Is timber frame more expensive than stick built construction?
Typically, a timber frame home costs 15 to 25% more to build than a custom designed, stick-built built home of equal size and with the same quality of finish. That said, the cost depends on the complexity of the design of timber frame. For homes that don’t incorporate expansive vaulted or cathedral ceilings, the costs can be much closer to that of a traditional stick-built home.
