The order of the Pluspuu house kit can be made only after receiving the building permits. Upon receiving the order delivery time for the kit to arrive the build site is approximately three months. From the beginning of a concept to delivering the kit to the build site will take up to six months.

If you can\u2019t find the answer to your question from the list below or want more information about our houses and cabins, please contact us to\u00a0info@pluspuu.fi Can Pluspuu holiday houses be converted into a permanent home \/ detached house? Yes they can. Pluspuu house collection consists of well-designed\u00a0modern cabins\u00a0and\u00a0holiday homes\u00a0that can be used as a vacation home or a permanent home. Why non-settling log is so superior for modern log house? The non-settling log permits the use of a wide range of advanced architectural solutions and structural details, such as windows and doors without covering strips. While the\u00a0non-settling log\u00a0system is more expensive than the lamella log, the difference in price is compensated by the fact that no allowance needs to be made for settling and there is no need for post-construction adjustment of screw jacks, windows, doors, etc. Non-settling logs are made of spruce or pine. Pre-designed model or a custom tailored house? Pluspuu offers pre-designed house models or can customize the designs to fit your lifestyle, location, and landscape. Pluspuu strives to appeal design conscious customer and provide an aesthetically pleasing product to your heart\u2019s desire. Choosing a pre-designed model saves time in the process. Small adaptations using the pre-designed models do not significantly increase the costs. How will the construction of a Pluspuu house be carried out? The construction of a Pluspuu house is always a collaborative project in which the customer and the dealer will map out and agree on the best possible operational model.
