Are Barndominiums Cheaper Than a House? What the Facebook Videos Leave Out

We build barndominiums, block homes and wood-frame homes across North Central Florida, and one question comes up constantly: are barndos cheaper than a house? The short answer is no.

Red iron costs more once it's finished out

A red iron metal building, finished out as a home, costs more than wood framing the same home.

Why the 'I saved a fortune' videos are misleading

Those videos usually mean one of two things:

• They did all the labor themselves.

• They're showing a materials-only kit price, without the slab, plumbing, electrical and HVAC, insulation, drywall, finishes or permits.

Before you buy a kit, get a turnkey price from a state-licensed builder. We give every client a fixed-price, turnkey contract, so you're comparing real numbers, not a kit price.
