“I never thought I could build my own home, but this guide made it easier. The floor plans were detailed and easy to follow, making the process enjoyable.”
We’ve all been there, we see a beautiful home online or in-person and we want it too…it’s only natural.
Barndos have been all the rage over the last 5+ years and have exploded in popularity – and there’s good reason for it.
The alluring open plan living concept, the tall ceilings and the possibility of a very large workshop/garage.
It’s all very attractive.
It all begins around the start of 2018.
I had just finished a long week of work and on a Friday night I was sitting on my porch after dinner, browsing around on Facebook where I came across a stunning metal-looking home structure.
After a couple of searches and clicking around some websites, I finally came across some really breathtaking home designs.
I discovered the “Barndominium” home.
I instantly fell in love and knew I wanted it to be our next move.
My husband and I had already discussed moving our family into a bigger place at this point.
I looked at hundreds of different ideas, floor plans and photos and started researching how to build one.
I wanted to act as my own general contractor (I had done some DIY before and thought I could manage the build myself, why not, right?).
It turned out that planning a brand new home from ground-up was a mammoth of a task.
But we really wanted our dream home for the kids so we marched up the mountain towards our goal…
*18 long months later*
We finally reached the finish line.
My husband and I finally wrapped up our build (which took MUCH longer than we estimated) and settled in a short week later, ready to start ordering some new furniture, lights and a billiards table for the kids.
I learned a LOT of painstaking lessons the hard way over the course of that year and a half…
There are so many moving parts when building a new barndo from scratch.
I can’t emphasize this enough.
When I took on the biggest project of my life, I wish I had a trusted advisor or “mentor” that was by my side to help my sidestep all the obstacles.
Even today, there still isn’t much guidance around as these homes are still such a new concept compared to traditional homes.
Building your new home shouldn’t be as stressful or worrying as it was for me.
The anxiety of home building can only be reduced from detailed planning, estimating and staying on top of those builders!
Which is a huge task in itself, as the saying goes “measure twice, cut once“.
That’s where I come in.
I’ve learned my lessons, and I’ve been working hard to distill everything I experienced into a “recipe” that can work for you.
Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of helping many people in the community achieve the build they longed for.
A dream Barndominium which you can call home for all of the family.
I’ve collected all my written notes (piles of paper stacks!) from my time building and helping others, along with all the conversations I’ve had with different service providers and contractors.
I’ve put everything nice and neatly into this package to give the help I wish I had when I started my journey.

At 55, I didn't want a mortgage eating up my retirement. We got the Complete Package and the Barndo Planner spreadsheets alone saved us around $18k by keeping our subcontractors honest. Best $57 I've ever spent.
My husband and I spent months arguing over layouts for our empty-nester home. The 200+ Floor Plans book had the exact 3-bedroom, open-concept shop house we were picturing. It accelerated our timeline by at least three months!
We ordered the Printed Bundle. Having the physical 330+ page manual on the job site is a godsend. It helped us skip so many beginner mistakes with the foundation and insulation that would have delayed us for weeks.
We were quoted outrageous numbers by traditional builders. This guide gave my husband the confidence to GC the project himself. We are on track to save roughly 30% of our total budget just by following the steps.
We are downsizing and wanted something simple but high-quality. The plan book is phenomenal, showing everything from tiny 1-beds to huge family homes. We found our perfect match on page 84.
Nearing 60, I didn't have time to mess around. The Complete Package told us exactly what permits to pull and what to order. Accelerated the whole shell construction phase and saved us thousands in architect fees.
The level of detail in the 330+ page manual is astonishing. We combined it with a 4-bedroom plan from the bundle. I feel so much more equipped talking to the local steel building suppliers now.
We were stuck in 'analysis paralysis' for over a year. The moment we downloaded the digital bundle, things clicked. We picked a layout in two days and finally poured our concrete slab last week!
The bonus Barndo Planner is worth the package price alone. Being able to track our budget line-by-line has kept our retirement nest egg safe. The whole process is laid out so logically.
I highly recommend the printed version if you're like me and prefer real paper. Shipped fast. The in-depth details on HVAC and plumbing for metal buildings saved us weeks of research.
We took one of the floor plans straight from the book to our local drafter. Instead of paying thousands for scratch designs, we paid a fraction just to get it stamped. Incredible value.
My husband is handy, but a full build is daunting. The Ultimate Guide broke it down so simply. We are currently drying-in the frame and we are actually two weeks ahead of schedule!
We wanted a big shop with a modest living quarter attached. Found five different variations in the floor plan book that fit our exact lot dimensions. So much inspiration in one place.
Read the Ultimate Guide cover to cover before breaking ground. Knowing what to expect with the slab plumbing alone saved us a very costly rework fee from our plumber.
We ordered the printed $197 bundle. It's a heavy, high-quality set of books. Showed the floor plan book to our steel kit manufacturer and got the quote back the next day.
Building in the mountains has its challenges, but the step-by-step approach in the guide took the guesswork out. The insulation chapter specifically helped us make a choice that will save on heating for years.
If you are on the fence, just get the Complete Package. The printable budget tracker sheets are flawless. We haven't gone a penny over our loan amount thanks to this system.
We found exactly what we wanted in a single evening. The alternatives were paying an architect for months of revisions. This bundle fast-tracked our dream home.
