Figure Out The Costs Of Your Log Home

People are always trying to figure out how much their log home is going to cost by looking for shortcuts instead of answers. The long and short of it is list everything that goes into making a log home, you should then call the people who will be providing the material and or labour and find out exactly what they charge. Then once you have those answers you would add them up then you would arrive at the actual costs. The truth of the matter is the only true cost that you will get in writing is the price of the log package. Even then the price will probably still fluctuate. Don't include the land you purchased in the price of your log home. If you asked to multiply the costs by the square footage that doesn't give you an exact price because first of all you would need to ask if that includes the basement or not. Does that include finished or unfunished basement. You also have to look at the different amenities people put in the same size houses. Cabinets, countertops, fireplaces, roofing and so on, and find out if all of these amenities are stock or custom items.
