they're about breakeven when you go overkill like you did. and got a couple of contractors who gouged you on the prices. thanks for sharing your experience, helps us all learn!
We had Askew Well Drilling. I believe he sold the business a few months ago but not sure who bought it. You may want to check with Middle Georgia Water and Waller Wells.
And here i am trying to do an 80x60x20 ( 9600 liveable sqft before walls and such ) with 12 separate 1 bed / 1 bath / 1 kitchen units, for under 400k ( not counting land ) in florida, and i have nearly 0 help with labor. Some big differences may help me, however. We shall see.
Fannie Mae has 5% down on multi-family 2,3, and 4 unit properties and I was thinking about building them using a Barndominium. You are supposed to live in one of them for a year. If you could build one a yr for 10 yrs you would have 40 units worth over 10 million.
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 bought through Premier Building Systems. They are just a middle man for Schulte Buildings. I think Premier is in Braselton and Schulte is in Alabama
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.
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.
Thinking about kitchens 100 years ago there were not kitchens like they have today.. So with that in mind there are a few things I would do much differently and FAR LESS MONEY.. I would put in a larder A huge room with Ventilated shelfing Yes just a big pantry with all of the mechanical and open shelving so I can see exactly what is in there. I figure $1000 for shelving in its own room beat the heck out of 28000 plus in kitchen cabinets.. Yes I would still have some cabinetry for a place for the sink dishwasher and cooktops etc. I would also put in a 4 x 4 island for doing baking. Just my two cents or perhaps $2000 It is amazing how many linear feet of counter tops can be installed in 20 ft of space
@@zacklynch6939 remember they used the most expensive way to frame up the house.. RED IRON. They went with an excessive amount of concrete they over did the insulation and 5 tons of AC is perhaps 2 tons more than they needed.. They also should have insulated under the concrete as that is where 2 tons of ac are being sucked out of the building
@ericknazik7739 just over 91 yards just for slab, take in the piers and footers plus the porches which have footers all around them and the apron areas and driveway portions. Concrete around here was around $200 yard. Not to mention the building is 5000 psi.
That is exorbitant cost with a lot of labor costs deleted!!! I can see no advantage over having a conventional house built with ALL the labor included too especially when I'm 67 years old!!!
Build prices for a finished home here in ETX are about $180/sq-ft for living and $30/sq-ft for shops. 1800 would cost 324,000 and the 3600 sq-ft shop would cost around $108,000. So a total of $432,000. So you technically came out ahead by about $37,000. I think what everyone is freaking out about is that the price of homes have risen like 30-40% over the last 3.5 years. Vote for Trump ;)
It is crazy how much prices have gone up. We built a house right at 2900 sqft back in 2019 finished it in 2020 for $250,000 not including land. That wasn't building it as cheap as we could either. Custom cabinets, lvp and tile throughout, custom master shower. Not mention we have 800sqft of porches, just under 700sqft of garage and another 500sqft unfinished bonus room.
@@LivingwithCable that’s what happens when your government prints 7 trillion dollars in one and a half years and the US dollar loses 40-50% of its value. Crazy stuff. Those rich men north of Richmond have devastated an entire generation of home buyers/builders.

Why do you have to trash on someone's house. Does it not occur to you that people have different wants and needs? You don't have to live in it so shut your face-hole.

give consideration to doing wood plank walls.. once and done.. no painting past the initial stain.. no dust from the shitzrock.
Beautiful build, can you do a tpur through the house video?
I still need to do a updated tour but mainly small touches have changed since this

The difference between a house and a barndaminium is the external cladding type.
Can you share who you bought the red iron from? And did you use their installer?

LMAO. 46k for concrete
Way too expensive
Did you say the concrete cost you 46000 dollars???????????????
Yes 60x90 slab with 5.5" thick including the porch, aprons and the 2 drive on portions that extend out
How many yards all together for that I hope it was at least 200 +
A 60x90 is less than 100 yards
