Watching. I’m curious about the costs as well. Going to retire in a few years and was thinking of going the barndo route because of the cost advantage. As time goes by it appears the cost advantage is disappearing. It’s the maintenance on a barndo Once it’s done, it’s done We’ve built 2 Barndo’s over the past few years and I think u can spend as much as u want on either

A client of mine just signed to build 2 homes, 1 is a 3400 square foot 2 story, the other is a 1600 square foot 1 story. They own the land, water and electric is already tapped and ran to sight. Price total for both homes was $730,000. These aren’t over the top customs. Tile floors, level 2-3 granite, site built cabinets, foam insulation, metal roofs, all brick exterior.
That comes out to $146 a foot.

Depends on how they are finished out. The CAD sent an appraiser out to measure A/C space and assess a value. We discussed and arrived at a value while he was there. They had slapped an unrealistic value on me since they couldn't gain access without me there. Several factors determine value-cost, market and condition of the property among other factors. i didnt know the cad had the authority to see the inside?

Do you have a contractor you prefer?
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

They jacked my value up triple. I didn't really have a choice. Didn't bother me. The appraiser was reasonable and listened. we arrived at a fair value.

Our home was finished in June of 2020. For the construction, we came in around $220/ft.
I know materials have gone up substantially.
