How much does it cost to build a cordwood home?
A. This varies based on how much of the labor is done by the builder and by the materials used. If you have your own supply of wood, the only cost to building a cordwood wall is the mortar and sand. The foundation, roof, floors, plumbing, electrical and fixtures are all up to the home builders discretion and therefore can vary the cost greatly. If one fells their own trees and barters construction materials, a house can be built for around $10 per square foot. (Cost of well, septic and electric not included.
