How much does it cost to build a log home?

This is by far the biggest question that we hear from people interested in building a log home or a timber home.

There are 3 main factors to consider:
1. Determining the type log home
2. The initial cost to build a log home structure
3. The cost of finishing your log home

Determining Your Log Home Style: Full Scribe, Timber Frame or Post and Beam
No longer is a log home seen as being a small dark cabin in the back of the woods. Today, log homes have evolved to have as much or as little timber in the design as you want. The three main styles of log homes are:

Full Scribe Log Home: the traditional style of log homes. Built using horizontal logs stacked on top of one another and interlocked at the corners by notching.

Post and Beam Home: Consists of many round vertical logs that carry large horizontal logs on top. Traditional or log framing may be used.

Timber Frame Home: Similar to post and beam, one of the main differences between a timber frame and post and beam is that timber frame uses square timbers compared to a post and beam using round timbers.

This video will break down the other two factors.
