What Norwegian Log Buildings states on its website
According to its website, Norwegian Log Buildings offers log homes and buildings across the UK and fully installed log homes. Its annexes page describes fully fitted granny annexes installed across the UK, from one- and two-bedroom annexes all the way up to four bedrooms.
The home page says the company designs, manufactures, delivers and installs the building itself, and the about page says the cabin is crafted entirely by its in-house team, with sourcing the only step handled outside the UK. On the annexes page, the company says its annexes are classified as transportable homes under the Caravan Act 1968 and recommends confirming the position with a Lawful Development Certificate, a process it says it can manage. It describes its service as running from designing the annexe to the client's needs to fully installing it on site and managing the admin.
