Our technical expertise

Log cabins are complex structures and their designs and their relationship with the peripheral elements of the project as a whole require a sound knowledge of mechanical, structural, civil and electrical engineering practice and principles. A practical knowledge of strength and performance of materials is essential.

Keops Ltd is an engineering company which was formed and is run by its directors.
Richard M Lewis B.Sc C.Eng. MIMechE MIEE, Managing Director is a Chartered Engineer in mechanical engineering. To achieve such a professional status he was required to demonstrate to the Royal Institute of Chartered Engineers achievements by way of academic qualifications in the subject, a considerable number of years experience in the field of engineering and the holding of a senior post of engineering responsibility.

As a professional engineer Richard has an obligation to the public to be trustworthy and to provide honest accurate information and service which others can rely on.

You, the customer, will soon realise how important this is. If for example you need to know the merits or needs of a particular method of insulation, or the differences in grades of wood, or the ability to span a certain distance with a roof beam or the benefits of a particular glazing type, and so on, Keops will give you facts which can be supported by theory and practice.

All of our team are trained in the technical aspects of log cabins and will provide consistent information.

Additionally we can call upon a wealth of experience gained from over twenty-three years in the log cabin industry. During this time we have designed and supplied thousands of log cabins to all types of customer and for all types of use. Aside from the multitude of domestic installations in gardens we have provided solutions for commercial buildings, farm buildings, holiday applications, educational establishments, council projects, sports venues, the National Trust and the Caravan Club none of which would be entertained by the client if they didn’t put their trust in our expertise to deliver a building that was entirely fit for purpose.

Furthermore, whilst we were one of the first companies to recognise the possible market for log cabins in the UK back in year 2000. They had been made to service the Scandinavian and Northern European markets for many years prior to this and hence our machining resource has been producing these buildings for over 40 years and can also contribute a wealth of experience.

Finally, we keep totally abreast of what is happening in our market place. We make a point of being knowledgeable of the competition, what they do well, what is not so good, their abilities and so on. If asked, we are happy to point out the difference in what we offer and the way we work.
