Who said you have to rough it in the woods? This charmingly simple 400 sq. ft. recreation cottage cleverly accommodates all creature comforts, including a bedroom, shower room, kitchen with dining area, living room and even space to warm up next to a wood stove.
Of course, the porch is the crowning glory - a perfect place to relax before or after fishing or a hike.
This cottage would be equally as enjoyable as a guest suite or mortgage helper where zoning allows.
In order to respect the building code and also meet the multiple needs of our customers, you will have two (2) versions of the cottage design included in your plan.
A first version will include an uninsulated and unheated version for seasonal use only (3 seasons). The walls are 2 '' x 4 '', the floor joists are 2 '' x 8 '' and the rafters are 2 '' x 8 '' for the roof.
The second version is an isolated and heated version for permanent occupation (4 seasons). For this one the walls are 2 '' x 6 '', the floor joists are 2 '' x 10 '' and the roof is designed with roof trusses.
**BCIN certification for Ontario residents only: as the 2x4 and 2x6 wall versions are included in the plan you will receive, the BCIN certification service is only offered on the 2x6 wall version. Please contact us for details, if needed.
Both versions are provided on screw piles to ensure stability. However we can design other types of foundation for this plan to better suit your needs if necessary. You need simply contact us for details.
The cost of the estimated materials is for the seasonal version and not the isolated version. Except for the screwed piles that are included in our cost, our cost of the estimated materials excludes the expenses related to the foundation specified in the details of the chosen plan (in the line "Type of foundation"), electricity, plumbing, heating and labor. In addition, the price of materials represents a provincial average that can vary from 10% to 30%, depending on the region, the construction season and the quality of your materials. It is also based on the use of everyday quality materials that most contractors use.
