Dreaming of a custom barndominium that combines modern living with rural style? Many homeowners are drawn to open-concept floor plans, flexible layouts, and the ability to include living space, garages, or hobby areas under one roof.
Post-frame construction makes it possible to build a barndominium. Its versatile design allows you to build a pole barn home that fits your needs.
As you plan your residential construction project, you may be asking: "Should I be my own general contractor?" Self-general contracting provides more control and potential cost savings, but it also entails additional responsibility and coordination.
FBi is here to help you understand what it takes to manage a barndominium and how to build with confidence—whether you serve as your own general contractor or work with the post-frame construction experts.
Are you looking for a unique and custom home that will last you for years to come? A pole barn home is just what you need.
If you're looking for the perfect combination of a house with extra space to work, then a shouse is exactly what you need.

Before building a barndominium, you must consult your local bank to see if they offer financing options for pole barn homes.
Most lenders require details on construction costs and your personal finances.
The cost to build a finished pole barn home ranges from $125 to $250 per square foot, depending on size and custom features.
After acquiring land, you must plan for utilities, access, and site preparation.
Determine whether you or a general contractor will handle excavation and create a cut-and-fill grading plan to ensure a level foundation.
Proper site preparation sets the stage for a successful pole barn project.
Permit requirements for pole barn homes vary by county.
Permits cover setbacks, zoning, and building use. Your site may need additional permits for roadway access, drainage, septic systems, or other trades.
Complying with local regulations ensures your post-frame construction project stays on track.
FBi will help you design the exterior of your pole barn home and connect you with trusted architects for your interior layout.
