These types of houses are usually single-story structures to maintain the stability of a building. They are simple in shape and design but give an elegant look. Also, they can withstand harsh weather easily.

You don’t go for deep foundations in a light wooden framework, which saves you a lot of money and time. In addition, it generally follows a dry construction technique. As a result, there is less plaster shrinkage and cracking.

Generally, constructors build a mobile home in a factory and transport it to the final destination in several huge pieces. You can make a house in a single piece or multiple parts, depending on the size of a log cabin.

You make walls of these houses from finished wood or various other materials. Such log homes are famous in northern and central Europe. Though mobile homes are not a common option in Spain, builders are continuously promoting them.
