Framing an A-frame cabin on a budget

9 years ago


I was looking into buying land in upstate NY to build an A-frame cabin similar to the picture above. I was trying to create a budget. I was able to get an estimate on water and septic, and architecture fees, but really can't determine how much the actual framing would cost.

If I hired a contractor to build the structure, build the foundation, insulate (tape the house), install an aluminum roof, and install all of the doors and windows of the A-frame cabin. (Essentially making it weather proof/dry) could I expect to pay under 20k?

The Dimensions of the house would be 31' x 46' x 2 stories high (didn't use geometry to get the actual height at peak)

Please exclude all other cost like land fees, etc. Just looking for framing cost.

Thanks!

P.S. if you can recommend a good contractor west of albany who can do the work please let me know
