Frequently Asked Questions
- I understand these Styles of Cabins are “Exempt” from Council Approval, is This True?
No, if you’re wanting to use your cabin as a home office, extra bedroom, backyard pool house etc. it will need to be certified. It won’t be exempt.
- Can You Assist with Council Approvals?
Yes, our team of small home builders (and other team members) can manage all your council approvals. This is included in our pricing.
- Can I Live in My Cabin?
If you choose our Class 1 option they are all habitable. Class 10 options are domestic sheds and should only be used for that purpose.

We have our own dedicated team of professional log cabin builders that have built hundreds of log cabin homes over the last 10 years.
