What it costs
Metal barndominium kits run about $20–$35 per sq ft for materials only (Houseplans.com). HomeGuide puts prefab metal building kits at $10–$25 per sq ft and fully installed buildings at $20–$50 per sq ft, which shows how much erection and the slab add.
Run your own numbers in the barndominium cost estimator.
Worth knowing
- Have the kit drawings and anchor bolt plan ready
- The slab must match the kit’s anchor layout
- Check who unloads the delivery and who supplies lifts
- A permit is still needed for the building
What to send builders
- Kit supplier and size
- Delivery date
- Whether the slab is poured yet
Questions
Can a builder erect a kit from another supplier?
Many crews will, but some only build their own packages. Say up front which kit you have.
