Living in the US? Building With Canadian Custom Log Home Builder Offers Huge Savings

Over the years we have designed, built and exported a number of custom log and timber homes to the United States and abroad. If you live in the US and have always wanted to build a custom log and timber home right now is the perfect time to build.

Working with a number of US clients we have dedicated ourselves to not only building but also helping them understands the benefits of log and timber homes and helping them through the process.

The number one question that we get is “How much do log homes cost and how much can I save with the exchange rate?” so here is our detailed answer to help you figure that out:

When it comes to building a custom log home honestly, the sky is the limit. Depending on the style of home you are building (full scribe log home, Timber Frame, Post and Beam or Hybrid), the prices will vary. Other factors that can adjust the price include: specific features, square footage, transportation and additional add on’s.

To help give you a baseline, here is a quick breakdown of cost per square footage in Canadian Dollars:

  • Timber Frame Log Home: $45 – $65 Canadian per square foot
  • Post and Beam Log Home: $35 – $70 Canadian per square foot
  • Full Scribe Log Home Shell: $50 – $90 Canadian per square foot

Another huge savings when purchasing a Canadian log package and importing it into the USA is that there is no 5% Canadian sales tax.  So your log home package is tax free.  *Please check with individual state laws to understand if there are any import taxes involved.

To calculate these estimated costs into US funds and see the potential savings you can use an currency exchange tool.
