I'm building a cabin 16x24. 8' walls with a 16x10 loft. A have my windows and door for free. Building it on piers, walls 16" oc, roof 12 12 pitch. Haven't got an idea of material cost yet. Trying to figure the price, material only, to get it weathered in. Going to go back later at complete the interior. Exterior ruff cut board on board pine. Front porch 24x8. And ideas on material price. Ballpark figure of course.

All depends...on interior finishes, fixtures, choice of siding, insulation type, etc.

But to build a shell should be around $10/s.f. in materials or $3900.00
Includes roofing material.
Then add siding, again depends but figure $ 1.00/sf of wall on the low end, in your case about $800.
Insulation, fancy spray foam hired out around $2.00/sf of wall/ceiling area, in your case about $2400.00. Or the pink stuff DIY for around .60/sf or in your case about $700.00
So we're up to $5400.00 for a DIY shell dried-in, assuming free windows/door, low-end siding, and fiberglass insulation.
Interior finishes and fixtures can vary widely, even more so than the other stuff.

I would use $40-50 per s.f. for a finished price...that being said, there is a nice 16x28 cabin with porch completely finished inside and out for sale at Wood-Tex in Himrod, NY as a display model for $21,600 including delivery within 100 miles or around $50/sf.
Just add your foundation (piers) probably 12 for this size building, around here hired out they would be $120/each = 1440.00.
If I could "get away" with a 448 s.f. cabin I would buy this one in a heartbeat. I don't think I could beat the price doing it myself.
