House cost

Having made the decision to build a house, we are faced with the objective question “How much will a fully finished house cost?”. The answer to this question will depend on your ideas about the level of comfort and quality of the finished house. Turnkey solutions are often fraught with a discrepancy between the actual level of quality of materials and quantity of products and your ideas about them. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the basic tips for creating a wooden house in the "Articles" section. We are ready to share our experience and recommendations.

Speaking of a log house, one must remember that, as a rule, the wooden part of a log house makes up about 30-40% of the total cost of a house. The rest of the expenses the future owner bears on the design of the house, demanding work, foundation, roofing, joinery, finishing materials, engineering solutions and communications, site development - everything that is necessary for the construction of any house, including a wooden one. Therefore, the cost of a hand-built log house will differ from the cost of a wooden house built using a different technology, not so much the cost of the wooden part, but to a greater extent all other solutions and materials necessary for the complete completion of the house.

One of the frequently asked questions is: “how much does 1 m2 of your house cost?”. With regard to the house, the question is not correct and does not contain an answer. The cost depends on the geography of construction, type of soil, quality of materials, the project itself, construction time and many more factors. Do not build illusions, a low price is one of the easiest and most effective ways to “divorce” a client. The fairy tale about porridge from an ax is a very vivid analogy - you can cook porridge from an ax, but then you have to chop wood, apply water, add millet and oil. Fairy tales are rare in real life. It's easier to play the lottery - the risk of losing a couple of rubles is not great.

The main points on which you can save at the "turnkey price":

• price reduction and volume overstatement;
• quality is not specified;
• does not include part of the costs that will be billed in the future;
• misunderstanding by the customer of what exactly is included in the "turnkey";
• self-deception of the customer and the desire to pay and get everything ready on time and with high quality - as logic dictates, such a solution should not be cheap.

Our prices

On average, the price of a log house with a size of 150-200 m2 from the Chalet company will be 250-350 dollars. per m2 for a log cabin of one and a half floors in a manual cabin in a log of 35 cm, 12 m long, with installation.
The package is listed below.

This price can turn out to be only 10-20% higher than the same frame made of rounded logs with a diameter of 18-22 cm. But you must admit that 35 and 20 cm have a big difference, hand-made wood and rounded lumber have a fundamentally different look, quality and characteristics. And on the total cost of the house, the difference will be only a few percent.

Why such a price? Because we have our own production from the selection and delivery of timber, design, timber processing, felling and assembly. You get the price from the manufacturer. It is no secret that many firms claim that they make handmade log cabins, and when a customer appears, they turn to Chalet with an order for the client. We want and know how to work, so our principle is to earn honestly and reasonably, but work constantly, and not wait for the customer by setting exorbitant prices. We do not have loans and we do not owe money to our clients, working with us you can be sure that your payment goes to the purchase of timber and work on your house, and not to pay off debts or close other objects. You can always come to our production and see how your house is cut and other wooden houses are created.
