Letâs take the example of a car whose sticker price is $34,000. To buy it, with a 7% four-year loan and a down payment of 20% ($6,800), your payment would be $650 a month. However, if you were to lease instead, you would pay a one-month refundable security deposit and your payment would be $450 a month.
The cost per square foot of a 2000 square foot single story home can be half again as much as the cost per square foot for a 2000 square foot story and a half or two story home.But the cost to construct could be very similar.imber frames live larger and can often be smaller than a conventional home because there are seldom hallways and are no bearing walls. Weâve seen timber frame homes built from $150 to $350 per square foot, but donât be drawn into the âcost per square footâ conundrum. Itâs really smoke and mirrors.
The timber frame should compliment, not overpower, the home. To help those who are in need of some general idea of potential cost, however, we guestimate that we can cut a planed white pine timber frame for between $27-$30 per square foot.The cost of a single story frame or a frame with hips or valleys will be higher.f you are working with a more modest budget, you can build a timber frame home for slightly more than you can build a conventionally framed home with similar finishes. Timber frame packages vary from company to company. A package price is much like the price of a car.
