Do I need planning permission in Ireland for an Avrame?
For non‑habitable domestic structures (like sheds/home offices), Irish planning rules generally exempt up to 25 m² subject to conditions (height, open space, location). Habitable garden homes usually require planning under current rules. The Government has opened a consultation on expanding exemptions for small garden homes (proposals up to 45 m²), but this is not yet law. We’ll help you navigate what applies to your site and local authority.
How long does the process take?
- Kit production: typically 8–12 weeks
- Shipping within Europe: usually a few days
- On‑site works & assembly: depends on model, crew, and site; many clients dry‑in the shell in weeks, with full fit‑out taking additional time depending on trades and finishes. We’ll map a realistic timeline on your call.
Why choose Avrame over other modular or prefab options?
- Engineered A‑frame design built for Irish weather
- Scalable models from compact to family‑sized
- Owner‑friendly build path: clear kit, docs, and support
- Speed + flexibility: faster than traditional builds, flexible interior fit‑out
- Community & credibility: a global brand with European supply
What’s included in the kit — and what’s not?
Kits include the pre‑cut structural package and documentation for the chosen model. Foundations, utilities, MEP, and interior finishes are handled on site. We’ll provide a checklist and recommended sequence.
Do you deliver everywhere in Ireland?
Yes — we serve all of ROI and NI. Lead times and logistics vary by location; we’ll confirm on your call.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary by model, size, site conditions, and finish level. On your intro call we’ll give you a budget range and a step‑by‑step cost roadmap (foundations, kit, assembly, services, finishes).
Can I finance an Avrame?
Financing options depend on lender and use‑case (primary home, rental, farm accommodation). We can share what other clients have done and provide any documents lenders request.
Who installs it?
You can work with a local contractor crew or a specialist team familiar with A‑frames. We’ll outline pros/cons and typical timelines on your call.
