I see a lot of people complaining about the cost and that it's out of their range and I have a feeling any type of home this size and quality would be out of their range. I do think this Barndo is slightly high for a post frame but, within the range for a home this size. We are building a 40x84x12 red iron weld up Barndo and had our shell built by our builder but, we are doing 95% of everything else inside ourselves. We just finished interior framing and spray foam and are sitting at about $165k. We hope to be able to finish with mid range finishes for another $80k- $100k again with us doing 95% of the work. Our all in cost will be around $275k +/- a couple of thousand. The lowest quote we got to have a builder finish the whole Barndo was $420k so, we are saving at least $150k on labor. There is no magic that makes building a Barndo cheaper than any other style of home, building supplies still have to be paid for and contractors still have to be paid.
And location is a huge factor. Labor will be more in an area with a higher cost of living + some materials are higher depending on where you are at. All in all your barndominium will run very similar to another custom home with the same level of finish. The hope is that it’s built better + lower maintenance which saves over time.
Remember when barndos were coming onto the scene. They were cheap and affordable. But like anything else where human behavior is involved the price began to rise and hasn't stopped. Guy earlier in the day in another post did one where he was both homeowner and builder with lots of friends helping him. The cost was about half of what this person paid. All depends on the circumstances.
seeing that the cost is this much for a sheet metal house with no foundation or basement and while doing all the work your damn self is making me rethink building one. dont forget i have to buy the land also and i want a 60x80 so if its going to be over 300k for barndo and land, i may as well just go buy a used house thats already remodeled and turn key ready to move in for around 300k. its crazy to me building your own house costs more then buying one already built and remodeled. it should be much cheaper to build your own home, this eonomy is completly scrwed we have to fix this country its so unaffordable im 34 and still never owned a home and thats probably 90% of people my age and younger have never owned a home. we should all be able to afford a basic 3 bedroom home on a average salary. the 300k per home the same home 5 years ago was 125k
I never seen any home build step by step and show you the costs adding up as they progress.... very interesting and they're actually showing the materials being used. I would have to take into account other bottom line costs.... Insurance, annual property taxes, appliances, and so forth....I like this Barndo👍👋
I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this before, but it would be awesome if on the right corner, you would show the a day counter, that way it shows how long did the build took.
Great vid! I DEFINITELY want to do this when I retire in 4-5 years (I'm 60). I will have enough in my 401k to pay of my existing house (it'll probably be worth about $480k by then, so, I'll find some land and put something like this on it. Maybe a bigger garage, and smaller housing part since I'm single.
What can I do to convince you to come to Ohio to build for me? Your attention to detail and pride in your work is second to none! I'm looking for to build a true post frame barndo approximately 2700 to 3000 square feet, with a approximately 1800 square foot shop, radiant floor, etc. I'm tired of the custom, suburban builds. They all look the same. I have a 3.5 acre parcel zoned rural residential and significant budget to work with! Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. I've learned so much from you build videos!
Owning your own massive shop with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms home for under a quarter million is nothing to scoff at lol. You can't find that much anywhere in the US very easily anymore. Not w/o massive renovations. edit: I didn't see it says at the very end the homeowners are all-in at $360k. Still, not bad whatsoever.
anyone else it would have been 450-500k, the point was exactly as you stated... there is no such thing as a modest budget anymore. Sell everything I own so I can afford a home with a 2k a month payment on, to house the stuff I sold to live in the home.
I agree!! Had my heart set on a barndo because of less maintenance, cheaper to build than stick built, safer, no load bearing walls, and I love how they look. But now my hopes, heart and dreams are dust. Guess I'll be staying in my old dilapidated shack.
@@MikeGusFifteenThe issue with building is that you need much more money upfront and it's often hard to find a lender for a construction loan that rolls into mortgage. It's easier to buy these finished or another house for that matter and just need a mortgage. Not to mention, if you don't have the land already that's always a major expense unless in the middle of nowhere low income state. Then you have to worry about how much running utilities to you will be and that's VERY expensive
Sorry to hear that. There’s a lot of ways to build these. DIY is definitely most folks way to get what they want on their budget. There are ways that this project could have been done for less, but obviously it wouldn’t have the same maintenance, efficiency, etc.
Homes aren’t for the working class. Even studio apartments are out of reach. Many will be living in pods with communal common areas. That is the new American dream.
At that price point u might as well build a block home? Also, how would steel building hold up during a tornado and hurricane? I live in central florida. so this would be a big issue for me.
The structure would be engineered to withstand the wind load for your area. We do see post frame + steel frame is popular- some of the decision comes down to the style that someone is trying to achieve as well. Here in Iowa our wind load is not as high and we have snow load considerations. Build location will dictate best practices, etc.
I would like to see a cost break down of materials , labor and if you are doing it yourself or had to hire a contractor and land price plus appliance My guess is friend labor and self labor is the biggest cost savings if you have that asset if not it’s a huge cost
How much should we figure in for a family of 4 for well(water filtering) and sewer? Also, have you ever done RV hookups for guests on a property? We are centrally located in the US so it would be cool if friends and family can stop by and stay for a week or 2
If you can have a conventional septic system you are looking at 10-15k. Wells are all over the place depending on the depth you have to go to get to water.
I am interested in learning about how to start and learn all the ins and outs of? This will be me and my husband's very first purchase of a home we're in Ohio
There is no $22K in metal in this building. Even if it was 24Ga it would not be. 29Ga is what they use and it's less than $1 sqf at any National manufacturer. Even with trim and profile it will not be more than $10K for all walls/ceiling etc. This building should cost around $90K in materials if you just buy without shopping around. $70K labor - insane. Maybe $25-30K for helpers and equipment.
@escapetarkov3838 his prices seem to be inflated to help his pockets. Seems like a good scheme he's got going to pocket extra money... must've learned it from the government
I realize it would change the style, but do you think there could be a cost saving with 48x80, rather than the 48x40 +40x40? It's an interesting proposition...
It can be a good option if you’re hiring a bigger builder who’s going to send a crew through- less detail work so less room for error. Or diy you might find a single roofline easier to handle. Material wise it won’t make a ton of difference in this case if anything a little more since your trusses would be bigger and you’d have more height on the panels.
Don't let this video discourage you. I've been building pole barns not " barndo yuppie miniums " for 24+ years. I just built a 34x30 monitor style barn with slab. Windows, doors, wainscoting, blued pine board and batton for $12988.
Steel is actually pricier right now than wood frame. Location + how much DIY are big influences in cost. Folks should also keep in mind that cheaper doesn’t always result in the best outcome, lots of variables + folks can choose what works best for them and their budget
40x48=1920 sq ft main plus 40x32=1280 garage. So based on current 3D printed concrete shell with all insulation plumbing and electrical and yes pads included for $40 sq ft. So 1920+1280 x40==$88000 add roof and finish interior.
That’s great if that’s in your area- haven’t come across anyone that actually has gotten that price for all of that even in other parts of the country.
This is very nice but definitely overpriced. I know inflation plays a part but here in central North Carolina I bought 7 acres.......had a custom built traditional 3100 square foot 2 story house and a separate detached workshop in 2020 ....all in for $370k.
Location matters + 2020 was right before pricing on things drastically changed. Some things have doubled in cost since then. Southern states are normally running less expensive for building than where we are outside of Des Moines
2:04 the fact we're at 15 grand at this stage is making my stomach churn lol.. Ya'll remind me when I get my house built in a few years to make sure it's on land already prepped for a home, lol. I've seen some already, so here's hoping some will be available in a few years when we plan on starting our planning process, lol EDIT: Ok the ending price isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I am disappointed that the framing for the 2nd floor isn't included in this 🤔
Barndominiums, affordable for low income folks? I think not. And the American dream continues to die. Even if I went much much smaller than this. Me and many others still could not afford this. 😢
I feel you understand. Idk how many bedrooms this was but I have 4 kids so with the wife and I we have a family of 6 and we would need this size probably but not that big of a garage. 2 cars garage is what we would need but a lil bigger for me so I’m not sure on that size
Yes for multiple reasons. If it’s going to be the finished floor best to do as late as possible, less traction and damage. I also like to drive through the middle of the build to put up the trusses. I don’t have to drive on the concrete.
Without sheathing, not even on the corners, then how do you plan to keep the house from racking in the wind? Did you apply sprayfoam to the back of the Tyvek.....so your sprayfoam is free floating and non structural?
Most of the shear strength is from the 2x6 perlins and the diagonal bracing on the inside at the corners. The sheet metal on the outside and spray foam on the inside add additional shear strength.
Did I miss the electric installation? It's not bad for 220K even though 15K wasn't accounted for. Um, my biggest problem with this build is the studs and how far apart they're. I best this house has horrible settling issues
I want to say my dad’s build is 1800 sqft that’s a two bed and a shop that’s majority of the house. 80k for the ground work concrete shell. Little over 1 acre lot rolled into mortgage their out about 160k total for the build. Nothing crazy but definitely reasonable considering how it came out. This is in Oklahoma as well.Also if your on here comparing shit hole Cali prices to anything on yt barndo builds obviously your going to say everything is a good deal lmao
Location, materials used, diy, and finish level can make pricing fluctuate drastically. All of our builds have the ability to be cheaper or more expensive as is true with any type of construction.
Steel is historically more expensive- it is higher now. Labor isn’t going to be a lot less either. Steel frame homes still have a great deal of wood framing normally so if termites are a problem that won’t solve it
@@MrPostFrame They are prefabricated and you aren't charged for as much on-site labor, you don't need roofers or trusses, and 6 months is the max build time, whereas 6 months is the minimum with a conventional house. The real concern with termites is them eating away the frame, so no, it won't solve it but you'll never have to replace a load bearing wall. 70K for a 60 x 40 x 22 delivered to job site you can get it standing on a slab for 180K. Finished and framed for about 250K if you know what you're doing, and that's a huge building.
@@MrPostFrame I just had one built in north GA. I'm not a builder. That was the price breakdown though. I used General Steel, maybe you could use them to offer that product.
The counter isn’t meant to be matched up at any point during the project which is why we have the total and breakdowns at the end of each stage or the end of the video.
At the end of the day living space is living space. Whatever level of finish a person chooses they’ll be spending the same whether it’s in a barndominium or another type of home.
People are complaining about the cost but when you really think about it- its really REALLY good for a house that is BRAND NEW. Id hate to pay 400,000+ for a house built in the 50s/80s 🤣
It’s definitely important to consider location when it comes to cost! Also unless someone is really well versed in construction they won’t understand some of the material differences that could make a house more/less expensive. I agree- it’s not a bad price for something brand new!
Exactly. And this is a home. Aside from a couple of things nothing else will be less expensive because it’s a “barndo” to live it in you still need a kitchen, bathroom, doors, trim, etc.
Thank you! This set expectations better than any other video I've seen related to Barndominiums.
One of the best well documented videos and levels of transparency that I've ever seen on UA-cam for a Barndominium. Great Job.
were land and labor included? thanks

I'm curious to know how much extra the interior built out will cost. Framing out the bedrooms, the kitchen, living spaces, bathrooms, staircases, etc.

You should do a break down
What’s the price turnkey? I know it depends on the appliances but I’m talking electrical, sewage, water?
Client was all in around $360k
@@MrPostFrame that ain’t bad at all! I’m in California & our homes are 900K on a 7000ft lot. Crazy!
You can see how a skid steer pays for itself pretty quickly.
How long from start to finish?
Nice video keep up the good work
Why I’m guessing the ground there is really sturdy so no need for a traditional poured foundation?
Doesn’t look like it can handle snow loads. Supports are far apart and plywood on roof seems that it’s not supported well.
You can have a palace for this in most of rural Europe

what is the total cost if this was to be done in bay area northern California
Quadruple that at least. Permit alone will take a year plus and be over $100k probably.
Do any barndominiums have basements?
Top notch video the best build Timelapse I have seen. You mentioned concrete in the numbers did that include a slab pour in the inside?
Yes, 5" slab inside and then usually 4" for the porches.
That’s not bad for everything. Will that be expensive in California huh? 😣
What is concrete without reinforcement?
Don't let this video discourage you. I've been building pole barns not " barndo yuppie miniums " for 24+ years. I just built a 34x30 monitor style barn with slab. Windows, doors, wainscoting, blued pine board and batton for $12988.
What was the timeline for this build from start to finish?
March-October
What state is this in? Nice work!
Iowa and thank you!
How do I start if I want to build post frame for a living
Awesome video
Thank you!
I’m sure they can find cost cut solutions and keep it around $185,000 ! Depending location city and state !keeping it full steel !
Steel is actually pricier right now than wood frame. Location + how much DIY are big influences in cost. Folks should also keep in mind that cheaper doesn’t always result in the best outcome, lots of variables + folks can choose what works best for them and their budget
did you miss buying the land and running all the hook ups/ permits for all that too?
The land and site prep were things handled by the client. Permits were about $500-600
Is this house plan on the website?
I feel like I past this house going to Costco in Illinois coming from Wisconsin
40x48=1920 sq ft main plus 40x32=1280 garage. So based on current 3D printed concrete shell with all insulation plumbing and electrical and yes pads included for $40 sq ft. So 1920+1280 x40==$88000 add roof and finish interior.

Another awesome build. Great video!!! Willing to build a Mad County down in Florida?
Haha would be nice when it’s winter here! There are some post frame builders down there. Nfba.org you can search their database
garage needs 1 or 2 more double garage doors distance added more bays.
This is just the shell & structure without any finish work?

Can this be done with steel bars instead of wood?
I was wondering that too. Will it be cheaper with steel?
@@fireguard11 I was asking for strength. Because these hurricanes and tornadoes are getting worse!
Yes you could build this steel frame.
Historically steel frame is more expensive than wood framing.
How much was the Lot? how much was the driveway?
I ask because a lot with nothing on it goes for like 200k...

I’m thinking slab concrete for vehicles & equipment
is this a certain floorplan or custom?
It’ll be on our design website soon! But you can email our team at Back Forty Buildings if you’d like to check it out.
Hello@backfortybuildings.com
what are the total sq ft of the House? and Garage? thanks this is awsome info.
House is a around 3000sq ft and garage is 1280sq ft.
And the interior build-out is how much....
This is through interior framing. Client spent a total of $360k on the project with the septic, finishing, garage insulation, etc.
Build plan ?
Dead serious, can you please come to MA and build me one?
you get what you pay for this place is beautiful .
Barndominiums, affordable for low income folks? I think not. And the American dream continues to die. Even if I went much much smaller than this. Me and many others still could not afford this. 😢
I feel you understand. Idk how many bedrooms this was but I have 4 kids so with the wife and I we have a family of 6 and we would need this size probably but not that big of a garage. 2 cars garage is what we would need but a lil bigger for me so I’m not sure on that size
Look at the video description. This is a really big one. Also, you can save money by doing things yourself and in other ways.
they call it the american dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.
Agree, there is no affordable home right now. Even tiny homes are in the $100ks 😮
Barndos are not low income. Living in a barn is, but not a barndos. Too expensive
$220k before the pad is insane

Insanity

yeah i don't get that flooring at all or the method of doing it last.
Yes for multiple reasons. If it’s going to be the finished floor best to do as late as possible, less traction and damage. I also like to drive through the middle of the build to put up the trusses. I don’t have to drive on the concrete.
@@MrPostFrame so if you have a full basement I am guessing you need to rent a crane to set the trusses or are there still other ways to do it?
Someone better get on it.
Interesting.
Without sheathing, not even on the corners, then how do you plan to keep the house from racking in the wind?
Did you apply sprayfoam to the back of the Tyvek.....so your sprayfoam is free floating and non structural?
The house gets its shear strength from the metal. Then extra shear strength from the 3” of closed cell spray foam.
Most of the shear strength is from the 2x6 perlins and the diagonal bracing on the inside at the corners. The sheet metal on the outside and spray foam on the inside add additional shear strength.
The american dream is dead. Thanks joe biden.
Well this shutdown all my hopes of getting one
I don't need anything this tall, and a massive garage , don't need that tall either.
Did I miss the electric installation? It's not bad for 220K even though 15K wasn't accounted for. Um, my biggest problem with this build is the studs and how far apart they're. I best this house has horrible settling issues
I want to say my dad’s build is 1800 sqft that’s a two bed and a shop that’s majority of the house. 80k for the ground work concrete shell. Little over 1 acre lot rolled into mortgage their out about 160k total for the build. Nothing crazy but definitely reasonable considering how it came out. This is in Oklahoma as well.Also if your on here comparing shit hole Cali prices to anything on yt barndo builds obviously your going to say everything is a good deal lmao
Location, materials used, diy, and finish level can make pricing fluctuate drastically.
All of our builds have the ability to be cheaper or more expensive as is true with any type of construction.
This is why it's better to go steel, cutting all those boards, measuring everything out not worth the labor cost on a barndo. Also no termites.
Steel is historically more expensive- it is higher now. Labor isn’t going to be a lot less either.
Steel frame homes still have a great deal of wood framing normally so if termites are a problem that won’t solve it
@@MrPostFrame They are prefabricated and you aren't charged for as much on-site labor, you don't need roofers or trusses, and 6 months is the max build time, whereas 6 months is the minimum with a conventional house. The real concern with termites is them eating away the frame, so no, it won't solve it but you'll never have to replace a load bearing wall. 70K for a 60 x 40 x 22 delivered to job site you can get it standing on a slab for 180K. Finished and framed for about 250K if you know what you're doing, and that's a huge building.
Are you a builder? Where at? We are always looking for options for our clients in other area.
@@MrPostFrame I just had one built in north GA. I'm not a builder. That was the price breakdown though. I used General Steel, maybe you could use them to offer that product.
materials prices seem pretty high
Location can impact costs. Theyre lower than they were a couple years ago but still a lot higher than prior to 2020
Shit, I just spent $70K for a deck with a cover. This price sounds pretty good to me.
We think so too!
Very hard to believe at one point the cost is $51,203 when I can literally count the number of 2x4's being used. I don't believe this is accurate.
The counter isn’t meant to be matched up at any point during the project which is why we have the total and breakdowns at the end of each stage or the end of the video.
It was very affordable until it was made trendy by upper class.. but if you do your research you can still get it right and have lots of of room.
At the end of the day living space is living space. Whatever level of finish a person chooses they’ll be spending the same whether it’s in a barndominium or another type of home.
@@MrPostFrame ok
Well what's price to finish interior?
The clients all in cost was $360k
People are complaining about the cost but when you really think about it- its really REALLY good for a house that is BRAND NEW. Id hate to pay 400,000+ for a house built in the 50s/80s 🤣
It’s definitely important to consider location when it comes to cost! Also unless someone is really well versed in construction they won’t understand some of the material differences that could make a house more/less expensive.
I agree- it’s not a bad price for something brand new!
Wish I had that kind of space, it's hell to be poor.
These aren’t for the working class. We gotta live in tents and vans now. Even folks making 100k a year are homeless in many places.
I'll take $100k a year! But I see what you mean; the dollar is going down in value more and more...
360 all in and I’d sell for 550-600k and repeat
Yeah most of our clients do end up with instant equity!
So what this tells me is unless your rich this will never be on a normal persons to do list.
WAy to Much for that cheap build!
$220k for a shell of a building? You can easily add another $150-$200k for the slab and interior/finish work.
My Credit Union won't finance a Barndominium.
Expensive.
beautiful but not affordable for the regular working class people
Nooooo i can go 400k with a 5200sq ft modular with a full basement and a 50x60 pole barn for that
That’s great for you! Prices vary based on location, finishes, and other factors.
To be fare if i bought a normal house this big would have cost me 300 to 400k so that not bad
Exactly. And this is a home. Aside from a couple of things nothing else will be less expensive because it’s a “barndo” to live it in you still need a kitchen, bathroom, doors, trim, etc.
