We design and craft many hybrid homes now. In fact, these hybrid homes have become more common than fully timber-framed homes. How you plan to finish your new timber frame home is perhaps the biggest unknown variable. One good thing about interior finishes is that it is more controllable. Again, this percentage can easily go up or down depending on your choices. As you can tell, there are a lot of components that go into building a new home and much of the overall cost to build a new home, a timber frame, will be dependent upon your choices in the design of your home and interior finishes.
