Barndominium Construction

What This Service Involves

Barndominium construction blends the open, durable shell of a post-frame or steel building with a fully finished home interior. The wide-open spans give you flexible living areas, shops, and storage under one efficient roof. We insulate and detail the envelope carefully so the structure stays warm, dry, and mold-free through Puget Sound winters. It is an increasingly popular choice for rural Western Washington lots that need living space and workspace together.

Benefits

Wide clear spans for flexible living and work areas; Durable, low-maintenance metal or post-frame shell; Efficient combined home-and-shop footprint; Envelope insulated and sealed for wet PNW winters; Often faster to enclose than traditional framing

Our Process

1) Design the shell layout and interior floor plan; 2) Set the foundation and erect the post-frame or steel structure; 3) Insulate, wire, plumb, and finish the interior; 4) Complete exterior details and final inspection

What Affects the Cost

Building footprint and ceiling height; Shell type, whether steel or post-frame; Interior finish level and room count; Insulation and moisture-control detailing; Site access and foundation requirements

Best Time of Year

Erecting the shell during a dry summer stretch lets us close it in fast and finish the interior through the wet season.
