I am looking for companies that make prefab cabins in the US. I would
like to see if they have a nice cabin (i.e. 2-3 bedrooms and 2
bathrooms)that I can import to Spain. A friend of mine bought one in
Canada, and he is very happy. I am mostly interested in nice designs,
easiness to send from the US to Spain and easiness to mount without
specialized labor.
The answer I expect is a list of companies with contact information,
and some assesment on their designs and capacity to send abroad.

Ola tautau,

Is this similar to what you are seeking? Would it matter if the
company is NOT in the US? Would a Canadian or Australian company be
satisfactory as well?

I have found a few sites, but none of them netion shipping to Spain.
Since it is after business hours, I am unable to call.

If the link above is close to waht you want, I'll make some calls when
the businesses are open.


Out of curiosity, may I ask where in Spain this cabin will be
situated? I lived in Southern Spain for several years, and if I could,
I'd be in one of these cabins, in Spain, now!

Regards,
crabcakes-ga

Clarification of Question by tautau-ga on 19 Feb 2004 21:58 PST

Hi Crabcake,

the truth is that I had already seen cabins.ca, and I felt what I was
looking for is more custom made/luxury models, in terms of design. It
doesn't matter that much if the cabins are made in the US. It can also
be in Canada or Australia.

The kind of model we are looking for is the mountain cabins in Aspen
or the Alps. Nothing very big, just one floor, but of very good
quality and exclusive design.

The cabin would be located in the "sierra", in the center of Spain, near Madrid.

Thanks a lot

Tautau

Hello tautau,

I have compiled a list of cabin/chalet/cottage kits, placing the most
informative and seemingly promising sites first. I have contacted the
sites that do not have shipping information on their site. As of
posting time, only one business, Panel Concepts, returned my calls.
Being Friday, perhaps I?ll get return calls on Monday. If so, I?ll
post that information. All of the listed sites have either e-mail
addresses or a request for information form.

I hope you find these web sites acceptable. I certainly enjoyed seeing
all the gorgeous cabins and cottages! If any part of my answer is
unclear, or not what you were hoping to find, please request an Answer
Clarification before rating. By doing so, I will be able to assist you
further, if possible.
Are you planning on inviting the Google Researchers for a vacation el
la sierra when you have the cabin completed?  :-)

Buena Suerte,
