NordCabin homes are designed to be versatile, and for foundations, we offer two solid and efficient options that will secure your home and make the process easy:
Screw Piles or Concrete Piles: These are ideal for uneven or soft ground, and they can be installed quickly and with minimal disruption to the landscape. Screw piles are highly recommended because they not only provide strong, reliable support but also allow flexibility in the future. If you ever decide to relocate your NordCabin, screw piles make it easier to move without extensive site work. They also require less excavation and are generally quicker to install than traditional foundations.
Columnar Foundation Made of Concrete: If you prefer a more permanent solution, a columnar foundation provides a sturdy, long-term base. This method works best on stable ground and is suitable for areas that may require additional support due to soil or environmental conditions. Concrete columns ensure stability and a solid structure over time.
While we guide you in choosing the right foundation, the foundation construction itself will need to be managed by you or your dealer. Rest assured, both options are straightforward, and the process won’t take much time. We can provide advice and even assist in connecting you with foundation experts, but you will find that the installation process is efficient and manageable, ensuring your NordCabin is securely anchored from day one.
For long-term flexibility and ease of future relocation, we recommend screw piles.

In Germany, the requirements for building permits vary depending on the size and nature of the structure, as well as local regulations. For small houses, such as tiny homes or modular cabins, the rules can be more lenient. Generally, if your cabin is under a certain size (often around 50 m²), you might not need a full building permit. Instead, you may simply need to notify your local building authority (Bauamt).
However, if the structure will serve as a permanent residence, or if you intend to install utilities such as plumbing or electricity, a permit is typically required. It's essential to check with your local Bauamt for precise information, as regulations can differ significantly between the 16 German states (Länder).
For clients in other European countries, the rules can vary as well. For example, in some regions, similar size restrictions apply, while others might have stricter regulations regarding temporary and mobile homes. Always consult local regulations to ensure compliance.
For further details, you can refer to the model building code and contact your local building authority for specific guidance tailored to your situation.
