Many factors go into the cost of a box beam, dimensions, material selection, finish-work, and many more. However, a box beam is always more expensive than a solid beam. A box beam is constructed from a larger solid beam whose faces have been milled off to be used to build the new beam. The pieces have to be denailed, planed, lock mitered, glued up, and sanded to blend the seams. This creates extensive labor involved in crafting such a piece.
