Timber Frame Construction Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction estimating unit cost for post and beam timber frame construction for a roof and walls. This is a rough estimate cost that gives a "ballpark" price for project planning.

Unit Size

One square foot of roof area.

Labor Costs

We figure about 33 square feet of timber framing per hour for a crew consisting of two skilled and one unskilled worker.

Material Costs

We estimate about 6 board feet of timber per square foot of roof area.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal calculates the gross roof framing area.

Source of Construction Pricing

A very rough "rule of thumb" price that we got from one of our users. Turtle Creek Software rehabbed a couple of old barns, but we never did any timber frame construction for new projects.

Places Included

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Developer Starter File.
