Without going into depth on the roof details, generally speaking would a skillion roof be cheaper to get built than a standard hip roof?

I can post some plans soon if that will help.

The extension were doing on the house we have has an old roof with no trusses.
initially we were looking at marrying the new to the existing but im qurious about how much difference in cost there is in a skillion roof vs a standard if we were to re frame the whole roof again.

To me it looks simpler but then the higher wall of the skillion is also more to add on above the existing roof line.

any ideas?
