What is a Prefab Log Cabin?

PolarHouse’s thermal prefab log cabin refers to a wooden chalet delivered as a prefabricated unit, which is assembled in dry factory conditions and transported to the construction site as a ready-made solution. Unlike traditional solid and laminated log constructions, where logs are laid one by one, PolarHouse’s prefab log cabins allow for faster and more efficient construction, thanks to a higher level of pre-completion.

With 25 years of experience in supplying prefab log cabins, PolarHouse provides ready-to-use timber parts and wall units that are delivered directly to the construction site. The wall units are quick to install, and most of our smaller cabins can be erected in as little as two days. This enables the house to be sheltered from the weather sooner, minimizing delays during construction and improving the quality of the final product.

How Is a Modern Prefab Log Cabin Priced?

When starting a construction project, it’s important to consider both the immediate and long-term costs. Factors such as heating, insulation, and energy efficiency significantly influence the living costs after the project is completed.

The price of a prefab log cabin is affected by several key factors:

  1. House Size and Layout– Larger homes and more intricate designs tend to increase costs.
  2. Type of Logs and Materials – Different materials, such as glued laminated logs versus traditional solid logs, vary in price. Investing in energy-efficient options, such as PolarHouse’s thermal logs, can be worthwhile.
  3. Level of Completion – Are you interested in just the basic cabin kit or a fully finished, move-in-ready home?
  4. Plot Location – Transportation and installation costs can vary depending on the region.
  5. Accessories and Customizations – Special windows, roofing solutions, and additional features can add to the overall price.
