Barndominium Cost-Saving Tips
- DIY Savings: Owner-builders can save 20-40% on labor costs by managing subcontractors and doing some work themselves.
- Simple Designs: Rectangular floor plans with minimal corners and standard roof lines are most cost-effective to build.
- Material Choices: Standard metal siding costs significantly less than custom finishes like stone or wood.
- Phased Construction: Build the weather-tight shell first and finish interior spaces over time as budget allows.
- Local Suppliers: Source materials locally to reduce shipping costs - metal building kits can be expensive to transport.
- Energy Efficiency: Invest in insulation and energy-efficient features that pay back over time through lower utility bills.
- Off-Season Building: Schedule construction during slower seasons when contractors may offer better rates.
