We are Alberta’s experts in BARNDOMINIUM BUILDING

Barndominiums, nicknamed “barndos,” got their start as a practical living option. Many farmers and ranchers created a loft area above a working barn so that animal caretakers could stay close by. Fast forward to today where the popularity of barndominiums has evolved into luxury homes and vacation rentals. Most “barndo” construction uses a steel shell, then adds tons of interior customization options.

Unlike a traditional wood stud home, the interior does not need load-bearing walls. The steel frame offers more than enough support for the roof beams and rafters.

Why Build A Barndominium or A Pole Barn House?

Traditional homes cost more to construct. Building a stud frame requires more labor compared to erecting a wood or steel post frame. The framing for interior walls and the placement of load-bearing walls also increases the cost.

No matter if you choose a steel barndominium or a pole barn home, you are likely to save money compared to building a traditional home.

There is no ‘typical’ barndominium or pole barn build, but most share a few key advantages:

Simplicity: Barndos are often built as a metal shell, and pole barns with wood posts, with simple interior framing.
Construction Time: The outer shell construction goes up quickly.
Flexibility: Both barndominiums and pole barns can be configured for living or work/live space.
Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle: Rollup doors and large windows encourage indoor/outdoor living.

If you dislike the idea of living in a steel building, consider building a pole barn home. You can still enjoy many benefits compared to building a traditional home.

If you want the most durable, long-lasting home, consider building a steel barndominium. Barndominiums can last longer than a lifetime and offer an endless selection of interior layouts and designs.

In the end, the fact that you can design the interior of your home just the way you want it while preserving its feeling of spaciousness is something most home owners want. With a barndominium or pole barn, you’ll have this opportunity as well as more than just a few benefits – a safer, more durable home, with low costs of maintenance.

As mentioned, given their increase in popularity, we can expect to see more and more barndominiums, and we can be sure that there won’t be two to look the same on the inside. As they say, it’s not the shell that matters – what is inside and, in this case, around it, matters more.

We are happy to design a “barndo” or pole barn unique to your wants and needs, and offer free quotes so that you can adjust your expectations and know exactly what you’re getting with your money.
