Lakeside timber frame home pricing

Honest Abe Log Homes offers two styles of residential homes - log homes and timber frame homes. Both styles meet all residential building codes.

Shown above is a modified Lakeside. Go to the previous floor plan catalog button at www.LogHomesByJack.com to see a similar floor plan. Send me your mailing address and I will mail a copy of the floor plan for this modified version. It has 1300 sf on the main floor and 700sf in the loft plus a 1300 sf walk out basement. The material package prices below include a roughed in but not "finished" basement.



Timber Frame material package on a basement.
Initial Estimate is $104,496.14

Log Home material package for the same design on a basement.
Initial Estimate is $99,409.86

Initial Estimate shows that clients are known to make changes in the floor plan drawings "after" the fist estimate is provided. The final material package price is established when the final set of floor plan drawings are OKed by the future owner. The same "estimate" situation exists with shell [i.e., dry in] and turnkey price estimates.

The pricing above does not include applicable sales tax or shipping. Material Package Discounts apply when we receive your signed $1,000 deposit and form by 12/31/10. Delivery must be taken by August 2011. Larger discounts apply when the material package is delivered by the end of February 2011.

Froniter B material package

We just finished working up the "initial estimate" for the Frontier model log home. It is a 2 story cape cod with a bedroom and loft up on a full basement.

6x8 D logs
Material Package for the Frontier made with 6x8 D logs.
$57,0-73.50 plus shipping and applicable taxes.

RuStick
Stick built "log" home with siding outside and inside
Material Package for the Frontier B.

Note that these are estimates with materials specified by our client. Turnkey construction costs will vary depending on your interior and basement needs.
