Not sure what it will take outside of a housing collapse for prices to become sane again. As is, things from a price standpoint are difficult, to say the least. Thankfully lumber is down from a year ago (though up 30% from recent lows), or else prices would be really crazy. I did add some significant increases to the allowances, as septic prices are higher, cabinets are notably higher, flooring is up, etc. Factor in labor cost increases, and price increases for this year are, percentage wise, just a little bit less than the previous two.

Initially I didn't expect things to be as steep this year as the last two, but after having conversations with HVAC, Plumbing, and the window supplier, and, well, 2023 isn't off to a great start.

Paramount Log Homes, the source for affordable, quality built log homes and cabins in the Billings, Montana area I'm also including a new page on the website to help serious customers understand the building process and what you can expect as a project progresses, as well as things you can do prior to signing a contract that can help things progress smoothly and with minimal stress. Just remember, though, that bank financed projects require a home to be completed in a timely manner (no installing the carpet or interior doors in a couple of years).
