Coventry Scout Group – Case study

In 2005 David Atkins and Dave Hart decided it was time to replace one of their dilapidated buildings with a log cabin. They visited Luoman UK at the Home build and renovating show in Birmingham to discuss their requirements. After much deliberation we came up with a design to suit all their requirements and needs.

The main requirements of the Scout camp were to offer all year round accommodation for the Scouts, Beavers and Girl guides, as well as incorporating a day room and kitchen. Another requirement was toilet and shower facilities.

The end product was a 26m x 11m x 92mm Log Cabin, click on link below to view plan. The cabin sleeps up to 24 people and with the L shaped covered terrace the Scout group really felt they had a cabin for all year round use.

Dave Atkins contacted us in 2008 to again thank us for a great product and also updated us on how things have changed since taking delivery of the cabin in April 2006. “Our income for accommodation increased from 30k PA in 05-06 to 40k in 06-07, the 07-08 figures are already looking like they will break the 50k mark and the cabin itself is now fully booked until 2010”. He also commented that if they could raise the funds they would happily go for another building as they can clearly see the payback. The scout Group are now also getting regular bookings from Local schools whom want all year round accommodation.

We are happy to arrange a viewing of the cabin by appointment, please call us if you want an appointment arranged.

The building supplied to the Scout group had to pass UK building regulations and Luoman UK were able to assist and supply everything needed to ensure compliance.
