I don't think there's anything out there that would even come close to "standardized pricing", especially when working on historical projects.

Our experience in north central Ohio indicates a new home with a new frame will finish in the $125 to $150 per square foot range. In general the frame/panel package will cost 35-40% of the overall cost and the timber frame is 70-80% of that amount. Conversions of historic buildings such as barns into a home can run significantly more.

Good luck with your projects and make sure the artists who effect them are well paid. Congatulations for understanding how important that is!
