Mass Timber Costs $35-75 Per Square Foot Installed

Mass timber typically costs more upfront than traditional framing, but prefabrication can reduce labor, schedules, and finishing costs. Traditional framing remains the economical, flexible choice for most homes. The best system depends on design goals, site access, engineering, energy performance, code requirements, maintenance, and resale expectations. Compare complete installed bids.
