Barndominium Construction
If you're looking for a home with plenty of room, space to work and get dirty, perhaps it's time to consider a barndominium, or barndo. A barndo is just what it sounds likea barn that has been converted into a living space. Barndos have risen in popularity over the last couple years.
Barndominiums are barn-style buildings typically made from metal, steel, or wood that are used for residential purposes. Generally, barndominiums are large rectangular dwellings with open-living concepts, giving homeowners options for customizable floor plans. While some barndominiums are barn-to-home conversions, ground-up construction of barndos is quickly becoming a home trend, too.

There are several advantages to choosing a barndominium as your new home, including low maintenance needs, durable materials, and freedom to customize your living space.
Flexible Space: One great thing about barndos is their size and flexibility. Their typical open design allows you to use the space in a variety of ways and include unique home features that are customized to your lifestyle. You're able to design your floor plan to your likingwhether that's making space for a home gym, office space, etc.
Durability: Barndominiums are extremely durable! Their metal or steel shells help make them resistant to mold, rot, and the elementsmore so than a traditional home! Not only do you get peace of mind knowing your home is more protected, but you can also keep insurance costs low by having a barndo.
Low Maintenance: Traditional homes tend to be built with a wide array of materials that require upkeep every few years. Since barndominiums are usually built with strong base structures and metal or steel exterior walls, they tend to have a longer lifespan than typical homes.
Energy-Efficient: Most of the materials used to build barndominiums are environmentally friendly and can help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint. For instance, barndos typically use spray foam insulation, which helps regulate the internal temperature and requires less energy when heating your home. Metal roofing can also help reduce energy consumption and lower cooling costs.

Barndominium Construction
Ready to start building your barndominium, here's how to get started with the building process!
Purchase Land: One of the first things you'll need to do as you start building your barndo is purchasing the land your home will be on. Make sure the area you choose is large enough for your barndominium, and don't forget to consider any extra land that you may want for privacy, work, recreational activities, vehicles, pets, and more. Try property hunting a few different plots of land to ensure you get the right size for your household.
Plan the Layout: Before your barndominium is built, you'll need to ask yourself what your household will need to live comfortably now and in the future. How many bedrooms do you need? Will that change in five years? Where will the kitchen and living space be? How much space do you need for your work area? These are all things to consider so you can start building out a general floor plan.
Finish the Interior: Once the shell of your home is complete, it's time to finish the interior and complete the rest of your barndo. This includes things like installing wooden beams, plumbing, building a balcony, putting in cabinets, and more.
Figure Out Utilities: Utilities will be a major part of the barndominium building process. If you're located in a rural area, public utilities like water, waste management, and gas may not be readily available to you. In this case, you can have a septic tank installed for water and sewer access and a propane tank for gas access. You might also need to figure out how to heat and cool your home, so consider putting in an HVAC system or another solution.
Choose a Home Style: Just like a traditional home, you'll get to choose your barndominium's interior decorating style as you complete the building process. If you want to stick with the barn theme, you can go for a farmhouse or rustic barndominium look. Or if you like a more contemporary look, opt for a modern barndominium design.
