Building regulations are put in place to safeguard any work that is carried out and ensures it is done to a safe standard. Nearly all buildings under 30m squared or any buildings that are transportable or mobile are exempt of these regulations making residential Log Cabins in Lancashire an ideal choice.

We are passionate about what we do and have many years in manufacturing here in the UK. Over the last six years, we took our manufacturing abroad to keep our prices competitive. In doing so we have taken our work ethic overseas to our mill to ensure that all our buildings are built to the exceptionally high standard we are known for.

If you require building regulations we are able to submit our buildings to a UK registered structural engineer to gain the appropriate reports. We can do this on your behalf or we can provide all plans for you to submit yourself. The main reason we don’t include full building regulations is that requirements vary from county to county, therefore every report will be case dependent.

Working in this way allows us to provide a building that is not only affordable but safe and built to the standard we would expect from our own manufacturing here in the UK.

Work With Experts

This can be a frightening aspect of any residential self-build home, as there is no rule book written in a way which is easy to understand. It is, however, something we have past experience of. We already construct all our buildings as close to the rule book as possible ensuring that when working with building control we work closely with you as the customer to ensure all regulations are met and understood.

To ensure the building is structurally safe, building control would ask for the following main reports from qualified professionals:

• Structural Calculations: Structural Engineer
• SAP Report: Energy Assessor
• Electrical Certificate: NICEIC Approved Electrician (or equivalent )
• Gas Safe Certificate: Gas Engineer

It is best to stick to our expertise and forge strong working relationships with the right professionals for each job. To ensure this we always hire trusted professionals on your behalf who provide us with reports or calculations and specifications to work to, this ensures the residential wooden building meets all building control regulations.

As a well-connected family run business, we are fortunate to have networks with a wide variety of professional trades at our disposal. This ensures the job runs smoothly from build through the first and second fix stage to the final handing over. As always, we can support you with as little or as much as you require in regards to planning.

Log Cabin Lancashire

It is very important that planning laws and regulations are followed when building a log cabin in Lancashire. You as the customer is ultimately responsible to ensure compliance with any relevant regulations however Beaver Log cabins are able to help and advise with this process. It is however always recommended to consult Local Planning Authorities and the Building Control Service prior to going ahead.

Most log cabins have a very distinctive look on the outside, this does not mean that you are required to have that look on the inside, you can choose to have the look of log walls, or can have drywall installed and give the finished look of a regular home.

That is one of the great things about choosing to live in a log cabin as a residential dwelling. You get the benefit of the unique exterior and the choice of what kind of interior you would like to have. Another thing that may prevent some people from looking into living in a log cabin in Lancashire as a residential dwelling is the notion that a residential log cabin only has one floor. When you choose a cabin as your home, you can have a basement and a second floor if you so choose (subject to planning permission).

The technology we use to build log homes enables them to have everything a standard bricks and mortar home would have but with that very distinct timber look. Beaver residential log cabins are insulated buildings making them a viable and cosy option for all year round use.
