What moves the price
- Size: the rate per sq ft falls a little as the home grows, because the roof and plinth are shared.
- Bathrooms: each one adds plumbing, waterproofing and fittings.
- Roof shape: a simple gable is the most economical; dormers and multiple ridges add labour.
- Deck and verandah area: popular, and priced per sq ft like the rest.
- Site access: a plot a truck can reach costs less than one that needs the logs carried in.
- Transport and logistics beyond 50 kms and terrain.
