How much does it cost to build a house?
Timber-frame construction generally costs less per square foot than concrete or steel for an equivalent house — lighter structure, faster assembly, less heavy equipment. But the real number depends on far more than square footage: wall construction system (standard frame, log, timber frame, CLT), lumber species and grade, roof complexity, foundation type, and regional material and labor pricing all move the total significantly. A flat "$X per square foot" figure is only a rough starting point for budgeting, not a number you should build a real budget around.
How the Geoniks cost estimate works
Draw your floor plan in the 3D editor — walls, roof, floors, stairs, fences — and choose your construction system and materials. Geoniks generates a full materials report: real US lumber dimensions (2×4 through 2×12, plus heavy timber 4×4 to 8×8), a complete piece list including door and window framing, and regional pricing for the US, Canada, Western Europe, the UK, Türkiye, or a custom price entry. The output is a printable cost report, with an engineering-review disclaimer since a licensed engineer or inspector should still sign off before construction.
What the estimate does and doesn't include
The estimate covers materials — framing lumber, cladding, roofing, foundation materials — calculated from your actual design. It does not include labor, which varies too widely by contractor, region, and market conditions to estimate reliably from a design alone. For a firm, all-in price including labor, request a quote from a matched manufacturer once your design is finished — that's a real quote from a real builder, not a generic estimate.
