Timber Frame Cost

Since timber frame homes are custom-made, cost is always a concern for these construction projects. However, you are free to design your own timber frame kit according to your needs. Even more, Hamill Creek is capable of accommodating a large range of budgets for whatever project you have in mind.

From wood selection to site location, there are many variables that impact the cost of a timber frame home. Even more, the size of your timber frame and choice of finishes will have an impact on overall project expenses. To create a home that honors your vision while also remaining within budget, we encourage you to work with Hamill Creek throughout the design process.
