Book a free design meeting

The initial planning session takes just a moment, but it will take you a long way toward realizing your log building dream. We can meet either remotely, where you’ll see a realistic virtual model of the log building, or at our exhibition area, where you can explore our collection with your own eyes. If you’d like, we can also meet at your home or directly on your cottage plot.

Three Good Reasons to Book a Design Meeting Today

You'll get a clear price

At your very first meeting, you’ll receive a draft of your own log building, along with a preliminary estimate of its price range and various customization options. When you have the facts straight from the start, you can make your decision with peace of mind.

You'll realize just how easy this project is

The Oikeastivalmis™ concept means that your building is almost entirely completed at the factory. Salvos delivers the finished interior and, if you wish, also the kitchen, electrical work, outdoor lighting, decks and glazing in the same package.

All you need is your dream

All you need is a dream of owning your own log building. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll help you turn your dreams into concrete plans.

This is how your dream begins to take shape

1.

We'll start by listening to you.

We thoroughly assess your needs. We want to understand what kind of building you’re dreaming of, what it will be used for, what your budget is, and what kind of lot it will be built on. We familiarize ourselves with the lot’s specific characteristics early on in the project.
2.

Together, we'll draw up a preliminary plan

Together, we’ll create an initial sketch that lets you see your log building as a realistic virtual model. This brings your dreams to life and helps you visualize the building’s proportions and overall appearance before you make a decision. If you’d like, we can also meet at our exhibition area, where you can see the buildings in person.
3.

We agree on the next steps

After the first design session, we’ll schedule a second meeting and give you time to consider the various options at your leisure. During the second meeting, we’ll finalize the details regarding the log building’s features and materials, and you’ll receive the final price for the project.
Booking a design meeting does not commit you to anything; its purpose is to map out your needs, free of charge.

Customer Experiences

Truly ready to use, in as little as an hour

When your Oikeastivalmis™ log building is delivered to your lot, it is completely ready for use. For example, a sauna delivered as a single unit is ready to be heated on the very same day—all you need to do is light the stove. Installing a building delivered in two or more modules takes a little longer, but it, too, will be ready in a matter of days. If your building requires water and electrical connections, you’ll need to arrange for those yourself.
  • Manufacturing at the factory takes about 9 days. Everything is made completely ready to go.

  • Installation takes as little as half an hour, and for large buildings no more than a few days.

  • The building will be delivered fully finished and ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking a design meeting commit me to ordering?

There’s no obligation. The design meeting is free of charge and doesn’t commit you to moving forward. You decide whether to buy a log building only when it feels right.

Does the lot need to be ready?

Not necessarily. If the lot has already been identified, we’ll take its specific characteristics into account in the design. If a lot hasn’t been identified yet, we can still move forward with the building design. The plan can be refined later based on the site.

What should I bring to the meeting?

All you need to do is tell us about your dream. If you have a site plan, photos of the lot, or favorite designs from our catalog, feel free to share them. They’ll help us get a clearer picture of what you’re looking for.

Can I have access to the meeting materials?

Yes. You'll receive a link to the virtual model, along with a summary of the key dimensions and features. This way, you can review the plan at your leisure even after the meeting.
