Building a cabin in Canada can have different costs depending on the cabin type. A full scribe log shell type is usually pricier than timber frame or post and beam types. It might cost you between $90 Cad and $130 Cad for every square foot. So, if you're thinking about a 2,000 sq. foot cabin with 3 bedrooms, it could be anywhere from $180,000 Cad to $260,000 Cad.
