At Barndominiums.com, we’re focused on what’s best for you and your family—not locking you into one path. That’s why we give you options.
You don’t have to purchase a kit from us. You can buy stock plans or work with our team to create a custom design, then take those plans to multiple local contractors to compare pricing and choose the best fit for your budget.
Why this is the most economical option:
- Competitive bidding saves money – When multiple local builders quote your project, you create real price competition, which typically drives costs down.
- No middleman markup – You’re not locked into bundled pricing, so you avoid added margins that can come with packaged builds.
- Local labor advantages – Local contractors often have better pricing on labor, materials, and subcontractors in your specific area.
- Flexible material sourcing – You or your builder can shop materials strategically, take advantage of local suppliers, or phase purchases to stay on budget.
- Full control over your budget – You decide where to invest and where to save, rather than being tied to a preset package.
Bottom line: this approach puts you in control, maximizes competition, and gives you the best opportunity to build your dream home at the lowest possible cost.

We can kit any house plan.
Our barndominium kits provide a dry-in package that can be built efficiently and affordably. Kits are available in both steel and conventional wood framing, allowing you to choose the structure that fits your goals, site, and budget. Steel offers unmatched strength and longevity, while wood provides familiarity and flexibility for local builders.
How Steel Frame Construction Works
Steel kits are pre-engineered and partially assembled before they ever reach the job site. Each framing component is precisely manufactured, pre-punched for electrical and mechanical systems, and delivered ready to install. The result is a faster, cleaner build that minimizes waste and ensures structural accuracy from the ground up.
