I have been a homebuilder for 40 years and I must tell you this is the best build video I have ever seen. My guess is you are very succesfull in your endeavors. Great job !!! When I started back in 1980 I would walk job sites on Sundays when no one was around to learn. Young builders have it easy with youtube. They should still walk a lot of job sites as well.

Seriously I've watched hundreds of videos on Cost breakdowns, but this tops them all. I will be looking at more of your channel. The editing. The angles. Other channels need to catch up. But this is what sets the bar high. Great work.
I've been crapping all over other barndo builders that won't give pricing and are secretive about build costs. They are car salesman thieves. MR Post Frame, you guys are awesome! Your videos are perfect. EVERYONE realizes the cost of this barndo isn't what every barndo will cost, but it gives us a realistic starting point! I believe barndos have grown in popularity because of the smaller size AND people think they will cost less than traditional builds. I never believed it cost less, they give more flexibility in the interior of the design and build timing. Thank you for the transparency. When I finally build on my property, your company is who I'll be calling.
Whom ever does your video editing is top notch. Period. I also like your No BS approach to the videos and how informative they are on construction. Something I aim at doing with my videos. Keep them coming!!
I was just about to comment that, the way this video is edited with the time line at the bottom, total cost in the top left corner and everything about it, LOVED IT! Made me subscribe.
YES!!!, please...please...please continue to do this style of videos for us viewers. Out of all the thousands of Barndo TH-cam videos out there, this is what's missing... the running totals and cost breakdowns. Your videos are far and away the best I've seen on TH-cam in this field...and I've seen some pretty good ones. You should take things to the next level and get even more detailed. These types of things are doing us viewers a great service. For me personally, it helps me understand exactly what I'm up against when I decide to jump into my own Barndo project. GREAT JOB!!!
Most impressive documentary of a building project from start to finish tracking the cost at each stage. As a property owner I just completed a 50' x 80' 4000 sq ft shop building serving as my own GC paying a contractor with material and labor, with me doing a lot of heaving liftings and grunt labor with them. It is a commercial steel (pre-engineered steel building) building with about 6000 sq ft of roof surface area due to the generous overhangs. The interior ceiling height is 17.5' to 25', with more than adequate to add a loft with generous headroom. One suggestion that will greatly add what the viewers want to know is the days elapse along the way. You and your crew are some of the best and most professional in the country. Where I am at in the country West Coast finding anyone willing to do a day of honest work is difficult enough, let alone finding anyone with reasonable skills. It is my first major construction project and I learnt a lot in the process. I handled the design, permitting, ordering of the building system, did all the utilities, and oversee and doing most of the material procurement.
As a Real Estate Appraiser, I try to watch this type of informative video every time I can find one. Also, it appears that the term "barndominium" means different things in different parts of the country. Here in north Texas most barndos are poured slabs with steel structure, and are finished out in numerous ways. Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks! Yes, they are different. Happy to answer questions or get you in touch with the appraiser who did our home. Comps were other similar size and acreages not barndos
@@MrPostFrame I think Barndomidium is wrong term. It's not a Barn. It's an actual house. It's a post beam construction. So a stick house should be "$tickdomidium"? T
That was great. I don’t think you could make it better. The editing and the information provided was excellent. These videos are so well made that I would watch them in slow time over days of completion. Not sure how much your IT person makes, but they probably need a raise. Top notch!
Wow, I'm impressed, not only with your video, but with your construction design. I have been a C-15 License contractor since 1996. I always like to see awesome craftsmanship in all trades! Thank you.
When I first saw what you were doing I said it was going to cost at least $262,000.00. So you had me by $42,000.00 plus. But I really do not think that it was a bad price in today's market. I liked the whole build. Nice job done by the carpenters.
This video really makes me second guess what I want to do now. We just built a 1600 sqft stick framed house in the same style with an additional 600 sqft of unfinished upstairs space. Total cost was just under $140,000 for the finished home. Our plan was to sell the current house and build one of these but it seems to be cheaper to build stick frame now. House was completed in 2022.
There’s a variety of factors that go into cost- comparing the same materials/finishes will be the most important part of knowing what is the best option. Example: going metal exterior with a barndo might cost more than stick frame with vinyl siding but it’s going to be lower maintenance + not have to be replaced as soon if at all. At the end of the day conditioned space will run the same regardless because you need all of the same elements to finish a home. Location also matters greatly, along with DIY level, etc. This build had almost zero DIY and a lot of upgraded finish elements. Hope that helps!
Fantastic video, so much pride in each trade’s work. I live in a metropolitan area where they just bulldoze a farm and build 5,000 crap townhomes in one month. Everything about this is beautiful.
Interestingly enough I used to build Post and Beam structures many years ago in Oregon. In fact, we used almost the exact same metal roofing. Our largest building was a 50x100 loafing barn for a small dairy. Back then we did not use premade trusses, we made our own. That was over 40 years ago.
What a video from start to finish. None of my time was wasted. Full of educational information. Includes itemized cost often not found in others. Thank you for posting. Garry from California.
This was excellent information and it made me excited because this is exactly what I’m looking forward my husband passed away last June and he would be so pleased to see me in a safe place (he was a marine and always told me to look for the best).
I just a house built almost identical process and I must say yours is very detailed and I appreciate it. Beautiful house and your clients must be very satisfied.
Very nicely done. Only suggestion that I can think of would be to add a day counter with the cost counter to show construction times, especially if you could tie it to the construction phases to get an idea of build time
I watched and enjoyed all the way through. Good work guys. To make money your guys need to be efficient and from looks of it, they know what they’re doing. Hat’s off to y’all. We just closed a week ago on a home that’s 2,111 sqft living, and was proportionately more than this build. Our insurance quote for coverage was $41 over asking, and the appraisal was right on the money. We got it for less than asking, plus a moisture barrier in the crawl space, stairs down to access the back yard, and a few other odds & ends.
@@joewearsadroolbib7347 OK, you've opened your yap- let's hear the specifics of your claim- what was the money wasted on? So, do you even know what average labor rates where MRPF works are? Have you any list of local lumber prices? What do concrete contractors there usually sell a cubic yard of poured and set concrete for? I have given you about a half dozen of the questions you need to answer to get to what you said- there are many, many more- and the most important one; what did the prospective owner want and purchase? Is your name Joe, by chance? FR
@@joewearsadroolbib7347 J, your comment is completely off base. Considering labor included and quality of components, foundation, radiant heat, spray foam, etc. this is a reasonable cost build.
ICF is a great basement construction system too. Did ten foot walls with windows at each long side. Modular home on top. Framed porch for safe room and concrete floor ceiling. Electrical shutoff in safe room and steel door opened in in case debris would block getting out.
Loved this! Thank you for sharing this information. I love that you didn't spend a lot of time talking and wasting our time with a bunch of fluff. I appreciate all the work.
Great solid foundation and framing construction. Excellent timelapse video with a cost counter added. Missing the spay insulation bit. Personally, I would leave out the insulated and water-heated floor. I would like rebar and grooved 4' x 4', acid stained then polished floor, DONE, and LOOKS AWESOME! I would avoid screws in the valleys of the metal roof. That could lead to serious problems in the future of this home. I don't care what to manufacturer says. Fasten screws into the peaks, kinda like the old lead-headed nails in V Crimp metal roofs were done, is best. I still see these lead headed on the peaks of the old V-crimp roofs lasting over 150 years with no leaks. I've seen total ruin in 20-30 years with screws in the valleys of metal roofs. Not sure about the spray in insulation, heard negative things about that. All in all, it's a 9.8 out of 10. It's a perfect retirement home design. No stairs to climb, EZ to clean and maintain.
I agree with the screws on the peaks, less water issues. as for the insulation, the new type of closed cell spray foam insulation has new formula (in Canada anyways) fire retardant & less harmful chemicals, can also get it for basements (blue in color) with a water proofing/moisture compound in it. Yes it would have be good to see it being done on the video. Insulated/heated floor is great in the colder areas, and it also eliminates the need for a furnace.
in the middle of a residential barndominium. 50x50 slab, 30x50 and 14' ceilings. 2 10x50 porches - 1 side 8' high ceiling, the other 10' high ceiling. I designed my self with a 14x30 loft and 14' ceilings. My steps so far - permits, etc., septic tank, well drilled, site prep, foundation, rough-in plumbing, slab, structure/windows/doors. Currently doing interior framing. Will then run water and septic lines, electrical, finish plumbing. Then I will need to install the wood stove chimney, followed by spray foam, appliances, flooring, and drywall & painting. Doing this on a 130 acre property I bought about 10+ years ago and have some buildings already completed. This caught my eye since I am doing a similar project. TBH I'd have to go through the bills to see where I am at cost wise. If we just add in the items you have, I will be under the 300K. I did this using all separate crews and no general contractor. It's more work and coordination, but I found I have saved doing it that way.
I really like how you do your videos it makes it easier to understand and appreciate what you do!! I want a Barndominium at some point. Thanks for your time and effort!!
I grew up in a family owned construction company and spent the first 40 years of my life doing basically what I watched on this video. You guys really have your shit together and you make it looks so easy. I had to retire after a back surgery, I was 29 and I tried to just take it easy and be careful...HA! like that will ever happen. I was hanging out setting truss' and what really made my back hurt was the bunk OSB you guys just get down and rock and roll, right now, snap! LOL.. wouldn't it be awesome if you could move as fast as the video runs......I really liked the video and the money adding on and on was a cool idea. You guys made me really miss that part of my life. Took me back to my 20 and 30's when I would work all day then go work for free to learn anything I that I could. I am getting ready to open my woodshop up to the public. I have a molder so I am going to try and get enough work to actually make some moolah!! I am going to get my builders license just to have it in my bag of tricks. I spent time in all of the trades so I would understand how each one ran and how to schedule the trades to keep the job rolling.etc. Plus if I have licensed builder on my business card the potential clients know that I understand the industry. I hope. Peace
Yes, the running total was cool. This is a great way to journalize the project and comes in handing if there is a need to see what is behind a wall or where the inside pipes are. Those tractors sure make the job safer and quicker.
I would love to build a home like this for our family but im pretty sure it would cost two to three times as much in utah. Materials here are through the roof and out of control. It is a very nice build and your video/cost breakdown is amazing. I will definitely subscribe and watch more. Great Job!!
Not necessarily. This barndo build actually cost about 3times as much as itd cost for most companies to come in a build for you. They really ripped this poor fella a new one.
Great video and thanks for sharing and whoever edits these vids is awesome, with that being said I purchased my brick home 5 years ago 1700sf on 6.5 acres for 166k so this price seems crazy even with the prices of everything rising but maybe that's just for your area.
I thought the same. If you are going to spend $200,000 might as well go with a multi floor house. With better insulations and interior walls. I hope things like these, don't develop a inflated market price. Like when "tiny homes" were 8 grand and they were selling them for 20 or 30 grand.
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053 so what he bought 6.5 acres and a house for half. Land never goes down in price and a house always goes up unless it’s falling apart. But no one can ever create more land. What we have is what we have and he purchased a house and 6.5 acres for half the price. Come on this is a metal shed for 300k.
Yeah, this price is in outer space. I built a 50' x 56' pole barn with 12' ceilings and a 800 sqft living space (finished) 5 years ago for 105k and that includes the 7 acres of land and paved 400ft driveway. In order to save cost I would say this: 1. Be your own contractor. It took 2.5 years from grading to finished but we saved at least 70k contracting it ourselves, including handling most of the labor ourselves (my father in law, wife , and myself). 2. Learn how to construct yourself to save on crew labor. Crews can get things done faster but labor skyrockets when you have to pay a crew to knock stuff out. The 3 things we paid the most for were due to large crews needed ( roofing, concrete pour and finish, and driveway). 3. Pay as you go, haggle where you can and buy second hand if possible. Our entire kitchen was second hand, including appliances and cabinets. We also found brick veneer leftovers from a commercial construction that were cheap. , Which we ended up using in the kitchen and as a knee wall on the front of the house. It can be done, just have to use a lot of sweat equity. 😅
Super smart vid, you've give a viewer a look into what it may cost to construct a similar project. This is a good businesses practice for all concerned, l would hire you because you've show skilled work ethics.
This was an awesome video! It's great how you did the cost as you built it. Just why the ICF walls wasn't used for more living/storage space below is my question.
It looks like excellent quality and craftsmanship but, I have to ask, is around $175+/sq ft about what something like this runs or were there some things that are not usually done (like the foundation/footings) that drove the cost up for this particular build? I thought that this type of building would be less costly than traditional stick building but sure seems to be a lot more, at least when looking in my area. Thanks.
Thanks👍🏽 for me, living on the plains, I’d include a storm shelter (root cellar). That’s where grandpa used it for meat and grandma kept her canning. It was big enough for 6 people. And it was used. In town, post and beam, they were called, “Butler buildings.” Thanks for the video, brings back fond memories of a simpler time. As an after thought Great for a Duplex or Triplex.
I actually got an inside sales position at 40 years old after some serious issues with my back. I had to completely stop working at 50. I just cannot be on my feet 10 hours a day. I was doing an avg of $90k in sales per month and they really didn't realize how much I actually did. They finally found a guy that has been able to stay at my old desk but he came from a competitor. My old boss is a hard man to work for. They had 4 guys sit at my desk and the longest one guy stayed was a month. 1 guy went to lunch and never came back on his first day. LMAO!!! It must have been one of them days! Peace
agreed, thats $176 per sqft. which is crazy to me. im looking at building one in the next 3-4 years. but at a cost like that, i may as well just build a normal home. I want to go the barndo route due to the prices normally being $56-$100 per sqft and the looks of course.
And that wasn’t completed either. Flooring, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, drywall…. nope! Thought the whole idea of doing a barndominium was to save money..
Living space is living space regardless of what type of construction you use for the home. Barndominiums that are “cheaper” are usually when the shop sf is much great than living space. That’s always been true.
5 years ago, I built a 2700sq ft brick house, for 171k... And that included buying the 2 acre property. People who pay these ridiculous prices now, are what's causing prices to be ridiculous.
Agreed! Its like a test lets raise prices see how it gos and if people buy we will continue to charge these outrageous prices. Construction workers do deserve decent pay but what they charge now days is ridiculous. Acting like they have a doctorate.
Agreed I saw the price tag and thought who in their right mind would pay for metal pole barn this price and good luck finding insurance company wanting to insure them ridiculous but the filming was nice and interesting
Easy to say when you already own your place. Some don’t have a choice. Blames on our government driving prices through the roof with lockdowns and spending waste.
@@kriskline7559 id agree but at the end of the day the ones raising price is us as people. Just cause min wage gos up dont mean we gotta raise prices. Its a choice and everyone is full of greed.
People sleep in their car for free since they are too lazy to work. Brand new camper is 50k that’s like 200 a month why keep yourself in a poverty mindset when everyone in the Bible was blessed and very wealthy
@@J7innovation False statement as to e/one in the bible being very wealthy. Add to that, even if so, that does NOT equate to the garbage teaching that pours from the likes of all the prosperity gospel teaching that abounds. THAT is as unbiblical as the day is long. God help us ALL to be kept from that heresy.
@@Kman.Yes the Bible says those who think gain is godliness should be avoided. 1 Tim 6:5. We should be content with food and clothing. God can help us with a career but it’s not the point of our life.
A very detailed and honest home building video! In the beginning, those numbers rolling, were a bit scary, but in the end the price was good! I just have no idea of the land’s price. Maybe in the future videos, if it’s possible, to show that too!
Very good video!! Totally love the price breakdown! Anyone that knows anything about building knows that costs fluctuate! And that this price was this build on this Day… so to speak.. 5 years ago, it may have been 20% cheaper… 5 years from now it may be 50% more… WHO KNOWS!?!?
very good in detail, reasonable price, good foundation and floor, especially, all the post not underground, like other barndominium from other youtuber
I’m a new follower. I’m thinking about a barndominium approach to having a garage for the motorhome. We are a year or two from retirement, plan to spend half of every year in the diesel-pusher, and I like the low maintenance of this idea.
Very informative, I really like the design, and floorplan. I was considering it as a possibility for a house, as I am tired of living in an apartment, and paying rent with nothing to show for it. That is until I saw the total price at the end. It is too much money for me a disabled veteran on a fixed income.
This is the second of your videos I've watched, and am very impressed with your and your team's work ethic, as well as the quality of the work. Question for you--is it common to install in-floor heat in all buildings, or is it just coincidence that both of the videos I watched, you installed that?
Thank you! We try and include that in all of our builds. It’s worth it in colder climates and you can wait to buy the controls if you don’t want to spend on them right away. The cost to add the tubing to how we already prep under the slab is minimal
I have been a homebuilder for 40 years and I must tell you this is the best build video I have ever seen. My guess is you are very succesfull in your endeavors. Great job !!!

Thanks for doing this! I appreciate seeing the cost analysis for projects
Thanks for watching.
Loved this! Thank you for sharing this information. I love that you didn't spend a lot of time talking and wasting our time with a bunch of fluff. I appreciate all the work.
This was amazing would love to see a full project just like this from start to finish even with the interior and every part of the project.
I normally don’t have the attention span to watch long TH-cam clips but this was enjoyable. Great job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Great solid foundation and framing construction. Excellent timelapse video with a cost counter added. Missing the spay insulation bit. Personally, I would leave out the insulated and water-heated floor. I would like rebar and grooved 4' x 4', acid stained then polished floor, DONE, and LOOKS AWESOME! I would avoid screws in the valleys of the metal roof. That could lead to serious problems in the future of this home. I don't care what to manufacturer says. Fasten screws into the peaks, kinda like the old lead-headed nails in V Crimp metal roofs were done, is best. I still see these lead headed on the peaks of the old V-crimp roofs lasting over 150 years with no leaks. I've seen total ruin in 20-30 years with screws in the valleys of metal roofs. Not sure about the spray in insulation, heard negative things about that. All in all, it's a 9.8 out of 10. It's a perfect retirement home design. No stairs to climb, EZ to clean and maintain.
I agree with the screws on the peaks, less water issues. as for the insulation, the new type of closed cell spray foam insulation has new formula (in Canada anyways) fire retardant & less harmful chemicals, can also get it for basements (blue in color) with a water proofing/moisture compound in it. Yes it would have be good to see it being done on the video. Insulated/heated floor is great in the colder areas, and it also eliminates the need for a furnace.
Man, this is so relaxing and amazing to see. Best cost breakdown/running total I have seen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m speechless , your Chanel is the answer to my dreams , now I have an idea about the process and pricing , thank you so much
Thank you glad you’re finding it helpful
Beautifully organized video! 💜 Great editing! Shows us how quickly money is spent. Would like to stop at $88,000 but there's no walls..lol
How is yours coming along? Much more than I imagined. I think if you can go a bit under half this size, you'd be in your budget.
in the middle of a residential barndominium. 50x50 slab, 30x50 and 14' ceilings. 2 10x50 porches - 1 side 8' high ceiling, the other 10' high ceiling. I designed my self with a 14x30 loft and 14' ceilings. My steps so far - permits, etc., septic tank, well drilled, site prep, foundation, rough-in plumbing, slab, structure/windows/doors. Currently doing interior framing. Will then run water and septic lines, electrical, finish plumbing. Then I will need to install the wood stove chimney, followed by spray foam, appliances, flooring, and drywall & painting. Doing this on a 130 acre property I bought about 10+ years ago and have some buildings already completed. This caught my eye since I am doing a similar project. TBH I'd have to go through the bills to see where I am at cost wise. If we just add in the items you have, I will be under the 300K. I did this using all separate crews and no general contractor. It's more work and coordination, but I found I have saved doing it that way.
Love the cost breakdown with the time lapse.. Awesome format
I really like how you do your videos it makes it easier to understand and appreciate what you do!! I want a Barndominium at some point. Thanks for your time and effort!!
I grew up in a family owned construction company and spent the first 40 years of my life doing basically what I watched on this video. You guys really have your shit together and you make it looks so easy.
I had to retire after a back surgery, I was 29 and I tried to just take it easy and be careful...HA! like that will ever happen. I was hanging out setting truss' and what really made my back hurt was the bunk OSB you guys just get down and rock and roll, right now, snap! LOL.. wouldn't it be awesome if you could move as fast as the video runs......I really liked the video and the money adding on and on was a cool idea.
You guys made me really miss that part of my life. Took me back to my 20 and 30's when I would work all day then go work for free to learn anything I that I could. I am getting ready to open my woodshop up to the public. I have a molder so I am going to try and get enough work to actually make some moolah!! I am going to get my builders license just to have it in my bag of tricks. I spent time in all of the trades so I would understand how each one ran and how to schedule the trades to keep the job rolling.etc. Plus if I have licensed builder on my business card the potential clients know that I understand the industry. I hope.
Peace
You're on the right path. Good luck to you!
Yes, the running total was cool. This is a great way to journalize the project and comes in handing if there is a need to see what is behind a wall or where the inside pipes are. Those tractors sure make the job safer and quicker.
I would love to build a home like this for our family but im pretty sure it would cost two to three times as much in utah. Materials here are through the roof and out of control. It is a very nice build and your video/cost breakdown is amazing. I will definitely subscribe and watch more. Great Job!!
Not necessarily. This barndo build actually cost about 3times as much as itd cost for most companies to come in a build for you. They really ripped this poor fella a new one.
Thanks!
Really incredible and fantastic editing. Great job of quality building shown by you all.
Wow this is one of the best videos I have seen with an almost completely breakdown of cost from the biginning thru the end, thank you for charing.
Great video and thanks for sharing and whoever edits these vids is awesome, with that being said I purchased my brick home 5 years ago 1700sf on 6.5 acres for 166k so this price seems crazy even with the prices of everything rising but maybe that's just for your area.
I thought the same. If you are going to spend $200,000 might as well go with a multi floor house. With better insulations and interior walls. I hope things like these, don't develop a inflated market price. Like when "tiny homes" were 8 grand and they were selling them for 20 or 30 grand.
I think the difference is bought vs had built. You bought (I'm assuming) a house built years ago.
Thank you sir
@@oldleatherhandsfriends4053 so what he bought 6.5 acres and a house for half. Land never goes down in price and a house always goes up unless it’s falling apart. But no one can ever create more land. What we have is what we have and he purchased a house and 6.5 acres for half the price. Come on this is a metal shed for 300k.
Yeah, this price is in outer space. I built a 50' x 56' pole barn with 12' ceilings and a 800 sqft living space (finished) 5 years ago for 105k and that includes the 7 acres of land and paved 400ft driveway.
In order to save cost I would say this:
1. Be your own contractor. It took 2.5 years from grading to finished but we saved at least 70k contracting it ourselves, including handling most of the labor ourselves (my father in law, wife , and myself).
2. Learn how to construct yourself to save on crew labor. Crews can get things done faster but labor skyrockets when you have to pay a crew to knock stuff out. The 3 things we paid the most for were due to large crews needed ( roofing, concrete pour and finish, and driveway).
3. Pay as you go, haggle where you can and buy second hand if possible. Our entire kitchen was second hand, including appliances and cabinets. We also found brick veneer leftovers from a commercial construction that were cheap. , Which we ended up using in the kitchen and as a knee wall on the front of the house.
It can be done, just have to use a lot of sweat equity. 😅
This is what I call, 7 star video. Well done guys.
Thank you very much!
Super smart vid, you've give a viewer a look into what it may cost to construct a similar project. This is a good businesses practice for all concerned, l would hire you because you've show skilled work ethics.
Thanks for watching!
Made the mistake of showing my wife this, now she wants to know if I can do it 😂. I said how about we call these guys. Top notch work.
Ha...sorry...thanks for watching!
Subscribed!! Beautiful no bs breakdown and love the time-lapse!
Thanks for the sub and watching!
It’s really great seeing the house you want to built one day in a video. Thanks.
This was an awesome video! It's great how you did the cost as you built it. Just why the ICF walls wasn't used for more living/storage space below is my question.
Love that the time lapse catches all the weather geoengineering.
It looks like excellent quality and craftsmanship but, I have to ask, is around $175+/sq ft about what something like this runs or were there some things that are not usually done (like the foundation/footings) that drove the cost up for this particular build? I thought that this type of building would be less costly than traditional stick building but sure seems to be a lot more, at least when looking in my area. Thanks.
I am only guessing but material costs have continued to skyrocket except the price of lumber has come down somewhat and stabilized.
Thanks👍🏽
for me, living on the plains, I’d include a storm shelter (root cellar).
That’s where grandpa used it for meat and grandma kept her canning.
It was big enough for 6 people. And it was used.
In town, post and beam, they were called, “Butler buildings.”
Thanks for the video, brings back fond memories of a simpler time.
As an after thought Great for a Duplex or Triplex.
Nice work and quality content you are sharing, informative and entertaining. Hard to get both in videos these days.
Thanks, W.C.!
Wow! It’s obvious you’re a conscientious craftsman. Your kind is rare these days, at least in my area.
Amazing video footage and editing very well put together and very informative. Keep up the great work
Best home building video I've ever seen! Great job!
This is so very well done. Thanks for putting it together like this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I actually got an inside sales position at 40 years old after some serious issues with my back. I had to completely stop working at 50. I just cannot be on my feet 10 hours a day. I was doing an avg of $90k in sales per month and they really didn't realize how much I actually did. They finally found a guy that has been able to stay at my old desk but he came from a competitor. My old boss is a hard man to work for. They had 4 guys sit at my desk and the longest one guy stayed was a month. 1 guy went to lunch and never came back on his first day. LMAO!!! It must have been one of them days!
Peace
As always a great build. Fun to watch things come together.
Thanks!
You guys are amazing the quality of craftsmanship is superb!! Same build where I live almost 200k more for exactly the same. 😩
Thanks for watching!
Love the break down. If I ever build again this what I want to build,
Awesome! Thanks for watching
I totally enjoyed watching this. If that’s your crew they really now what their job is and work well together.
Awesomd video, but $300,000 for a 1,700 sq ft home build is crazy expensive, at least for NW Florida.
agreed, thats $176 per sqft. which is crazy to me. im looking at building one in the next 3-4 years. but at a cost like that, i may as well just build a normal home. I want to go the barndo route due to the prices normally being $56-$100 per sqft and the looks of course.
Agreed...that is not worth it
yeah, and in the end you have a basic box
And that wasn’t completed either. Flooring, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, drywall…. nope! Thought the whole idea of doing a barndominium was to save money..
Living space is living space regardless of what type of construction you use for the home. Barndominiums that are “cheaper” are usually when the shop sf is much great than living space. That’s always been true.
Awesome stuff man! How long did this take from start to finish?
I really like this video format. Great work Paul
5 years ago, I built a 2700sq ft brick house, for 171k... And that included buying the 2 acre property.
People who pay these ridiculous prices now, are what's causing prices to be ridiculous.
Agreed! Its like a test lets raise prices see how it gos and if people buy we will continue to charge these outrageous prices. Construction workers do deserve decent pay but what they charge now days is ridiculous. Acting like they have a doctorate.
Agreed I saw the price tag and thought who in their right mind would pay for metal pole barn this price and good luck finding insurance company wanting to insure them ridiculous but the filming was nice and interesting
Easy to say when you already own your place. Some don’t have a choice. Blames on our government driving prices through the roof with lockdowns and spending waste.
@@kriskline7559 id agree but at the end of the day the ones raising price is us as people. Just cause min wage gos up dont mean we gotta raise prices. Its a choice and everyone is full of greed.
Loved It Guys. Awesome. Time-lapse Is The Way To Go. Thanks!
Wow. This was fantastic sir. Good Work and thank you!
One thing I noticed is that the ol JCB traxsteer has a slow leak down in the booms.
300k for 1700sqft? No thanks. Cool time lapse though so thumbs up for that.
Thanks for watching!
That’s only $176/sqft
That’s not a bad price today
2592 square feet not bad
Nice video, but that's pricey. $300k for 1700 Square feet? Plus the expenses aren't done rolling in yet. That's not move-in ready! Too expensive!
Love these videos! No one does videos like this. So informative please keep these coming!
Thank you! Our current build includes cost for each step. Also editing our personal home final cost video this week!
Will any of us in dire need of a home ever get one we can afford??? God please help us.... money is evil...
Work harder. This price is really not that bad compared to traditional home builds.
People sleep in their car for free since they are too lazy to work. Brand new camper is 50k that’s like 200 a month why keep yourself in a poverty mindset when everyone in the Bible was blessed and very wealthy
@@J7innovation False statement as to e/one in the bible being very wealthy. Add to that, even if so, that does NOT equate to the garbage teaching that pours from the likes of all the prosperity gospel teaching that abounds. THAT is as unbiblical as the day is long. God help us ALL to be kept from that heresy.
@@Kman.Yes the Bible says those who think gain is godliness should be avoided. 1 Tim 6:5. We should be content with food and clothing. God can help us with a career but it’s not the point of our life.
As long as money has existed, we have all been slaves
A very detailed and honest home building video! In the beginning, those numbers rolling, were a bit scary, but in the end the price was good! I just have no idea of the land’s price. Maybe in the future videos, if it’s possible, to show that too!
America is for rich-not the poor-they say land of the free.
Very good video!! Totally love the price breakdown! Anyone that knows anything about building knows that costs fluctuate! And that this price was this build on this Day… so to speak.. 5 years ago, it may have been 20% cheaper… 5 years from now it may be 50% more… WHO KNOWS!?!?
Exactly folks need to keep that perspective
Great Job Guys from start to finish. Best video I seen on TH-cam!!!! I have subscribed and am following.
very good in detail, reasonable price, good foundation and floor, especially, all the post not underground, like other barndominium from other youtuber
I’m a new follower. I’m thinking about a barndominium approach to having a garage for the motorhome. We are a year or two from retirement, plan to spend half of every year in the diesel-pusher, and I like the low maintenance of this idea.
Very well made timelapse. breakdown on costs was very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work and very detailed about how much it cost as one builds. Thank you for sharing this video.
Glad you liked it!
Nice video. Been wanting to get a better understanding of cost involved. But Damn, they were laying some serious Trails above throughout this video...
Very informative, I really like the design, and floorplan. I was considering it as a possibility for a house, as I am tired of living in an apartment, and paying rent with nothing to show for it. That is until I saw the total price at the end. It is too much money for me a disabled veteran on a fixed income.
This is the second of your videos I've watched, and am very impressed with your and your team's work ethic, as well as the quality of the work. Question for you--is it common to install in-floor heat in all buildings, or is it just coincidence that both of the videos I watched, you installed that?
Thank you! We try and include that in all of our builds. It’s worth it in colder climates and you can wait to buy the controls if you don’t want to spend on them right away. The cost to add the tubing to how we already prep under the slab is minimal
Great job with the making of this video. I would very much like to see more of these.
Here is our playlist with videos that include cost! th-cam.com/play/PL3QM32YjSVn2E3pYWzDdyMmgFHiUYzkZZ.html
So satisfying to watch skilled craftsmen doing quality work! 👍💪
Thank you!
This is SO well done …. House AND video presentation. Blessings to you!
Thank you!
The best breakdown in cost I've seen. Thanks!
I love this breakdown during the entire video...
Really well done time lapse video... really well done.
Very well done, every aspect of build and video presentation. Top notch.
