This will give you a rough indication of the timber frame costs of your new build home. Alternatively if you already have drawings why not send them to our sister company Simply Self Build for your FREE Timber Frame Estimate.
When you have sketched out the design for your new home using our DIY Design Guide you can use this guide to give you a rough ‘budget’ cost for your timber frame.
Detailed estimates are complex, involved, and take considerable time to produce. However, we hope you will find this ‘Rough Guide’ to the cost of your engineered timber-frame building project, helpful in assessing budgets and affordability for your project.

TT Top Tip
1. These guidelines apply primarily to Engineered Timber Panel and Trussed Rafter
structures. If you are contemplating traditional oak, post and beam, freeform glulam, or stick-build, then please send us your plans for our experts to help you further.
2. Please understand that design complexity and specification have considerable effect upon build costs. A square timberframe box is much simpler, easier and quicker to design, engineer, manufacture and build than an ‘L’, ‘T’, or ‘H’ shape, especially if walls have differing heights, angled heads, and so on. Height, number of floors, ratio of outside walls to inside walls, type of windows, floor finishes, tiles, etc. also affect costs. Likewise the size of your building affects contractor costs with these generally reducing per square metre as the size increases. However very wide joist spans can put prices up.
3. While building costs are broadly the same throughout the UK – subject to local labour and transport variations, land costs are not included and will vary enormously across the country. Of course Land Costs are not included in these guidelines.
4. The plot you buy will have a big effect on the type of building you can design and build. We suggest designing your new home with the plot in mind.
