Hello!
I have often read this forum and now have a question myself.
We came across an offer from the provider norgeshus-Nova, where houses from Estonia are available starting at 10,000 euros. We had considered buying an old house cheaply and renovating it ourselves, but building out a shell of a new house seems more practical.
My question is whether anyone here has built with Norges Hus before, and if so, how much it ultimately cost to complete the house to a move-in ready condition.
There must be other providers offering similar services, but I haven’t found any. Maybe someone here has built a prefabricated house with a different company and can share some information?

In January 2020, our house Norges Hus from Estonia, model 59, was assembled in Burk. We purchased it in Germany through the corresponding local supplier. The building permit / planning permission took only 2 days and was then granted. The foundation turned out very level. There were no issues during assembly. Our house was delivered with the front door and a completed roof with tiles installed, so the exterior is nearly finished. Now the interior work begins. The interior wall studs have also been erected. Now we can freely decide who will handle the interior finishing. There are plenty of options to negotiate prices. Everything is made of wood, and a cordless drill is enough to complete the rest, along with any other necessary tools. We will install an infrared underfloor heating system, and also cold water piping. Hot water will be supplied through an instantaneous water heater. We will apply for electricity for heating. The house cost us a total of 50,000 euros, excluding the foundation and plot of land. We made a down payment of 20,000 euros, and paid the remainder upon delivery when the truck was parked at our door. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.Hmm... the heating method usually has to be specified in the building permit / planning permission! What exactly are you applying for then? I only know of building permits granted within 2 days through an exemption. Isn’t that only possible when a development plan exists? It doesn’t seem like that’s the case here, right?
Who installed the utilities inside the house? It looks to me like a holiday home; what type of use did you declare?
My grandmother also has a similar house in her allotment garden.
I’m wondering how the house, combined with the heating system, complies with the energy saving regulations.
Two days for the building permit / planning permission?
It hasn’t even been presented to the municipal council, let alone received the official stamp from the district office. How does the process go so quickly for you?

Gerd Karin19 Feb 2021 09:37We moved in December 2020 and moved out of our large house. It was too much work. For our new small house, we didn’t need any loans. We were able to build exactly as we wanted. Our infrared underfloor heating works great. I can recommend it to everyone. Our faucets with integrated instantaneous water heaters work perfectly. Showers with a 21 kW instantaneous water heater. The house is very well insulated – at -20°C (-4°F), it is always warm. Glad we did this. No oil, no gas, no wood. No space needed for a heating system, we only pay for electricity, no maintenance, no chimney sweep, nothing. Everything done perfectly. Regards
