I am a student at Brigham Young University-Idaho. I am a Construction Management Major seeking a bachelors of science. I have recently been assigned the topic of Timber Framing to research and report. I am research not so much what it is, but how it the industry has grown. I am looking for things like What makes up the cost of the framing portion of the timber framed home? Is it design, square footage, board feet, types of joints, material used (solid timbers, engineered lumber, recycled timbers) and such that effect the cost. I am sure that all of that does. I guess I am looking for specific examples of how much a spread of cost there could be using various designs, materials, and such.
