Different construction
You want panelised timber, SIPs, CLT, light-gauge steel, concrete, ICF or a purpose-built container system rather than an interlocking-log product.
Short answer: choose Loghouse or an alternative only after comparing the exact home, complete quote, planning route, Irish compliance evidence, site work, delivery, warranty and contracting company. A low cabin price and a full ready-to-occupy project price are not the same thing.
What Loghouse says it offers
Loghouse says it was established in Ireland in 2007, has completed more than 10,000 installations and operates several Irish showroom locations. Its public catalogue includes garden buildings and residential log cabins, with budget, hybrid, eco and larger bedroom categories. Those are company claims and current catalogue signals, not an OurHouse endorsement.
The supplier publishes prices for a number of models. Prices and promotions change, so open the current product page and save the dated written scope before comparing it with another quote.
When an alternative is worth comparing
Different design brief
You need a highly glazed contemporary model, a specific bedroom layout, accessibility changes or a larger family home that is not a close match for the published range.
Different delivery route
You are comparing an Irish supply-and-install quote with a factory-direct European model and need VAT, transport, offload, site work and warranty responsibility shown separately.

Planning warning: a log cabin is not exempt from planning because it is timber, modular, movable or below a salesperson's chosen size. A qualifying new detached auxiliary dwelling from 32–45m² may use Ireland's Class 3A route, but every condition must be satisfied. A non-habitable garden room follows separate rules. Read the planning permission hub.
Irish supplier or European factory?
An Irish supplier can offer local showrooms, site familiarity and one domestic contract. A European factory may offer a wider model range or a lower factory price. Neither route is automatically better. The imported route usually creates more handoffs between factory, transport, offload, Irish designer, groundworker, services and warranty support, so those responsibilities must be explicit.
OurHouse compares both routes. We show supplier evidence and published or captured price information, then keep uncertain items marked as uncertain. We do not hold construction deposits or buyer funds, and a listing does not guarantee planning, compliance, price, delivery or performance.
Buyer checklist before deposit
- Visit or inspect a comparable completed building where practical.
- Confirm the current model price and all exclusions in a dated quote.
- Establish the planning route for the exact site and intended use.
- Give the technical pack to the Irish professional team before ordering.
- Compare full project totals, not factory prices against completed-project prices.
- Check delivery, foundation and service interfaces before manufacture starts.
- Read the warranty, payment, cancellation and dispute terms.
Frequently asked questions
Is OurHouse a Loghouse reseller?
No. ourhouse.ie is an independent comparison and project-information site. It is not Loghouse and does not represent every supplier listed.
Are Loghouse cabins planning exempt?
No product is planning exempt solely because it is a log cabin. The site, development and intended use determine the route. Class 3A may cover one qualifying new 32–45m² rear-garden dwelling, but all conditions apply.
What should I compare with a Loghouse price?
Use the complete written scope: VAT, delivery, offload, foundations, services, finishes, planning and professional fees, Building Control, installation, warranty and exclusions.
Where can I compare other modular-home suppliers?
Use the supplier directory for Irish and European providers, then compare individual modular-home models and current price evidence.
