Hi Chris, this was very informative as I have made the decision that I want to build a barndominium.. oddly enough just south of Atlanta too (small world)... I kept reading post and seeing videos that they are cheaper to build that standard build homes and with inflated material cost, I just couldn't believe that.. I was thinking it would cost me around 430-450 cause all I can do is lay flooring, paint and hang things 🤣🤣. I am thinking of calling Barndominiums of GA just to have a conversation with ppl who build these regularly cause I also feel like I will get scammed by my dad's friends who are contractors
Crazy how small of a world we truly live in! I try to be as upfront and honest about these things because I feel there is a lot of misinformation. Unfortunately, we have found out the hard way (not all of the time but definitely a couple) that sometimes your friends forget those big favors you did for them. Finding the right subs can male or break you. Even after building my house and this barndominium, I just have finally found a good recommendation for subs. Good luck on your journey and don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
Yeah I’m a plumber in Mississippi. On a 2.5 bath slab rough in the max in my area would have been $2,500. That’s a “custom” price. They got you. You probably had $5-600 in material costs. I hate you got done that way.
We did not use their installer. Long story short, the salesman said they had installers but once the building was ready to be delivered conveniently he couldn't get in touch with them. We used Premier Buildings which is nothing more than a sales group. Schulte is the company that actually made the building. I would not recommend them again. When the installers started the framing, one entire bay the purlin holes were in the wrong spot. It took us a entire day to get the ok to redrill the holes in the proper place. Big fiasco and luckily we have a machine shop so we had the correct tools to fix.

Yeah it left a sour taste. Hard lesson to learn from but won't let it happen again
Can you share who you bought the red iron from? And did you use their installer?
