Glamping and rental cabins made of SIP panels
Guest-ready A-frame cabins: from a 45.8 m² studio to a family house, made at the Baia Mare factory, assembled in days and priced before the contract.
Why A-frame for glamping
The triangular silhouette stands out instantly in searches and photos on booking platforms, and the high-ceilinged interior with a glazed gable gives guests an experience different from standard accommodation. For a glamping project that means visibility exactly where the booking decision is made.
For you as the owner, the other half matters: the SIP panels are cut in the factory to the design, the structure goes up in 2–4 weeks, the turnkey cabin is ready in at most 3 months, and the price is fixed after the consultation and not recalculated. A screw-pile foundation makes the format suitable for sloped or wooded plots, with minimal disturbance to the land.
Three designs most glampings start with
A compact studio for two, a two-bedroom cabin on two levels, or the version with a larger ground floor — all 6 A-frame designs are in the catalogue.

Indicative “from” prices with the strip foundation included; screw piles and a slab are added in the design’s configurator. The plot, utility connections and transport from Baia Mare are budgeted separately.
The full calculation, including the costs around the cabin, is in the “Glamping business” guide.
From plot to first guests
- 1
The plot and its urban planning certificate: before buying or designing, check what the plot allows — we do it for free from your details.
- 2
Consultation and fixed price: we choose the designs, discuss the guest fit-out and fix the price for the whole job.
- 3
The permit, in parallel with production: the file usually takes 3–6 months; while it is with the authorities, the factory makes the panels in 2–4 weeks.
- 4
Assembly and handover: the structure goes up in days, the turnkey cabin is ready in at most 3 months from deposit and permits.
Glamping needs a building permit
A cabin on a foundation is a new building whatever its size — the “15 m² without paperwork” threshold is a myth. We adapt the design’s technical documentation to your urban planning certificate; the steps and documents are in the permit guide.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to open a glamping with A-frame cabins?
The cabin itself: insulated kit from about €500/m² or turnkey from about €1,000/m² — the smallest A-frame in the catalogue, 45.8 m², starts at €23,000 kit and €46,000 turnkey. Separately: the plot, utility connections, transport and the guest fit-out.
Can I start with one cabin and add more?
Yes. Catalogue designs are produced at the same factory on the same timelines, so the second and third cabin are added with the same design and documentation. The most prudent strategy is to start with one and expand after the first season.
Do I need a permit for glamping cabins?
Yes, as for any new building with a foundation, whatever its area. Plan 3–6 months from plot to permit; we prepare the technical documentation, adapted to the urban planning certificate.
How long until the first guests?
Kit production 2–4 weeks, structure assembly a few days, the turnkey cabin in at most 3 months from deposit and permits. The long part is the permit, 3–6 months, which can run in parallel with production.
Shall we talk about your glamping?
