Country Log Cabins are an excellent option for fast growing international markets such as holiday homes, caravan sites, camping and recreational areas. Country Log Cabins structures focus on nature, with an eye toward green building and sustainability, offering flexible packages tailored to the specific needs of each market. The designs are unique and appealing to consumers looking for the "western" flavor of open, dynamic floor plans. Dedicated Export Staff Kuhns Bros. Enterprise currently has log structures in twelve countries. Their dedicated international sales staff, with nearly thirty years of combined export experience, is able to provide export quotations to either a foreign port or direct to a building site. These quotations, unlike normal FOB mill quotations, consider inland trucking, ocean freight, duties, taxes, etc.-items critical to the budget of an international importer. Market Contacts Country Log Cabins has a fast growing number of international contacts in key markets, including Ireland, the Netherlands, Cyprus, the UK and the Ontario and Quebec provinces of Canada. Country Log Cabins assistance ranges from arranging visits to an existing Country Log Cabins or Kuhns Bros. Log Homes home near or in the market, to recommending a company that offers shell-in erection services throughout the European Union (EU). This makes a significant difference in the sales process since Country Log Cabins is a log home manufacturer, not a builder. Many inquirers will need the services of an international contact or distributor for logistical support, foundation work, construction services, etc. Important Considerations All Country Log Cabins prices are quoted Ex-Works, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA (INCOTERMS 2000). Often referred to as FOB mill or plant, this means that the quoted price does not include shipping or export related costs. Therefore, it is very important to consider container rates, insurance, applicable tariffs, inland freight, country specific value-added taxes, etc., and how these items will add to the overall project completion costs. Each country has a unique protocol for obtaining planning permission, as well as for building codes. Moreover, these protocols and codes often vary from region to region in any given country and can be different for vacation homes/cabins than for structures intended for permanent dwelling. It is important to understand these requirements before ordering a Country Log Cabin. It is also important to have a builder available with the necessary experience to construct a Country Log Cabin. Every Country Log Cabins structure is shipped with a detailed construction manual and packed in an organized and efficient manner; however, self-builders should be certain they are prepared for the log construction necessary to complete the project. Professional contractors for foundation work, sewage and electric work are usually needed as well. Contact Information Click Here to contact us.
