Cost of Building a Barndominium Home | Texas Best Construction 

Ashleigh Nunez I would have a lot of questions. And it would depend on location. More than likely if it wasn’t too close we might not travel much for a partial build.

Would you build in Waco?

Texas Best Construction Thanks!!! Is the $40 sq ft for concrete, walls, roof, electrical,plumbing ? I have a small remodel company out of Fort Worth, so we can do all the finishing. I’m looking to build a shop with small living qts, already have the lot bought off of Hulen. Thanks.

Does this provide resistance against natural disasters like tornados and etc..?

Texas Best Construction Great video does your company build in Cleveland Texas 77327

You ain’t crazy. So many folks want to do that. Thank you

I've seen it. Works great.

get some acres around it and youll be happy for life

Only crazy people say “I’m not crazy”

^_^You're not crazy at ALL!! Here in the Antelope Valley, we have here at our home a 40' trailer. We didn't even know some homeless guy had broken in to the trailer and was living in it for about a week before we caught him. People are BALLSY and when they're desperate they don't care if they broke your lock off and do damage to your stuff. I'm with you, @TheSoloAsylum, I'd want my stuff protected from anyone and anything!? That's SMART, not crazy!!

Thanks Mark!

So, I watched the other vid of the walkthrough of the place you featured in this episode, what did that one cost to build sans the appliances.

Mark Randle he will probably get a lifetimes worth of business from this too!!

@@TexasBestBarndominium Do you come out of state? Lol Sussex county Delaware here!

No joke

Yes sir thank you for noticing

This sounds like what I want to do, Small living quarters that I can park my trailer in. Do you have any pictures

@@bikecave5917 yes i do

Wow what state?

@@androidgeeking South Texas, the $250k cost does not include the 2.5acre property.

Nice! Wish you could share pictures on here id love to see!

Yes, $10 for chips. $200 for t-bone....lol....

It's still possible to give an average based off statistics of previous customers if you know how to do math. However I will say that is an excellent analogy and it's just in my nature to argue haha.

Thank you! JH

The algorithm fails plenty of content creators.

Lol. Those are qualities I’d have to agree with. JH

Yes, that’s the nicest-looking beard I ever saw. Only God could design that.

@@TexasBestBarndominium do I need to compliment your beard before you'll respond to my request of wanting a barndo built?

Ha ha...good point.

@Adymn Sani she??🤔

Thank you Barry. Definitely try to!!

Thank you! We Love Risinger

Thank you

Thanks William please check the latest update we posted to pricing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Le0CAo8z3Rw.html

Thanks man!

Josh, I wish you were building in Ga ! I would be calling you up. You guys seem to be building the best home possible! Thanks for sharing

How much did it cost you?

Matthew R thank you sir. Appreciate that feedback!

a ballpark is still an acceptable response though. they have client builds and square footage and cost. they could easily say "our clients tend to spend about xxx amount per square foot for a customized house.". but i know it wouldn't appease everyone.

Well said 👍. I wondered how long it would be before Josh got pestered enough to do something like this LOL.

Matthew Crockett lol. I think the last video was boiling point. 😁🤪 maybe 200 comments of How much. I just can’t bring myself to blabbering to everyone what an individual spent in the home. Anyhow. Hope this helps for now!

Thank you 🙏 much appreciated

I understand that feeling. Thank you for sharing! JH

Lol 😂

lol

Thanks mike! JH

Christopher Terry thank you!

Thanks for watching JH

Thank you and to you and yours as well! JH

Thank you!

Steve Clark thanks man. So true! Thanks for subscribing as well!

That is a good point! it is like going grocery shopping with no list.... sit down figure out what you want in your home and write a list of must haves.

@@TexasBestBarndominium would it be beneficial for someone to draw up a rough floorplan of the layout and what they want?

Steve Clark actually Steve you can get baseline numbers on a car just to let you know! When you go an buy a Mustang you have different models, you pick a model at a starting price and then you add to it. Try better next time. Everything should have a base.

Thanks 😊

Straightener and a lot of product

Alan 😂 shh...you’re giving up the secrets! 😂😂😂

Elsa C no product on this beard boy’s.

Texas Best Construction my faith is restored!

Thank you!

Florence Tatro thanks man. Not bottom line pricing though. That’s what this video will help those who know what they need to put a price together in there own. Thanks for watching

Thank you JH

Thank you, JH

Correct

JUST HODL

HODL

Das right!

Word. Same same. Stay holding

Holding for you 👍

That is important. You might have to divide up the work load but get a game plan and strategize how each contractor can contribute to your main goal.

@@TexasBestBarndominium Thank you for the advice and reply. Going through some of your previous uploads to better educate myself. I am leaning towards that GC myself and subcontract out to get the right finished project mindset. It all just feels so overwhelming haha

Glad it was helpful! Prices are approximately 30-40% higher currently

@@TexasBestBarndominium thank you for replying! I will def be contacting y’all in a year or so when we get ready to build😊

Come on!

Just remember why Texas is the way it is, electing the right representatives is a very serious matter.

You're not from California are you? LOL. Just kidding. Sort of.

@@mmabagain Don't judge all Californian's by the idiot blue-voters clogging our big cities. Quite a few of the rest of us are decent, red-voting conservatives.

@@MaxineAnne77 Very welcome here then. Come on down!

Any time is train time

So that's like 120k is my math right

@@whocares5188 that's about right. Since I commented last year, I took a change in scales and so therefore i no longer need a 100' building since I went down to a much smaller scale of train. I'm now easily impressed with a 60'×80' honestly.

Thank you Cameron! Give us a shout! JH

There you go! JH

Your welcome thank you.

Love these

Thank you JH

My math has you at 288,000 for a 2400 sq ft. area at 120.00 dollars a sq ft.

Well there are quite a few individuals that certainly put a lot of sweat equity in the barndo’s however not everyone is willing to do that. Also they may wouldn’t go to the distance on all the items mentioned here on building scope. Thank you for your perspective and comment. I would have to agree with your assessment! JH

It used to be economical to build a bardominium!!

Great! JH

Thank you George! JH

Does well. Much better than shingles.

Not currently sorry 😐 JH

Yeah, that really is an incredible price for custom home.

I keep hoping they branch out in KS, hopefully sooner rather than later!

And AZ

@@TexasBestBarndominium Well....never a bad time to look at Texas to have a home and raise a family.

Well with interstitial space between and the joist and subfloor system it still will be close to the same parameters on cost for living and shop area.

@@TexasBestBarndominium One thing I forgot to ask, I see you use 2x6 walls and foam insulation. How does that compare cost wise to ICF? I like the idea of ICF for storm protection.

We don’t have comparative prices with those products. Currently we haven’t had a client wish to use ICF.

CreativeGuy Well they’re not gonna just blow over super easy plus they are made out of steel beams & wood which the exterior walls are thicker than your typical conventional home. I don’t quite understand why folks assume that a conventional home is going to withstand a tornado or a major storm anyhow. I’ve seen a hailstorm have hailstones go straight through shingled roof’s.

@@TexasBestBarndominium Very true! I remember in the 80's my parents took us kids up to North Western Pa to see the damage after tornadoes rolled though. I remember seeing homes completely gone and one that sticks with me today is the one that ad nothing but a staircase to no where left. Thanks for the info :)

Man that is a picture that sticks with you isn’t it. We saw the effects of Hurricane Katrina did some work there. I was there within 3 days of the storm. Will never forget those images.

Lesa w I know it can be overwhelming! Trying to do our part! 😁

In Florida they meat the “hurricane codes”, meaning they resist up to 140mph winds, I have never been exposed to a tornado so I can’t say much about that but for the most part I would say it would hold up pretty well

The only thing that wins against an F5 is a bomb shelter. F5 has been known to pull up common city street pavement, trees and grass leaving a brown swath of nothing on the ground where the funnel touched down and all of the debris scattered for miles. A common "stick built" house might withstand F2. 140 mph wind rating is in lower F3. I've seen wind ratings of 115 mph to 150 mph for steel buildings with R panel sidings and roof, before adding the internal bracing that the wall framing and spray foam adds. I've seen an older technology steel tractor shed (appx 60 X 90 with 20 ft sidewall) survive a direct hit that snapped an oak tree with 2 ft dia trunk. That was probably a F2.

Nothing you can do when it comes to a tornado! Engineers can’t really predict how a structure will really preform because of the way the winds are in a tornado. Not like straight line wind in a hurricane or thunderstorm.

Only a concrete dome home will stand up to the strongest storms

DanTheManIOM I'd rather that than the -30 Celsius that I have outside my place right now

Walnut Creek California gets over 115 in the summer. That is a 45 min drive east from San Francisco. And have you lived in Nebraska with that heat and humidity?

As someone who has lived in Texas my whole life (over 35 years), you get use to it. I live near Houston and it is far worse down here that in Dallas because the humidity in Dallas is bearable, while in Houston it is horrendous at times. Now all that said, I just came back from Montana helping a buddy move, and it got down to 16 degrees, which to my understanding is not even cold for Montana and I can tell you, I don't know how the hell people live in that! I am a big guy (over 300 lbs) so I come equipped with natural insulation, but I had on a shirt, thermal long sleeve with fleece lining, thick hoodie, then a medium insulated Gore-Tex jacket to cut the wind, and I was STILL cold as hell! Furthermore we had to drive 35 to 40 mph every where because everything is covered in snow and ice! Yes we had a 4x4 truck, with traction control, ABS and snow rated tires. We were still spinning at times if we went over about 40 mph. Driving across all of Montana at 40 mph max, sucks! Once we got about half way through Wyoming and the snow and ice cleared, we were running 85 mph to try to get a head of the cold front that was coming in. In Montana during the day, nobody was outside. Sitting in my house or work only for 4 months out of the year sounds depressing. Down here in Texas, during our days off when it's over 100, we just go to the river, lake or beach... Problem solved. Trust me, the hundreds of thousands of women running around in bikinis makes it "unbearable" 🤣

@@Steven-gv1ke hey Steven I got dat Natural Insulation too! Cant even imagine what 180 lb ers feel in the cold .

You bet
