Log home price guide
Log homes are quoted individually, because timber specification, veranda size and site access vary so much between projects. Send us your size, location and must-haves for a price.
What affects log home prices
Size and layout
Floor area, number of rooms and how complex the design is.

Thicker logs and different profiles change material cost and insulation.
Timber treatment
The correct treatment class for external timber is essential and affects price.
Roof and verandas
Deep verandas, exposed trusses and roof type add character, and cost.
Windows and doors
Large glazed doors and windows let in light but cost more.
Interior finishes
Flooring, ceilings, kitchen and bathroom fittings.
Plumbing and electrical
Services for a dwelling, including an electrical certificate of compliance.
Foundation

Transport and site access
Rural and mountain sites can mean longer distances and harder access.
Costs to include in your budget
Remember these alongside the building price:
- Building plans and municipal fees
- Site clearing and access roads on rural plots
- Water, septic or sewer, and electricity connections
- Ongoing sealing and maintenance of the timber
- Insurance, which can differ for timber buildings

It depends on size, log profile, verandas, finishes, the foundation and how far the site is. Send us your requirements for an exact quote.
