrance door of a home, whether residential or a garden log cabin, should be welcoming and inviting. Factorycabins.com spends a lot of time and money making sure that the designs of these doors are not only beautiful but also useful.

We recommend that you preserve your door with suitable microporous paint as soon as possible to guarantee that it remains its beautiful condition for many years to come. It is an established fact that higher-quality products that cost a bit more than lower-quality products last much longer and cost less in the long run, as lower-quality products frequently need to be replaced multiple times during the same period.
With a factorycabins.com door, you will always feel protected and secure. If you have any further questions,

The Price and Quality out beats every other cabin on the market to date.

Now I dare you to visit any website in the UK and put this ordinary DF Log Cabin of ours up against anyone else’s.

Now before we begin, I am not going to tell you what certain size timbers are used in our cabins our structural timbers, as I want you to do your homework and ask other companies, ask them also about how their windows and doors are made, also the thickness of the windows and doors, what material they use for their window and doors, and glass thickness, is it up to what standard etc. I am fed up with pushing this industry up the hill with new ideas and designs, we stopped designing last year as we have over 7000+ designs, most of which have been copied.

So back to what you ask the company you think is offering you a bargain, what thickness are their roof purlins as this shows the kind of KN value you can expect from your roof. They will not have this information at hand to tell you, and will tell you to call back, or talk you around this, they will then think your a difficult customer because you’re asking all the right questions, which to them are the wrong questions, and when and if you have further conversations with them, most of it is lies.

We answer so many peoples questions, about how to look after a cabins, how to make bases, what to look for etc, but we have decided from the beginning of next week we will give just the basics. We are now picking our customers, as there are so many customers asking for our Range of High End Cabins.

Always Pay with a Credit Card

This industry is full of cowboys and thieves, and to be honest, 99.9% sell crap against what we manufacturer, and our prices are fair and honest. Actually our prices for the quality of the log cabin we offer and timber frame buildings are actually below the market value,

So please remember this, you pick a log cabin from any website,, and it looks amazing, and the price is low, low means its cheaply made, nothing else, it’s not a bargain, it’s not a steal, it’s not a fantastic day for you to celebrate, as you are just about to be conned into buying a package of crap, you look at what you have bought and put it up against ours and you think amazing, the same..but cheaper.. a cabin such as ours in look, but not in any other way the same as ours, their timbers will be thinner, their timber will be fast grown baltic pine, cheap and rots very quickly, and will need a lot of looking after , the windows and doors are rubbish, furnished with chinese handles, locks, keys and hinges and we all know rust, and breakages will happen sooner rather than later with these, purlins are 50% smaller in cut, strength, durability, and the cabin will be just a cheaply manufactured charlatan copy , a mass produced shed, as these can not be called cabins.

These Log Cabin doors took us 8 months to design and manufacture, so they would last a minimum of 10 years. These are the best doors in the industry.

The post Today, let’s talk about the DF range. appeared first on Factory Cabins LV Blog.

OK , so lets talk about whats what. Firstly, I have written on my blog so many times about cowboy buildings, thats in all the market, shed, cabins, houses, timber frame and brick, ((( UK))) you look for the solution to a problem you might have, which is normally space, and what happens you go to the Yellow pages and pic the one that they say is the best, you then have some guy comes round, and prices up your job, in the UK any kind of construction starts from ( not shed or log ) but Timber , Brick, Brick being the one that most people jump on, then deciding it will not help much when it comes to being quick, no fuss, or mess.

So, prices….

The cost of building a 2 bedroom house in the UK is anywhere between £187,625.00 to £281,437.00 the average size is FROM 60 SQ METERS TO 105 SQ METERS, depending. ( we are not talking about quality buildings, we are talking about the mass produced crap, which are generally called starter homes, thin walls, zero ( what we consider to be nothing) insulation and the cheapest double glazing the company can find).

Most Normal houses start with a price if completely detached about £220.000, and we are not talking about a quality, amazing , superb, etc. they are OK.. Building costs in the UK start from £1,950 per square metre.

56.16 SQ METER. And the starting price is , ready , FROM £239.995 56.17 Square Meters.

This is for seriously a cheap manufactured house. I could not find anywhere how they built this house and with what, what materials and quality of them. And the problem is, it’s bunched up with loads of other houses. Are they using graded timber, or just unseasoned knotting timber, are they using quality insulation or just cheap and cheerful low grade rock wool, or some cheap foil back??

Do they love what they do, or just your money! This question I ask everyone who does any work for me, be it the mechanic or my electrician. If its for the money only, then later, find someone new who really enjoys what he does.

There is Land to be found, and there is space, and you can get planning, and you can make your house far better, cheaper costs, and almost off grid if you know what you’re doing.

All I am saying is think before you start to spend loads of money on a house that costs loads of money to run…..

And, in 2022, a cost estimation for a house is anywhere between £1,750 and £3,000 per m2.

Now check this out……… This is a build regulation that is far surpass the UK build regulations, it makes a mockery of it.

The main requirements for TEK17 are low U-values of house constructions and airtightness of the structure.

• Floor construction U-value – not more than 0,15 W/m2K
• Outside wall – not more than 0,18 W/m2K
• Roof – not more than 0,13 W/m2K
• Windows and doors (with frame) – not more than 0,8 W/m2K

We can go higher on the U value, and not for a great deal more, But! You will loose some internal space of your unit.

This way Norwegian authorities push new buildings to be energy-efficient and this way the country is leading in the world according to high standards for buildings.

This is what you should be aiming for…. But can your builder A-afford to build this kind of building, given current price levels, yes, he could if he were us, even cheaper, and Factory means Factory, and the TEK 17 build reg is way out of most people’s dreams.

Not because its super expensive, but because people just go to the wrong people to purchase their dream home.

Firstly Credit Cards, they are perfect, always pay deposits, or whatever you buy with a card, your protected.
I have said many times, that builders now are going broke, why? because they spend the profit, and keep the material cost of that month in their pocket, profit comes at the end, not beginning, remember that and you are always safe, that’s how a good business works, also work out a payment schedule, not done, not paid.

And as everything rises in price, daily, weekly, your builder’s price is gone, and a new one is to follow, or they go bust. So, what do you do…? Call us…

Last words today…. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD!!!!
