However, in this post, we are not going to talk about choosing a framer but rather how to reduce costs of framing house. A lot of it comes down choosing a design that makes sense.

As you can see, after all, framing is the most expensive line item often when building a house. So when looking to shave off the cost of your build, do a simple shape.
