Areas Where You Can Save Money When Acquiring Log Cabins For Sale
Are you searching for log cabins for sale UK in cyberspace? If so, you would be glad to know that there is a wide variety of designs out there. In fact, manufacturers have introduced and offered so many log home kits that you can find a specific log cabin that satisfies your tastes and needs by just filling out the fields in their sites.
Since many cabins are sold as kits or pre-fabricated units, you may think they cost less than classic “on-site” homes. In many cases, this is true, but the initial cost of constructing one can go to high heavens if you are not careful.
Here are a few factors that affect log cabin kit price.
1. Type
Cabin types range from shells (only the basic structure and walls) to turn key (structure with doors, windows, floors, cabinetry, floors, etc.). Needless to say, a more complete cabin is more expensive than a shell.
2. Size and Space
The larger the log cabin, the higher the cost. It is vital to plan ahead on how much space you require considering your lifestyle and needs. Overestimating the required space entails extra expenses. Underestimating the size or area can save you cash but at the sacrifice of comfort.
3. Construction time
Less construction time can save you a lot of cash. Generally, on-site construction is less costly than having your log cabin constructed at the manufacturer’s place, disassembled, transported, and reassembled in your property.
4. Utilities
Having your site readied for construction can save you tons of money rather than have the log cabin construction crew lay out the piping, drainage, sewer system, HVAC, and electrical systems. Have an electrician and plumber prepare utilities for you.
5. Do It Yourself
If you have relatively good carpentry skills, construct the kit on your own or with the help of loved ones and friends. You don’t need to pay the crew to assemble your log home.
