What Is a Barndominium?

First things first—what exactly is a barndominium? A barndominium, or “barndo,” is a metal or timber-framed structure that combines the aesthetic charm of a barn with the modern functionality of a home. Think open layouts, soaring ceilings, and plenty of customizable options. Oh, and they’re super affordable compared to traditional homes!

Barndominiums can serve as residential homes, vacation retreats, event spaces, workshops, or even offices. They’re versatile, efficient, and ideal for anyone looking to think outside the (traditional home) box.

Barndominium Kits – Start Simple

If you’re just getting started, a barndominium kit is your new best friend! These kits provide the foundation for your build, including the frame, roof, and exterior walls. They come with pre-engineered materials, making your build more straightforward and cutting down on costs.

  • What’s included in a barndominium kit?

Most kits include metal framing, beams, wall panels, roofing, and all the hardware you’ll need to construct the shell of your barndo. Some even have windows and doors included!

 

  • How much will it cost?

Kit prices can range from $10,000 to $90,000, depending on the size and features. For example, a popular option like a 40×60 barndominium kit can start at around $35,000 and go up depending on your preferences.

How to Build Your Barndominium Without Breaking the Bank

Okay, real talk—what’s this going to cost? While barndominiums are known for affordability, it’s important to budget wisely.

Barndominium Construction Costs

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Basic Shell (Frame, walls, roof): $25,000–$50,000
  • Interior Build-Out (Plumbing, wiring, floors, finishes): $50–$100 per square foot
  • Extras (Custom flooring, fancy fixtures, landscaping): Varies

For context, a 1,500-square-foot barndominium might cost around $100,000–$150,000, while $250,000 could get you a much larger and highly customized home.

Pro Tips for Staying on Budget:

  • Opt for metal frames over timber—metal tends to be more affordable.
  • Use simple designs without too many customizations.
  • Source materials locally to save on shipping costs.
  • Compare quotes from multiple contractors.

Fun Fact: With a $100,000 budget, you can build a 1,500-square-foot barndominium with mid-range finishes. Bumping your budget up to $250,000 could allow for over 2,500 square feet of space—a barndominium fit for a king!

DIY vs. Hiring Professionals

Feeling ambitious? DIY-ing parts of your barndominium can cut costs significantly. However, not every aspect of the build lends itself to a DIY approach.

When to DIY:

  • Decorating and interior finishing touches
  • Landscaping or creating outdoor spaces
  • Installing cabinets or shelving

When to Call the Pros:

  • Foundation pouring (You definitely want this done right.)
  • Framing and structural engineering
  • Plumbing and electrical work
