Barndominiums

Modern Strength. Intentional Design. Built to Last.

Explore Barndominiums

Not a barn.
A residential-grade home.

At DALLAN Construction, a barndominium is a fully engineered, code-compliant home built with durability, efficiency, and thoughtful design at its core.

Barndominiums combine the structural strength of steel or post-frame construction with the comfort and refinement of a custom home — delivering expansive, open living that balances architectural character with long-term performance.

Whether you're building on acreage, integrating a workshop, or simply want open living, our structured process ensures it's built correctly from the ground up.

What is a Barndominium?

Open-Concept Living

Large, unobstructed floor plans with vaulted or high ceilings for a spacious, airy feel.

Steel or Post-Frame Structure

Metal Roofing & Siding

Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials built for rural environments and longevity.

Flexible Interior Layouts

Adaptable floor plans that work for any lifestyle — modern industrial to refined contemporary.

Full Residential Finish

Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, trim, and fixtures — the same quality standards as any custom home.

Required inspections, detailed client walkthrough, punch list — complete only when standards are met.

Construction Phases

How a barndominium comes together.

Foundation & Slab

Most barndominiums are built on slab-on-grade foundations. Plumbing rough-ins are installed prior to the concrete pour for efficiency and accuracy.

Structural Shell

Steel or post-frame structure erected, roof system installed, exterior wall panels attached, and window and door openings framed. The build moves quickly at this stage.

Mechanical Systems

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installed with careful coordination. HVAC design is critical in tall-ceiling, open-layout buildings for long-term comfort and efficiency.

Interior Framing & Insulation

Interior walls framed within the structural shell. Proper insulation systems control condensation, maximize energy efficiency, and improve indoor comfort.

Interior Finishes

Drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, trim, doors, paint, and fixtures — transforming the shell into a refined, fully finished home.

Inspections & Certificate

Foundation, framing, rough-in, and final inspections completed in sequence. Certificate of occupancy issued upon approval.

Timeline

How long does it take?

While the structural shell goes up faster than a traditional home, interior finishes require the same precision and craftsmanship as any custom build.
