Utilities and permits vary A LOT depending on your municipality.
For my area in Louisiana I spent
$400 on permits
$215,000 on 27acres (that was in a flood zone so I had to build it up over time)
$1,800 Water meter
$3,500 Sewer system
$4,000 Electricity
The wind rating is 150 engineer stamped (that is the building alone without spray foam and framing on the inside)
The bathroom counters and sinks are included in the countertop price of this video. I guess I should have elaborated a bit more there.
I didn't include the appliances because you can spend as much or as little as you want depending on taste.
Link in the description to the blueprints for the home and the receipts.
Why would you waste money painting over the spray foam (ceiling) when you are not going to see it? Especially painting it black? It'll be a lot darker in the "attic space" if you need to make repairs later on. Should've left it white/yellow.
@@travelinman482 I’m not covering it. I left it exposed because I like the exposed look
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt I think he means the fact you painted the spray foam and then have a ceiling under it, unless you did not put a ceiling up in some areas of the house?
@@travelinman482 look up at any point when he's in the kitchen....
@@00M6TA The whole living room, kitchen, dinning room is all exposed. The only thing with ceilings is the rooms
I have no friends… so this would cost me $580,000.00 😂🤣 we should start a fake friend group to help build each other’s houses 😂
I will advocate for this! 😂
It's a real thing ! It's called Habitat for humanity
@@angelbailey1169 I will now spend the rest of my night researching how to join this habitat for humanity 🤣 thank you for the side quest my fake friend.
I feel your pain! So I would join "fake friends club". With the purpose of building for each other.
Where do I sign up for the fake friend home building group please? 😂
I just finished a total rehab on a 1,600 sqft 175 year old house. Spent just over $50,000 above the purchase price, and it was $79,975 total cost, for everything. So, your price is right on point. Mine isn't in the middle of nowhere though, sadly. Trying to sell!
Oh, wow!
Old houses are fun and thorough projects!
It's cool to see the difference in lumber and other building materials from back then.
Congratulations on a fantastic build and thanks for sharing with us!
It’s our pleasure to share and appreciate your kind words! Thank you for watching and supporting 😁
“Board and batten esthetic ” - nope. Mobile home esthetic. That’s a shame, because many other good choices, like Quartz countertops.
Good moves on the extra insulation. Nice home for the price. 👍🏼
That's what's great about this type of house, you can choose how to finish it.
Very impressive to get custom cabinets all through house and quartz tops all for under 13k
Love the ply walls!
Thanks, me too!
Sounds affordable.
It def is!
Stupid question, why use romex wire and not conduit? Almost every house I've worked on uses conduit.
Conduit in a wood framed house? I've never seen that. How would you even get the conduit to go horizontally in the wall?
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt you'll be surprised how calm it is in Chicago. Which is where I work.
How many square feet was this build again?
How much would it cost the normal guy to have someone do the electric and the framing and whatever else you did yourself ???
A general contractor quoted this build at $160k
A plumber in Chicago wouldn't even crap in your toilet for $2800
This comment wins the comment section for now 😂
...And That's what you/They get your living in Shitcago. Enjoy being a Slave the rest of your life.
@mortor235 +3200% more in Chicago Heights
And this is why no one wants to live in Chicago lol
A plumber in Chicago would crap in your toilet, clog it, then tell you with a straight face that you should definitely call someone to come out and take a look at your clogged toilet.
Man...forget the house, how much did it cost to obtain such great friends!? 😁
Lol, friends don't cost money. They are relationships that take time. Years of helping each other out and being there for one another.
Always give more than you take. Then there will always be a hand there when you need it.
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt that's funny I did all that and most of my so called friends haven't reached out to me for years now. Just used me and didn't even say thanks.
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Speaking of old friends, I gotta come down and visit!
@@drewsprague88 You definitely need to!!!
Friends come with “I own an air conditioning company”. Our builder fishes with the electrician who is cousins with the plumber and besties with the excavator. The great thing about that is all of them know each others work and being a small town, neighbors talk. It behooves everyone to do quality work-especially since the lender is also the inspector and knows all them guys.
Imagine if you had a $1 million dollar budget. That's 34 bedrooms,24 bathrooms,12 living rooms, and a 15-car garage on your 18k square foot home. Oh, i mean, fortress 😆
That would be absolutely wild!
Or... that would be 11 houses, sell 10 of them for $400k ea for a total of $4m and retire, or repeat as necessary.
If I had a $1 million dollar budget. 15-car garage 1 bedrooms and 1 baths

Add + $40,000 to the build cost if you're anti-social.
lol if you pay someone to build this for you you’re looking at $160k.
Or if all of your friends are useless idiots who couldn’t hold a paint brush if it was duct taped to their hand.
Lol, classic
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt that’s alll day 160 is light!!! My sis bout a prebuilt home for 190 . 160 is a steal . Idk if it can be done up here in New England I haven’t heard or seen but I have a feeling it can be done
@@WatUpOck Aside from permitting and snow load, I don't see it being much different.
They have stronger models of the metal building for increased wind and snow loads

This is the best home building video on the internet. You show exactly the information that most people want to know. Thank you.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the kind words and love that we encompassed everything and made it digestible.
I'm a licensed contractor. Great job on deciding what to hire out. And labor saving. One thing that you could have saved money on was the insulation all you need is 2 inches of closed cell foam in the walls and 3 inches on the ceiling. Because of the properties of closed cell there's no benefit to adding more. Also you are correct it is much better to hire sprayfoam out. And in most cases all the " good" sprayfoam applicators will run roughly at the same price
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
05:25 He says he put two inches of closed cell foam in the walls and on the ceiling as a vapor barrier, than 4 more inches of open cell on the ceilings.
@@FixItPleaseJ yes, and additional fiberglass insulation in the walls. More insulation is better in my environment
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt another contractor here. Spray foam is money well spent. My house has 5 to 6” and it’s way better than anything else because it’s completely sealed.
Thank you for being very detailed on the costs. Finally a video that is not a bait and switch type.
So happy you enjoyed it! We have a google doc in the description with the blue prints, layouts and receipts if you need anymore information on the build. Feel free to reach out for any further information.
Thank you for the support!
Your channel will definitely grow if you keep putting out content like this. This was outstanding and informative, the price breakdown is stellar and very beneficial to see and the video editing was good as well. Can’t wait to see what’s next..(I might just have to build a barndominium for myself, now).
Thank you so much! We have so many hours into our videos but this one especially. We hope to be able to make content as good as this if not better for years and years to come! Thank you for being apart of our journey
Thank you for proving that when you build your own, you don't have to accept the ridiculous prices of builders. This is the way.
I see no reason to spend $300k+ for a cheaply built spec house.
@DudeWeCanBuildIt
Especially when it's 10 feet from your neighbor. You did good, and as long as there's electricity, your business will flourish.
Lolz. He is the fucking builder.
@@nailbanger2 Thank you!
@@Ryan-xv3kc It's true!
I got my kitchen cabinets on Facebook marketplace from a family that was very clearly wealthy. They were custom made Oak with full wood sides and the knobs and hinges were also special ordered. There were tons of cabinets and even included a matching set for the laundry room. $300 bucks. Guys. If you can, always get used with these sorts of things. New isn't always better on a budget. (Also no scratches, they were remodeling and got new custom cabinets ordered and needed them gone, for context)
That's amazing! There's no limit to how resourceful you can be or how much you can save with some elbow grease!
Worked in condos. When the wealthy remodel they just want the old gone. I refurnished my entire apartment with furniture worth 20k +. Leather, hardwoods, china, crystal, quality silverware. Don’t care what anyone says, working for the wealthy is better.
That's awesome!
4:11 i did something similar with steel building. Due to possible penetration from flying objects during storm events I put 3/4 plywood along the entire exterior of the house framing inside the metal building with 8in walls 12 centers. Added protection and security!
What a beautiful decision to up the security on your home! Love hearing people with similar builds or plans for it. You guys rock!
Holy crap. You can fit a lot of insulation in an 8 inch wall.
@@GeneralChangFromDanang You certainly can!
I wonder how much it would cost to add concrete to the exterior walls. Insulated Concrete Forms, ICF, uses styrofoam and gets filled with concrete. Probably expensive enough that limiting it to a storm shelter room would be needed.
@@FixItPleaseJ
ICF is cool technology. I don't know what the cost is, but you will also need heftier footers
Very affordable and super nice. A 500-100 square foot condo where I live is easily 200k. Your place looks great! I think it's cool you spent extra on a couple things that mattered to you
Well thank you so much. It’s amazing what you can get for the price especially in today’s economy.
Thats what makes these things great! Strong, customizable and affordable. We appreciate the kind words!
Great story telling and editing. Very easy to follow and watch
Thank you so much! We greatly appreciate the kind words.
Thank you for this. My husband and I have a large family and we are planning on building a 5,850 sq ft barndo early next year that’s includes a 1,250 sqft shop space . We hoping to spend less than $600,000 which is our total budget. My brother-in-law is a contractor and is coming from out of state to help us. Hopefully we don’t lose our minds by the end of this.
That's a huge build! I wish y'all the best and you're fortunate to have a contractor in the family!
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt With 7 kids and my parents-in-law living with us. I can’t wait to get into a larger space. 😂 We outgrown our 2,000 sqft house. However, to get a larger house in this current housing market for under 650,000 in our area is like finding a needle in a haystack. Plus spec homes nowadays are cheaply made. Thankfully my brother-in-law is from Texas and has experience with Bardominiums.
Might be a good idea to start purchasing some materials now before inflation increases
@@alvindueck2104 Yeah, that’s our plan.
@bunnyblue9311 do a video of it
More than the building itself, most people can't get into the LAND; If you bought 10 acres where i'm from , it would almost be 1.2m.. Wells are a 14 month wait, and $60k.
I spent $215 for 27 acres and I'm on city water.
NOT NOT NOT tornado proof…
Tornado would rip roof off in a SPLIT SECOND….
Remember it is still a modified BARN….which is ALWAYS the first thing to go during a tornado
150 mph rating is an “insult”to a tornado
GOD BLESS AND PRAY YOU NEVER HAVE A GOOD OLD TEXAS TWISTER🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Nice build man, forgot to include cost of lot, septic, well. Also cost of permits to build. But 88k is definitely way better than 350k new homes being built rushed and bunch of mistakes!
Go check the pinned comment! I added it there. Wanted to focus on just the house in this video. We appreciate you watching!
New Subscriber ..... TOTALLY am IMPRESSED at how economically $$ you "sourced" your materials for this build .... I am a retired residential contractor in Massachusetts, and I KNOW the cost of building products in "my area" of the country .... (20 - 30% higher, here .... ) GREAT job !!!
And "Thank You" for posting this ....
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! I'm beyond happy that you enjoyed the build especially coming from someone that is in the trades.
This is so awesome!! What a good price! I love seeing how much each individual thing costs 😆
It really is! Thank you so much 😁
Remember, that’s his cost.. it’s not realistic when you don’t “know people in the trade”
@@1234ahhh1 The only things I saved on is the labor for the AC install and Electrical which comes out to 8K. That being said, a homeowner can do those trades themselves here in Louisiana. So, it actually doesn't change anything. Plus, if I had done the plumbing myself, it would save even more!
@@1234ahhh1 it’s “building a home for $87,000.” Not “I built a home for $87,000 and you so can YOU!” Let’s be real the general consensus of the video is you can get a lot more for a lot less than buying some new build for $400k with 12% apr for the next 45 years of your life.
You said you were an AC contractor as I recall….Maybe do a few videos on that work as well. Maybe talk through design, layout, steps you take, how to size a system, costs for different types of systems, different brands and your thoughts about them, custom vs a standard installs, parts, etc. With your cost breakdowns, we understand it’s dependent on the part of the country you live in, availability of equipment and so on. But, if you do a video breakdown the way you did with the house, that would be great!
I actually have a video in this playlist of installing the AC in this house, you should check it out and let me know what you think!
Why go through the hassle of building it yourself, only to cut corners and make it look like a double wide trailer inside...?!
This is what I like. You could do it how YOU like. Thats what's cool about these builds.
The real savings was doing a man-spec house...
Lmfao never even noticed this 😂
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Its funny cause its true! If a woman was involved it'd be 3x as much because she'd never have approved the structure, materials, and finishes! Everything would be custom and there would be a professional enabler (aka "designer") who is contracted out to figure out how to make things as expensive as possible.
Well done to you for making this happen for less than most people spend on their truck!
Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it’s very inspirational. I’m just beginning the journey to build something like this and I’m definitely taking some of your ideas.
Take all the ideas you can so you make the best decision for yourself! We appreciate you watching the videos and being along with us 😁
If you have any questions about anything please feel free to reach out!
Nicely done man. This is great content given the current market. There are so many of us looking for alternatives to the conventional unaffordable homes, and this is different than many other options I’ve seen. Great job
Thank you so much! The market for housing is criminal right now. Researched and found these types of homes and went for it. We already had a little experience in UA-cam so thought people should know that these options are out there. Happy that translated through the video! Thank you again for watching and supporting
It cost YOU $88,000 anybody else maybe $150,000. At least you acknowledged how you saved money. I say Legit, minus the ⛲ pond though.
Absolutly. We think the same, maybe around $160k for someone else to build. Not including permits and other things. Permits vary town to town, state to state.
And not a fan of the pond?
Thank you for watching! We genuinely appreciate it
Hey, I have been watching UA-cam for years. This is by far the best video I have ever seen in regard to content, knowledge, and just overall good information. Thanks
I appreciate the heartfelt comment! We have been making videos for 5 years and are always trying to get better!
Wow typically I can be a dick but this was a REALLY GOOD VIDEO. Great job and very informative. Thank you
How much extra would this build cost if you let a builder or contractor build everything?
Probably around $160k.
I did the general contracting and a lot of labor myself
That exact same build here in Miami would probably cost around $400k and that's if they allow you to build it because of the wind rating.
You can get these upgraded to 160 mph rating
Would you be able to purchase and bring home some stuff from a different state if it's cost savings enough when you're out on a road trip?
@@alvindueck2104 I don't see why not.
Barndominium - $87,000.
Plastic, head-sized bowl - $4.99.
Free self-haircuts for life - Priceless.
Thanks!
Is that a money saving tip in the summary at the end? Install quartz counter tops but then tell everyone it's granite? (12:10)
Quartz and granite are similar in price, but mine are quarts.
I’m sure you couldn’t care less, but your choices of interior materials makes that house look like a pre manufactured double wide. As long as you’re happy, who cares, right?
If it costed over $88,000, Why is title of video "Building a house for $87,000?
Because logic
Must be nice able to handle the most expensive part of the project yourself thanks to your company. You saved a hecking fortune.
It was a blessing for sure to be able to get it at cost.
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Dam straight! Well done. ❤
No doubt, & this video & _ALL_ the "cost to build" videos can never (HAVE never) give you the actual cost if you had s/one do the work for you, as *99.99%* of those who wish to build would require. In o/words, there's no way to really find out what a build will end up costing. Great video & good information...don't get me wrong, but still many unknowns.
@@Kman. I had a general contractor price out the whole build, turnkey, for $160k.
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt aHA, *THAT'S* what I (and most others) was looking for. Now, just to follow up & confirm s/thing though...
That *$160* number would be parts/labor for _E V E R Y T H I N G_ shown in the video...JUST as the home is shown in the video, "move-in" ready?
Should we decide on one, I'll see if I can secure a plan that includes a materials list, so a builder knows EXACTLY what he's be working with to get a HARD #. *Thx!*
this has got to be the most "single guy" house ever :D cool, but the materials and stuff all sound so ridiculously cheap... no way that could be done where I live at that cost. 15k for an entire metal building with shipping and install?! sheez...
Where do you live?
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Southern Finland... so yeah. Higher cost of living etc. I actually started looking into this idea after watching your video (have thought about it before as well, tbh, that's why I clicked). At 15k the best deal I could find was one third of the size, and included delivery of the material on site, but not assembly. Or roofing. Just assembly would probably cost a cool 10k.
Sheesh, that's a lot more expensive
From the plumbing and concrete pad to the finished product at that cost is pretty amazing.
I never thought of making one of those garages that is installed in one day into a house, lol ..a brilliant idea and probably half the cost of actually ruff framing a house of that size. All of your ruff framing andca complete structure in one day , cant beat that !
Thanks, it seemed like a great idea and I love the final product!
I chose the brushed bronze faucets for the bathroom for 60$ a piece for a total of 180$ l…🤣😅🤣 dude you are a liar this house cost you 200k+ stop gaslighting people into believing they can build a house like this for 87k yeah maybe thats what your material alone cost (which i highly doubt) but labor also your looking almost 300k
Lmao you’re cute. Have every receipt pinned in a google doc in the description. Go argue with that 😘
Bro didn't even clean that pipe after he cut it. Just primer glue and slammed together. 1:41
Jeez! De-burr your pipe!
I don’t disagree with this statement 😂
So add another 50-60k. To pay someone to install everything!
Pretty much! Would honestly cost around $160 to have it built for you
It would have been cheaper if you went two story. A 30x30 is alot less than a 30x50 building and alot less concrete. I have been planning mine for a couple of years and am breaking ground this fall.
The wind rating is the same
My home is going to be a single slope roof. It will be 24x60 ( 24x24 garage and 2300+ sq ft living).
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Please grab our email if you can send us update pictures if you can remember. A two story version would be so cool to see. Beyond happy for you. We know the feeling of starting all to well. The finishing is even more satisfying! Enjoy
You are right in line with what I am planning, 24x60 with 2 story living quarters. Are you working with an existing design or are you designing it? I've had a hard time finding examples that are close to that idea. Thanks.
@@Behine.DeChilis my restrictions is + 1700 living area. So 1700 ÷24 = 70. So 2 story would be 24'x35'. I would like my 3 main rooms to be at least 12' so 3x12 = 36. 24'×36' slab (1728 sq ft) would do . This doesnt take in account the garage and storage.

@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Lol, I bet he feels like a new man.
So for a non-handyman home owner, the cost is more like 100K...
Being next to a sizable body of water I understand going with a pad foundation,
Other than that, I prefer having a full foundation/basement.
But that's just my own personal preference.. basements are an awesome thing to have for many reasons.. if they won't be problematic.
We don’t have that option in Louisiana. 5ft up no matter what. No basements in site lol Would have loved to do something like that!
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt that's too bad, but looking at it from a reality perspective it makes sense being in Louisiana.
Basements in Louisiana, Miss or Alabama are rare. There are some in the Northern parts of these states; sometimes more of a half basement where the home is on a hill and the basement floor is an ground level for the back yard.
the design on the inside isnt very nice, but its awesome how you were able to build this yourself with some alternative techniques
The beautiful thing about these builds is you can make it look however you’d like on the inside. Super customizable.

This is a great video really, but not sure where these bids you're getting are coming from. I live in a medium size city in Texas and I got a quote for plumbing 1 bathroom - stub outs and septic for 13k dollars... A quote for a 33 foot faux beam for 7k dollars. drywall for 13k. Electrical for 10k. Not sure how anyone is supposed to be alive anymore. All this for a 42x16 shed.
Your prices are definitely higher than they are here. The electrical is the only one that seems reasonable.
My quote for drywall was 5k plus material, so I did it myself
8:20 - not having smooth walls makes that wall look like the walls in the cheapest mobile homes.
It does!
Good thing I like how it looks. If you were to build it, you could float the sheetrock for a smooth finish.
Good video but is it not missing a lot? Mirrors, dishwasher, bathroom counters, permits, utility hookups, all come to mind
This is the price breakdown for the house only.
Utilities and permits vary A LOT depending on your municipality. I can include those prices, but it would be misleading for anyone that doesn't live in the same area as me.
The bathroom counters and sinks are included in the countertop price of this video. I guess I should have elaborated a bit more there.
The dishwasher was $400. I didn't include the appliances because you can spend as much or as little as you want depending on taste.
I talked about the mirror in the walkthrough video. It's something I had laying around, so it didn't cost anything.
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Nice thanks for the reply
This is a great, well put together video and I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the inspiration!
What absolute kind words! Thank you so much. We genuinely appreciate you watching and supporting!
Compared to prices in Arizona- this seems very low. $6K for a 6 inch, 30x50 pad? I was quoted $60K for a 40x80 pad. Yikes!
That’s wild!
So if you don't have friends to do those things how much REALLY WOULD IT COST? $87,000 Mmm 🤔 and I live in Australia??
I do not know what the pricing is like in Australia. The more you are willing to do yourself, the cheaper it will be. The more you hire out, the more expensive it will be.
If you don't mind sharing, how much was the lot and utilities? Are you on public utilities or do you have well/septic, what about electric? Also how far away is your location from the closest city/suburb for access to services/amenities like groceries, stores, businesses, etc. I'm curious, because I want to do the same thing. It's hard to find a lot for a decent price that is anywhere near civilization. Low price lots are often super rural, and don't have access to water/sewer/gas/electric/internet/etc. In some cases it might take nearly that whole 80k budget just to get utilities ran to the property. Going off grid wouldn't be any cheaper.
I can tell you what it cost me, but depending on where you're at, the prices can vary A LOT!
Water meter $1800
Sewer system $3500
Electricity $4000
My house is 600' off the road. I buried the electrical conduit and water lines myself.

My goodness! I’ve heard everything is pricy up there
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Oh yeah, I'm converting a 14x40 barn to a tiny home and already spend 70,000$ and I still don't have my well, and the cabin is not completed as well as scam contractors. That doesn't count permits.
Move
@scottloftin1730 Barely making it work, my well for water is running me 35000$. My homestead is tiny compared to your build, just the land was 150,000, but most land is 350000$ and up, with no development on it.
@@heknows5418 There's no place to go, I'm in unorganized township, my taxes are 800/year, anywhere else is 6,500/year. I'm retired, I can't afford anything else, just running hydro was 21000$
What part of the country are you in? Really nice build by the way. Love your idea of digging the pond, then you have extra dirt. R 26 walls is double the normal. QUESTION; where in the country do you live that you can get away with a 12”x12” footing? You did a lot of planning to get this done, and I’m still shocked you did it this cheap. I built my house myself in 1987. 32x36’ two story with garage under the living space. Things were at least 10 times cheaper than today. So 37 years ago, I quit counting at $69,000 and it was still far from finished. It is a wood framed house but I did everything besides the brick chimney, and hired someone to hang 50 sheets of drywall in the ceilings and closets, (including a cathedral). Sub contract labor back then was $350.00 for 50 sheets. I did my foundation, slab, all framing, wiring, plumbing, flooring, etc. I used tongue and groove cedar in the living room, one bedroom, the office/Florida room. I used cedar trim inside and out on Dutch dormer windows. Outside was a beaded cypress siding but got tired of cleaning and sealing it, so vinyl sided over it myself, years ago. There’s so much more but don’t want to ramble. I’d say you pulled off a modern day miracle somehow, lol. I recently had an 18x35 building out up for my rv with a 14’ opening, enclosed on the sides and gables, but open on each end. Just the building was $7,200 and that was shopping around. Enjoy your new home.
I'm in Louisiana. The footings are engineered for this specific building. This style metal building does not weigh very much and does not need a huge footprint. I was quoted $5,000 to install 100 sheets of sheetrock. That's why I did it myself and used batten strips.
Can’t wait to see what y’all are building next!🎉
We are excited too!
dude u just ruined the video with the annoying background music!!! very interesting information..
Understandable lol
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt He speaks lies, music was chill! btw what state was this built in?
How big is the metal shell? I’m looking at doing this exact thing but I need around 1800-2k living space for a 4 bedroom. I also want another 1100-1200 ish for storage space for my equipment/atv/tractor.
Mine is 30x50 for a total of 1500sq/ft living space.
“Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.””
John 3:3
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
Those are beautiful verses.
Excellent breakdown and explanation. Thank you for taking the time to record it.
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch and support! We genuinely appreciate it
I do not belive that wind rating for one second
It’s engineer stamped 🤷🏽♂️ We can post a link to the plans. And that’s just the wind rating for the building. Not including the spray foam and framing on the inside. We are in hurricane valley we can’t afford to lie on a wind rating nore build something that couldn’t sustain those winds.
Only way we can prove it is once a hurricane comes through we can post update pictures 😂
@@DudeWeCanBuildIt I think the spray foam will definitely help. Hope you never have to find out though
We have a hurricane on the way. Will keep you updated
I have a 2300 sq. ft. barn next to my air bnb. I just raised the electric from 100 to 200amps. There is a concrete floor on the bottom floor, and walls that I need to install insulation, (walls removed already). Upstairs loft, I have new plywood set. To add plumbing for 2.5 baths and kitchen, reinforced walls for 2 bedroom (a wall might need to come down and rebuilt), and a staircase for the loft; how would I find the best price. Ceiling will need to be done. Love the B Board for the ceiling.
Get at least 3 quotes. Talk to the contractors and find one that is competent. Don't pay until the work is done. Material deposit may be required
@DudeWeCanBuildIt
Are you open to a phone conversation about this? I have something I’ve been working on that I think may interest you or at least I’d love some guidance.
Possibly. A phone conversation about what exactly?
Great breakdown!! Your house looks great!!
Thank you!!
Dude he built it!
Yes we did! Thank you for supporting 😁
Step 1, have a bunch of friends.... F...
I did most of the work myself. I had friends help when it was a 2 man job.
Curious about your choice of 34" wide interior doors which required custom order. Wouldn't it be cheaper and more functional (better access to move furniture, etc) to use standard 36" doors?
I wanted 36" doors everywhere, but I didn't have the space. I also didn't want to go down to 32" doors.
"How I Built A Barndominium Using My Friends and Saved Thousands of Dollars"
There, fixed your video title. You are welcome!
Lol, I hugely appreciate it!
Fire your barber bro
Never
He’s gotta keep them gold diggers away some how.
Exactly
Same one in California is $250,000
Just the permits alone is $75,000
And that’s if the city, county and your neighborhood approves it
Yeah I love visiting cali but I’d never live there. You’d spend $87k a year to rent someone’s bedroom out
Where did you build this. I might have missed that part. I thinking of building one in northern AZ as a weekend getaway/ part time rental@@DudeWeCanBuildIt
California, Illinois, New York (most of the NE actually). Taxes and fees to death.
@@Moco925 South Louisiana!
@@sburns2421 Don’t know how people make it out there
Excellent video! very well explained. Thank you!
No thank YOU for watching and supporting! We are beyond appreciative for any type of support
Cool look but I would DEFINITELY build a 1500 sqft gym prior to building a house (unless I was living outside lol)
That would be an awesome gym!
Perfect video.
So for roofs, standing seam is recommended because the screw down metal ones have the issue that after a decade or so, the screws get loose, lose their waterproofness and begin leaking. Is that not an issue with the sidewalls, the way you have them built ?
For insulation, since it is so cheap, any reasons to not double the wool insulation for a higher R value ? Did you put the same insulation in the roof ?
Why did you go for a custom size for your interior doors (since you built the framing, why not build it at a standard size and save with a standard door) ?
I will build a house next year, this video is very helpful, thank you.
Standing seam is ideal and expensive. I will have to replace washers every 10 years or so. It is not an issue on vertical surfaces and I'm building a wrap around porch.
36" doors are what I wanted. I didn't calculate enough room for the door plus the doorjam and trim, so I had to downsize.
it kind of bugs me that the title says 87 but the total was 88.
That’s fair
forreal lmao
This is awesome. Im a simple man and I definitely appreciate the options this build had to offer.
Glad you like it!
What about septic?
We left the dirt work and septic stuff out thinking it wasn’t relevant to the actual build but everyone seems to want to know. We will put it in the comments soon and I’ll tag you in. Sorry about that
Septic prices are depending on your county.. I paid for mine $9300 concrete tank, bed installation and county permits/inspection in South San Antonio tx.. but the mobile homes sales office I got info from quoted us $15,000.
I would have sprung for regular professional sheetrock . The mishmash of different sidings in different rooms looks wonky and DIY, especially that plywood in the guest room. Otherwise, good job!
That’s the thing, when someone else builds something similar they can tape and float that Sheetrock until their hearts content! These things are so customizable to each persons wants and needs. Thank you for the kind words tho we really appreciate it!
Real Barndominium have steel framing 2 to 4' thick concrete footing. This would be a extremely cheap building. There no way to purchase land materials drafting, engineering and fees at that price. This guy is lying about the cost.
My receipts are linked in the description. Check it out
@1:00 50' X 30" seems really small. 🤣
😂
It's 1500 square feet.
Normal size house around here.
I know, but you have 30" instead of 30'. That's 37.5 square ft 😂
@@skinsegan Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Must have been an Easter egg in the video!
Good find!
This is a bit misleading. You acknowledge you did a ton of work. while that is nice it doesn't show that this is cheap. It seems we would have to add 100% or more for the average person who didn't have friends or the ability to do carpentry, plumbing, HVAC installations, etc.
If you paid someone to build this it would cost around $160k. That’s still cheaper than most mobile homes these days.
If you don't have the ability to do framing and other trades, check out the rest of the playlist. I have in depth tutorials on framing walls, building concrete forms, installing windows, and pretty much everything that I did myself on this build!
Bro this is youtube. The goal of most creators isn’t to be factual. The goal is to get clicks and make ad revenue
Then there's those of us who can, and understand the pricing and see this as a pretty realistic breakdown.
Thank you
Nice build!
Thank you!
With the extra insulation in the walls and the open insulated ceiling, how is temperature regulation? My wife and I want to buy a Bardominium. Also, did you have to go through anything special because of the house being a Barndominium?
The temperature regulation is fantastic, I haven't had an electric bill over $70.
I did sit down and talk through the process with the building inspector before I began construction to make sure everything would pass inspection
$8k to wire a house... $7k on all the AC.. OKAY. These prices don't mean anything to a normal person. The electrical would be triple and the AC work double to triple for a normal person.
I'm not sure where you are, but these are pretty on point here. Add $4k to each for Labor if you are hiring out the whole job.
Not sure who is charging you $14k - $21k for an AC system. We usually charge $10k - $12k for new construction. Bigger companies around here do spec houses for under $7k all day. They use contractor grade equipment and have massive accounts. We can't even purchase the equipment for what they do the install for.
What area do you live in?
Great video! Custom cabinet maker here… Those are not “custom” cabinets. You may have a few custom sized cabinets, but those are very basic. For the linear foot of cabinetry you had, most custom cabinet shops would run you over 20k. Sounds and looks like yours came from a production shop. And that’s a great value choice! But I wouldn’t call them custom.. people will be quite surprised when they contact an ACTUAL custom cabinet shop and the quote comes back as double or more of the price of your cabinets.
Great information!
As someone who has put kitchens together with store-bought cabinets, this definitely seems custom fitted to me LOL.
I definitely see what you mean, there are no recessed into the wall cabinets or anything specialized about my cabinets.
Love it!!!!
We love YOU!
Let’s go!
