Kiira

Summer House

In their home markets buildings such as Kiira are used as small summer houses - an escape from the rigours of life over a weekend, providing the basics.

The basics in such a building would almost certainly include a sauna but here in the UK we see lots of other potential.

Like Ivo and Evelin, Kiira is larger than most garden building suppliers run to and certainly more solidly built - these are log buildings, easily capable of lasting 100 plus years with round or, as here, square logs with no loss of charm.

So called "log cabins" featuring smaller log sizes will last but a fraction of the time Kiira and its equivalents will - a practical investment then.

All buildings in our portfolio will require planning permission, if you are not familiar with the planning process then it can be something of a minefield and professional help should always be sought, to help you we have produced a handy quide which explains how the process works - click on the icon below.

Our buildings benefit from fast build times once on site - assembly takes between 1 and 5 weeks depending on the size and complexity? Unlike traditional building methods which typically take between 6 to 12 months and are dependant on the weather.

Build costs for traditional building methods range from around £2,700 per square metre to over £3,000 per square metres for a higher spec build - the costs then for a typical 4 bed home, depending on the location, will come out at around £450,000. Your log building once committed to manufacture will be fixed in price, no budgetting for cost over-runs as is the norm of conventional build methods and we will be considerably more cost-effective to build, saving you time and money!

Whilst Ritsu make use of modern processing and production methods, the basic design principles are those of log homes that have been in use of hundreds of years - tried and tested then, when we say your building should last for 100 years or more, it's based on experience, not supposition.

Finally, you will be buying a log building that is amongst the most environmentally friendly buildings available, and also, one of the healthiest environments in which to live and work.
