What LHM Group does

LHM Gruppen AS is a Norwegian private limited company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lillehammer, Norway, specializing in the design, construction, and turnkey sale of exclusive log cabins and timber-frame cabins in Norway's premier ski destinations. The company offers a portfolio of ten cabin models (LHM 1, 4, 7, 9, L 216, L 316, L 416, G 2, G 3, and G 3 Max) built using traditional Norwegian lafting (tømmerlaft) and stavlafthytte hybrid construction techniques, priced from NOK 11.59M to NOK 18.95M. In addition to cabin-on-customer's-land sales, LHM develops three ski-in/ski-out project portfolios — Svartskard (16 apartments at Kvitfjell Vest, NOK 8.59M-16.9M), Laftestølen (15 cabins at Kvitfjell Varden, NOK 10.4M-15.4M), and Laftehovda (11 cabins at Geilo) — with prices including land.

The company operates through four exclusive regional dealers (LHM Bygg AS, Hovin Laft AS, TS Laft AS, Nordfjord Laft AS) that collectively cover every major Norwegian ski region from Hafjell and Kvitfjell through Geilo, Hemsedal, Trysil, and Stranda, supplemented by direct sales via the company website and project-specific partnerships with PrivatMegleren real estate agents. All cabins are delivered fully turnkey including custom kitchens and bathrooms manufactured by sister company LHM Interior, premium appliances, tiled bathrooms, concrete slab foundations, and complete plumbing and electrical work. LHM also maintains a US market presence with English-language support and dedicated cabin listings for foreign buyers.

The business model is one-time real estate sales to high-net-worth individuals seeking premium mountain retreats and investment/holiday properties, with revenue generated through cabin deliveries on customer-owned land and the sale of completed units within LHM's project developments. The company employs approximately 20 people, operates dealer channels rather than direct field sales at scale, and pursues international expansion opportunistically through English-language site content and realtor partnerships rather than dedicated foreign sales infrastructure.

Direct peers

• Saltdalshytta: Norwegian manufacturer and seller of prefabricated log and timber-frame cabins. Closest direct competitor to LHM in the turnkey Norwegian cabin market with similar product positioning and dealer-led distribution.
• Norske Hytter: Norwegian cabin builder offering modular and turnkey cabins. Directly comparable product offering to LHM, competing for the same Norwegian mountain-home buyers.
• Rindalshytta: Norwegian log cabin manufacturer offering turnkey cabins across multiple sizes and finishes. Directly comparable to LHM in product type, target buyer (Norwegian HNW and second-home market) and turnkey delivery model.
• Røroshytta: Norwegian producer of log and timber-frame cabins and apartment buildings in mountain areas. Comparable product portfolio (cabins + project apartments) and turnkey positioning to LHM.

Emerging players

• Plant Prefab: US-based prefab home builder focused on sustainable, custom-design homes with shorter build times. Comparable to LHM in turnkey premium-home positioning, though in a different geography and with industrial prefab rather than on-site craftsmanship.
• Øster Hus: Norwegian modular/prefab home manufacturer offering architect-designed turnkey homes. Adjacent emerging player competing for the same HNW Norwegian buyer, though with a more modernist/industrial aesthetic vs LHM's traditional lafting.

Broad incumbents

• SkiStar: Swedish-Norwegian ski resort operator with a real estate division developing and selling mountain homes near its resorts. Adjacent peer in ski-property development and same end-customer profile as LHM's resort-based buyers.
• Lindal Cedar Homes: North American premium custom cedar/log home manufacturer with a dealer network. Comparable to LHM in custom luxury log home delivery via regional dealer reps.
• Mestergruppen: Large Norwegian construction and building materials group with cabin and housing offerings. A broader incumbent operating across multiple construction verticals, of which log/timber cabin sales to consumers is one segment.

Regional players

• Reierson Construction / High Mountain Homes: US luxury mountain home builders in Colorado ski resort towns. Comparable product type (turnkey luxury ski-area homes) but operating in North American geography rather than Norway.
