Ahhh...those...they've no ceiling. Like mentioned above, some have foundations, stilts & retaining structures nearing the value of those they carry above.
Cost is a function of whims, needs, terrain, location, size, design, system, methodology, material choice, etc. Those factors are all open to bend except safety & quality(esp the vital utilities).
