Methodology
Ranges are for a finished, standard-spec timber-frame house (pine / spruce), per m² of living area, in EUR (USD at €1 ≈ $1.14). They were compiled in September 2026 from public market guides and manufacturer price lists for Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, Türkiye, United States, converted at September 2026 exchange rates. Countries without such a source are not listed — we don’t estimate them. These are planning ranges, not quotes, and are reviewed regularly. The same data powers the House Cost Calculator.
