The word ‘’barndominium’’ or ‘’barndo’’ for short, is a play on two different words, ‘’barn’’ and ‘’condominium’’. This term refers to a building made of Steel that has been converted into a living space. These large buildings offer ample room for both living quarters and a shop or garage, some even feature a horse stable, store, or restaurant. Many barndominiums are reconstructed from an existing barn structure, however, it’s more and more common to see newly constructed builds.
Barndominiums are becoming increasingly popular as more people find out their advantages and learn that they can customize them to meet their specific needs and preferences.
So why are people choosing to build barndominiums? Well, let’s take a dive into some of the benefits they offer.
Quick Construction Time
Compared to a traditional home, they can be built much faster. As Steel Buildings are pre-engineered, they arrive at the site fully ready to erect which in turn saves money during construction time.
Low Maintenance
One of the great things about building with steel is their low maintenance. There is no need to worry about steel components splitting, rotting, or warping as you do with wooden structures. Unlike steel wall cladding, materials such as vinyl siding are prone to cracking and warping over time.
Versatility
Barndominiums are usually an open concept that allows room to design freely, they can be tailored to your specific needs. With high ceilings and minimal columns, there are few limitations.
