Barndominium shells with the living side planned from day one

Most building kits land between $17 and $30 per square foot before foundation and erection. A delivered-and-erected 40×60 typically runs $88,000–$118,000 in most US markets; coastal and heavy-snow regions trend higher, and turnkey with slab and buildout runs higher still. Your final number depends on eave height, snow and wind loads, door openings, and finish level.

We do not perform engineering or pull permits directly. We act as your co-pilot through sourcing and purchasing the metal building: we help you find a licensed engineer in your state, work with your engineer, answer permit questions, and provide free permit checklist and cover-letter templates you can download. The permit itself is pulled by the owner or GC of record.

Preliminary concept and estimate: 1–3 business days. Sealed drawings after order: 3–5 weeks. Fabrication and delivery: 6–12 weeks depending on mill schedules. Erection of a typical 40×60 takes 2–3 weeks once the slab has cured.

Absolutely. Kits ship bolt-together with a marked erection manual and piece list. Many contractors and experienced owners self-erect. We can also supply an insured crew for all or part of the work.
