    You can typically expect to pay a contractor an additional 10%–20% percent of the project total. Speed Utilizing post frame construction for the large, open floor plan generally allows for shorter construction times, helping to reduce overall costs. To keep things in perspective, the cost to build a traditional house per square foot is approximately $50 – $400. While you may not save much on the cost of materials, barndominiums do substantially cut down on the cost of labor. The shell is the part that gives the barndo its barn-like appearance. In some cases, it is a genuine barn that is renovated into a livable space, or it may be a new build. For cost-saving measures, a metal barn is a common choice with an average price of around $45k. If you opt for the high-end, traditional stick-built barn look, you can expect to pay premium prices of more than three times that cost for wood. A number of factors can potentially make a barndominium home less expensive than a conventional house. These can include faster construction time, reduced excavation costs, and less site preparation. However, it’s always wise to price out your entire project before making cost assumptions. Thanks to the larger structural members in a post-frame building, you can construct higher walls much more easily than with stick-built structures. And the columns used in barndominiums typically have on-center spacing of 8 feet, a fact that makes extra-large window openings much easier—and less expensive—to construct. Post-frame systems in barndominiums can be designed to accommodate varying soil wall pressures, either from within or from the exterior of the building wall. This can be accomplished without the extensive excavation costs and expensive concrete foundation system needed for stud walls in stick-frames. Exterior building materials are where you can save a lot of money on a barndominium compared to traditional houses. A reasonable estimate is that around 40-50% of project costs go to materials. A Shop House traditional is a metal building used for a shop or garage with a living quarters built into the shop. BuildMax is reshaping the way people see the traditional Shop House by making them more appealing and more functional for the average family. All of our barndominium plans can also be modified and built using a post frame method.
