Barndominium on a Budget | Build On Time and Under Budget (2024)

Consolidate all bids you receive into a single place. This is a god-send whether you’re just trying to figure out if you can afford a barndo or you’ve already started your build

Keep track of financing bids that you receive. In a rising interest rate environment, this will be huge! There’s so much more to financing estimates than JUST the interest rate you get. Track it all here.

As part of beginning your build, you’ll need to get a soil test done on your land. The prices of this can vary from $800 to upwards of $2,000! Make sure you get the right team and the right deliverables done.

One of the other most important things is to get a set of floor plans so that builders and service providers can know what you’re building. This allows to give them accurate bids for everything else. Use our tool to keep track of bids you get for the set of plans!

Likely the most expensive part of building a barndominium is getting the actual “shell” or “kit”. It can seem like these are all pretty similar, but that is NOT the case. There’s tons of small details to keep track of – don’t let this aspect derail your build!

The builder/GC is of critical importance. Make sure you keep track of all terms, conditions, and other parts of working with them!
