it stated labor costs were equal to or greater than package price of log home kits i sure do want to know where this place is as i will relocate my price is around 11.00 to 14.00 depending on location for weathertight shell around the same for trim which is about half the price of packages

Jack.
In New Jersey, Delaware area we are getting $14-$15 per square foot for shells. I'm quite sure this number will vary from state to state. We did build a home in Virginia a few years ago and the local builder charged around $10 per square for the shell. He was a good builder and had been in the business for many years and the customer was very happy with his work.

yeah i know my prices are in line with most builders in va. i have built locally for 10.00 but unfortunatley most of my work requires travel and in some cases staying out of town i was just curious where people are paying up to the cost of log kits for labor

Hello Jack,

I think that it's fair to say that the required registration to post might have eliminated at least a few of those who were trying to sell their products by 'telling a fib or two'. ;)
