Barndominium Construction
Most people are not sure what a Barndominium is so let's start by defining what it is. A barndominium is usually a steel building, sometimes quite large, that has room for both living quarters and a garage area, shop or even stables. Some of them are barn to home conversions even featuring a horse stable but many of them now are ground up construction of brand new homes. This can be a daunting task to navigate and having a knowledgeable contractor to guide you through the process will turn your dreams into a reality. Give us a call before you start and we can walk you through the many options you have and advise you on the many pitfalls also. Having the right foundation for your Barndominium will save you a lot of headaches down the road.
The majority of barndominium plans have a rectangular foundation allowing for a lot of customization. This coupled with the expansive open layout and high vaulted ceilings appeals to new owners. Customers love the barndominium because it offers a number of advantages over traditional homes:
How Much Do Barndominiums Cost? The second most common question after what is a barndominium is, "how much do barndominiums cost?" One of the reasons people choose to build this over a standard home is the lower costs involved. The average in 2020 is around $95 to $125 per square foot for a new build but can vary greatly depending on a few different factors. The biggest factor in cost involves how much of the construction you will do yourself. If you're hiring a general contractor for the job, expect costs to be closer to $125/sq ft. If you can take on that task yourself, expect major savings. But then again, saving a few dollars but sacrificing quality and having to hire a professional to redo the work is probably not the best route for most people. Most people want to know what a barndominium costs vs house in easy terms. Building a traditional home usually starts at $145 per square foot for an average sized house. A major part of that cost is the exterior framing of the walls and covering that with materials such as stucco or brick. An additional major cost is the roofing materials used. With the barndominium, you no longer have those costs but instead the primary cost with a barndo comes from the metal “shell” which typically includes a roof. This keeps costs significantly lower than traditional methods which adds a lot of value for homeowners. |
