If you’re thinking about investing in a log cabin, one of the first questions that comes up is: what exactly is included in the price of a log cabin in Ireland? At Timber Living, we believe in transparency, so here’s a full breakdown of what’s covered when you buy one of our log cabins in Ireland — and what additional steps you’ll need to plan for regarding log cabin prices Ireland.
What’s Included in the Price of a Log Cabin ✅
When you order a Timber Living cabin, you’re getting more than just walls and a roof. Our prices include:
- Personalisation – Adjust layouts, room sizes, and window placements to match your needs.
- Deposit & Production – Secure your design with a €4,000 deposit. Once paid, your cabin goes straight into production.
- Clear Contract – A written agreement that lays out all the details, so there are no hidden surprises.
- Timeline – Your cabin is ready for on-site assembly in just 10 weeks.
- Quick Build – We construct the exterior (walls and roof) in as little as 3 days.
- Finishing Touches – Our team returns to complete the insulation, flooring, and interior walls for a cosy, ready-to-use space.
What’s Not Included ❌
Some essentials are not built into the cabin price and need to be organised separately:
- Concrete Base – The cabin requires a solid concrete foundation, which is arranged by you.
- Plumbing & Electrics – After the structure is built, you’ll need to organise first fixes for water and electricity. These usually take about a week.
- Planning Permission – Depending on the size and location of your cabin, you may need to apply for planning permission.
Do You Need Planning Permission for a Log Cabin in Ireland?
This is one of the most common questions we get asked. The short answer is: sometimes yes, sometimes no.
If the cabin is under 25 square metres and used for non-residential purposes (like a garden office or hobby space), planning permission often isn’t required. For larger cabins, or when the cabin is intended as a permanent residence, you’ll likely need approval.
👉 Important Update: The Irish Government is currently reviewing planning permission regulations for small-scale housing projects, including log cabins. We are awaiting the official verdict on whether exemptions will be expanded, and we will update this page as soon as the decision is announced.
At Timber Living, we’ve built hundreds of log cabins across Ireland — some with planning permission and some without. We can guide you through the process and help you determine whether your project will need it.
How Much Do Log Cabins Cost in Ireland?
Prices vary depending on the size and design, but at Timber Living our one-bedroom cabins start at just €26,000. Larger models, such as two-bed or three-bed log cabins, are available at competitive prices and include all the features listed above.
