Earlier, it was just the Americans, who were in love with log houses, but now the craziness has spread to India as well. If you are planning to get one of these fascinating and long-lasting homes for yourself, you have two broad options in front of you. Well, the first and the more feasible one are obviously to hire a professional builder, who will get it done for you within a few months. The second option, requiring less money but more effort is to buy a Log Home Kit, for a do-it-yourself project.



The cost of prefabricated houses in india like other places is determined according to the area. You can find pre-fabricated houses at a reasonable cost of nine thousand five hundred to twelve thousand rupees per square metre. Although the cost of prefabricated materials are about twenty percent more than conventional houses, yet the overall cost of erecting such structures goes down because of the elimination of auxiliary expenses of  electrical wiring, plumbing, plastering, etc. 


Those who are planning to save on the labor cost can go for a Log Home Kit, which generally consists of log package, framing package, and roof package. The kit actually comes with a shell of the house. This is a viable option for those, who are experience in construction work, or else you will have to take training to put together the kit all by yourself. Some builders do offer some training to customers and send a professional assistant to help the person buying the kit.
