VAT status of building a log cabin.

A UK client is registered for VAT and is buying wooden components from Romania which will be shipped to the UK and then constructed as a house in the UK described as a ‘log cabin’.

The foundations are being prepared by someone else and he is arranging for the house to be erected by the same Romanian suppliers. He is not involved in anything to do with the contents water waste or electricity that may be installed within the house.

I assume planning permission will have been obtained but again my client is not involved with that. He will just be acquiring and arranging for the construction of the carcass and roof of the building.

His supplier in Romania will be charging him VAT. Am I right in saying that if he provides them with his VAT number they should be able to ship it to him...
