STEEL BARNDOMINIUMS & HOUSES

Steel buildings are extraordinarily versatile. They can be constructed to suit any purpose, from a church to a warehouse. They are ideal for storage, for workshops, and they are even ideal for living spaces such as barndominiums.

Luxury Steel Barndominiums

Discover the epitome of luxury and resilience with our exquisite steel barndominiums. Crafted to withstand the most extreme weather conditions, these engineering masterpieces require minimal maintenance, ensuring a worry-free living experience. Unlike traditional wooden structures, our steel Barndominiums offer unparalleled durability and protection against pest infestations, setting the standard for both sophistication and longevity.

Barndominiums, including barndominium homes, are the latest innovation in the steel-framed building industry and gained immense popularity when lumber prices quintupled during the first half of the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally conceived as multifunctional spaces blending storage and entertainment areas with lavish living quarters, these once simple retreats have evolved into symbols of prestige and elegance. Whether serving as a lavish residence or a multifunctional sanctuary, workshop, and more, our Barndominiums cater to the discerning tastes of those seeking unparalleled luxury and functionality.

Barndominium builders got their start constructing steel-framed buildings for men who wanted a “man cave” separate from their house. And man caves proved so popular that “she sheds” were not far behind. 
From the inception of “man caves” to the rise of “she sheds,” our steel Barndominiums have captured the imagination of those with a penchant for personalized luxury. Today, we continue to redefine luxury living, offering customizable structures designed to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning clientele.

At SteelCo, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke solutions tailored to your unique requirements. From spacious floor plans to quality steel materials, every aspect of our Barndominiums is meticulously crafted to reflect your vision of luxury living. However, if not residing in Georgia, i
nterior build-out is best provided by an experienced, local house-building contractor. SteelCo does not generally provide these services for customers. These floor and design plans serve the purpose of enabling the interior build-out construction process utilizing local resources ordinarily contracted for by the home owner.

Explore our curated collection of common floor plans as a design start and experience the limitless possibilities offered by our steel-framed marvels. The prices listed alongside each design represent the investment required for acquiring builder drawings, allowing you to embark on a journey towards unparalleled modern luxury and rustic chic aesthetics. With SteelCo, your dream of rustic luxury living awaits, ready to be realized amidst the grandeur of our distinguished Barndominiums.

Timeless Appeal: Attractive Exterior Designs

SteelCo will help design your luxury Barndominium structure to accommodate a wide variety of exterior sidings. Many barndominium owners choose exterior siding from our economical steel panels offered in several panel profiles and finished in durable long-lasting baked-on finishes in a variety of colors. Wood, stone, masonry, stucco and other traditional materials are also possible. We can work with you to create the exterior appearance you want for your new home.

How To Spot: Barndo vs Non-Barndo

With its open floor plan and industrial charm, a steel Barndominium provides a modern living environment while retaining the structural integrity required for long-term durability. In contrast, a non-barndominium or traditional home structure typically follows conventional residential construction methods, utilizing materials such as wood framing and masonry. You can easily distinguish steel-framed Barndos by identifying the main “clear span” unit with lean-to’s on one or multiple sides, whereas non-barndominium or traditional homes have design and/or structural elements deviating from this and look more like your traditional house structure design and material wise.

NOT a Barndo

Traditional house structure with conventional design elements and stick-built frame materials

Expansive Layouts: Open Floor Plans

Steel-framed buildings offer “clear spans” not easily achieved by typical wood frame construction. That means that there’s no need for loadbearing walls or supports within the interior of the building itself, So, when it comes to designing a living space and a play space to coexist in the same building, it’s a lot easier with a SteelCo Barndominium!

Customized Dimensions: Length, Width, Height & More

When you consult with one of our steel building experts, we’ll learn everything about the type of barndominium you desire, and we’ll adapt our building size to your specifications and needs.

If you want two stories, with a provision for windows on each floor and a loft that opens to a clear living area, we can do that. When you want living space adjoining open areas, we can do that. In fact, there is very little we can’t do. We craft the steel framing, exterior covering materials, and roof system custom fit to your requirements and living space design. There’s no limit to what your barndominium can look like except for your own imagination and your budget.

And speaking of budget, your dollars go a lot further with a steel framed home than with a traditional wood framed building. 

Simply choose any of the sample designs above and you will see how adaptable steel framing is in designing Barndominiums.

If one of these designs is a good place to start in developing your final design, you can purchase a Builder set of drawings for the price shown next to the design label.

These plans are ideally suited for modifications you can make with your designer or local building contractor. You will receive a pdf plan set ideally suited to support the interior build-out process with a local build-out expert. The plan set includes the following::
 
  • Fully dimensioned Floor Plan(s)
  • Roof Plan
  • Exterior Elevations
  • Building Sections
  • Schedules & Details
  • Electrical Plan

The drawings in the builder’s set purchased from SteelCo are not stamped by a registered professional architect or engineer. Building departments that require a stamp of this nature will generally require one registered in the state where you will be building the structure.

When you order a structure from SteelCo Buildings, your structure will be provided with a complete set of drawings stamped by an engineer registered in the state where the structure will be built.

We do not include mechanical or plumbing drawings. These drawings and any required building code analysis, energy calculations or other design and engineering documentation is not provided by SteelCo Buildings as a part of this package and should be provided by a local designer or builder.

The builder’s set of plans you receive from SteelCo will enable you to get accurate bids on building out your structure around a SteelCo shell. Additional copies and mirrored plans are available to show your home the way you plan to build it. Simply contact your SteelCo Sales Associate by calling 678-212-2190.

Our Sales Associates will be sure to help you get what you need. The plans you choose will be promptly sent for you to continue with your planning and build-out process.

Speedy Construction

It takes far less time to erect a barndominium than ordinary exterior framing. In fact, it’s often half the time!

Instead of waiting through many months of seemingly slow-moving construction, your structure’s shell is quickly completed and your interior build-out can begin much sooner.

You will be moved in and settled and enjoying your new living space while others, choosing conventionally framed structures, wait for the construction process to be done.

Code Compliance

All types of construction require permitting and approvals throughout the construction process. Steel structures furnished by SteelCo are designed to the exacting standards of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the Metal Building Manufactures Association (MBMA), recognized national building codes Such as IBC and many design and engineering standards that regulate and govern design. Your permitting process will move quickly as local authorities are provided with engineering calculations, details and other critical information from manufacturers pre-approved and recognized for their design excellence.

Construction Assistance

SteelCo Buildings is in Oxford Georgia, and we are limited to an approximate 30-mile radius where we can generally provide recommendations for contractors that can complete the construction of your Barndominium. Beyond that limited area, it’s best to begin by checking with local contracting resources and home builders. They will know contractors that can provide site grading and preparation, concrete slab and foundation placement, steel erection, and framing and finish contractors to complete the buildout of a typical Barndominium where your construction will occur. It’s likely they will be fully capable of taking the designed steel structure and exterior shell SteelCo Buildings has customized to your needs and complete the dream that becomes your new home or workspace. It’s a smart way to build and save and SteelCo stands ready to assist you in any way we can.

Where do you start?

You have already gotten off to a great start by contacting SteelCo for assistance with your new barndominium. But, there’s lots more for you to do. You need to complete your space planning, consider the purchase and preparation of a site for construction, and check local requirements relating to using steel framed buildings for house construction just to mention a few important considerations. We have prepared a planning checklist for you to help identify what needs to be done and how to do it.

If you would like to receive our checklist and other planning tools, feel free to reach out to us by filling out a form or call us at 678-212-2190. If calling, please tell our Admin Assistant that you would like to speak with a barndominium expert, and you will be connected to one of our SMEs to discuss creating your dream barndominium.
