Log Cabin Pricing Information

Customers always ask " How much does Plan so-and-so cost?" or " What is the cost per square foot for your log cabins?"  The answer to those questions is not as straight forward as it may seem.  There are many variables that go into pricing a log cabin.  Some of these variables are:

1. Desired species of log ( Douglas fir, Cedar, Yellow Cedar)

2. Desired size of log ( 10"-12", 11"-13", 13"-14" etc...)

3. Overall size of building

4. Number of walls

5. Height of walls ( 9 feet, 10 feet, 11, feet, two story)

6. Complexity of roof system ( NO roof, Ridge Pole, Ridge and Purlins, Trusses)

7. Log stairs required or not ( straight run, Landing, Winders, Spiral)

8. Set-up location and time needed ( local, overseas, etc..)

9. Work load schedule

10. Plans required or not (Custom Plans, Stock Plans)

11. Current price of logs ( this varies depending on market conditions at the time)

12. How complex the electrical layout is  (number of Plugs, Switches, drilling required)

13. Log railings required or not  (interior log rails, exterior log rails)

14. etc.. etc....

Having said that...  most of our log home shell packages range in price from $ 38 per square foot for a simple cabin with four walls with no loft or ridge beams to $ 65 US dollars  per square foot for a complex house with a full loft,  log stairs and log roof system.  An average 2000 square foot home with a simple roof system and 9 foot walls would be around $90,000- $130,000 US Dollars depending on log species and size of log.  This is FOBLog Cabins Canada construction site and includes the assistance of 1 supervisor to assist for the log stacking on your site and does not include:

 Pricing for Stock Models

Our "Stock Plans" are offered to you by way of an affiliate of ours;  Great House Design.  They are the owners of these stock  plans and as such you must purchase the plans thorough them.  They are a great resource for "Stock" log cabin plans and are very helpful if changes are needed.  However, Great House Design is not a division ofLog Cabins Canada and therefore they cannot give you any information regarding pricing, delivery or any other aspect ofLog Cabins Canada' business.  You must contact us directly for more information.

The best way to get an up-to-date price on our stock models of log shells is to email or call us and quote the plan number.  We will then give you the current price for that model based on the variables above.
