Cost To Build Pole Barn House || Cost Estimate 

$64,000 for that?!? People in my town are paying $200,000 - $300,000 for something similar but was built 50 years ago! Guess I'm going to have to build my own place!

I’m sold totally in love with this I’ve got my wife sitting here literally drawing out our floor plan I’m a truck driver don’t know the first thing about carpentry but I’m starting my house now thank you so much for sharing this we live in a double wide we are giving it to our son for Christmas so now we have what we have been looking for thanks again your amazing

We just bought 29 acres 5 minutes outside of Andalusia AL and this looks exactly like what we want to do for our "compound". Only difference, we are doing a smaller living area in a little over half of the building and a large workshop in the remaining area. This video is so very helpful in us putting together our game plan. And we will definitely be getting a quote from the pole barn company. Thank you so much for sharing!

We built our pole building home , 1200 square feet. Plus a 430 square foot porch. My wife and I built all of ours. Did everything start to finish. We have less than $30,000 in it.

To clarify the build cost, does the 30.25 x 2116 = $64k include all contractors, the septic, grass sod, HVAC, carpet, electrical, kitchen appliances, bath fixtures & interior plumbing? We appreciate you sharing the fruits of your labor! May God grant you many years of joy with your lovely family!

I’m a builder and you and your wife did an amazing job! I have been looking into building a house like this for quite some time. We have the same taste in materials, thanks for sharing! :-)

I've been trying to figure out what to build on land purchased back in January. Looked at small traditional home to log cabin to tiny house and mobile home. But this is the best idea yet. Reasonable, efficient, and leaves lots of options. Thank You for sharing your building adventure. Now I know what to do. Merry Christmas

I love the whole home. I’m glad you showed that you used a tankless water heater- and noted the pricing of Amazon.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video! I'm next door in Mississippi, and we've considered doing this for our dream home. Knowing what to expect is so nice! I hadn't thought about the HVAC system costing more, but I'm sure my husband would have anticipated the extra cost for the insulated ducts. He did AC work for almost 20 years. Having all of the details you've given here is such a huge help!

Turned out great at a totally reasonable price. Very impressed.

This turned out beautiful. I would love to see the other rooms and see how big they are. Please do video showing all the rooms. I want to build one sooo bad. Great video!!

This video is the beginning of the process where your channel blows up man! Congrats and keep up the good work!

Nice job buddy! I was the general contractor on my house and that was a true test of my patience and determination. I did all the painting and staining of floors myself and saved some money. But I didn’t do as much as you did. Kudos!

Love this. Forget all that tiny home crap, I want this!!

I turned a horse pole barn into a house, I love it!

I love this. I’ve been looking to scale back with our home and land. Our children are grown and have homes of their own. I haven’t had much luck with thinking of simply selling and purchasing a smaller place, either location, price or something is never right. Thank you for helping me think out of the box!! Great idea!!

We are working on our barn house design now. Waiting on dirt and concrete work now. We are in the TN area. You are using a lot of the same ideas that we plan on using. Well done.

that white pine really brought it together. Love it.

My husband wants to build a barn house. He has always thought about this. I believe that his right. We can build our own barn home and save money doing the labor ourselves. Thank you for this video.

That interior look with the white pine and corrugated ceiling came out real nice. Not hiding the exposed trusses and ac vents was a good idea. Great job.

That house is awesome and I do like the wood walls. Love the big kitchen.

I have been thinking about building a pole barn home, gives me more incentive to do it! Thank you for sharing!

This is amazing!! I know that I am three years late to this party here, but I am sure that the prices are up quite a bit from where they were three years ago, but hopefully it wouldn’t jump up to 200K - 300K. This is just beautiful, Sir. Thank you for sharing all of this!!

I spent about 90 thousand on mine but i included a 2 car garage and infloor heat in house and garage also put in septic tank and drain field. Also mine had to be inspected and he didn't mind spending money. Did it work well there has been a few copies built after mine was

Im planning a polebarn home as well. I really like the overview of each step day by day!

This man is a legend. Beautiful home.

You make it look so simple. You know what I would add to this is if you go to do either a DYI or prefab where you're trying to save money, do a search of locals that do construction in the area that trades might could be traded! Thank you for the great video!

I love this! I’d love to see more of the inside! I’ve seen many tiny homes , shed houses, mobile homes and the cost of this for the size I’d want is honestly pretty great! My friend has a pool barn and I never even thought of making a home from one. Which is crazy bc I thought of sheds & barns, but not a pool barn. So ty for this video. Plus it’s nice to see in the comments you can do it even cheaper. My husband is really handy & his father had built houses so I’m sure a lot could be done by them.

Nice. Glad you were able to do something like this while you are still young. My old house is falling apart, and at 66 I can not do what is needed anymore. Also I live in Fl. and they hammer you on code. Looks really nice and I hope you and your family get many many years of loving use from your home!

This is my new inspiration build!!! Honest, efficient, and affordable. Not pretentious at all. As Leonardo da Vinci wrote, "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

I have thought about doing the same thing, I would change a few things on it, One would be installing about 5 feet of concrete around the building, Other wise you end up with grass, weeds and other debris near the building. Two would be to insulate the concrete. The tankless water heater is awesome, I do not have a place to install one in my house, Yet we had one for our camper and have used them outside.. They are great. The laundry hooks up are very nice, Most people forget about that and opt for the cheap way, As yours is the built in ones that you can get with the PEX type fittings.

I don't care where you put a pole barn no matter what they come out absolutely beautiful when they're done right.and to you sir and your wife you did a beautiful job was a pleasure watching this video. Thank you for downloading....... Just gorgeous 😍❣️

Love it. If I can convince my wife to sell our house I would build a Barndominium also.

Great job brother be proud that is a beautiful home

I'm definitely looking into this. Unfolding this journey this year, and being disciplined. I might need you, sooner than later lol. Thanks for your time, and info. It's very appreciated, and quality it top notch.

We just moved to SW Tennessee this week and didn't know if we wanted to buy or build after our house back home sold. I'm so thankful I ran across your video. You've made our mind up. Thank you! Beautiful home.

This is amazingly brilliant! You ought to be very proud of what you've accomplished. I am a senior living outside of the country but I want to come back to Texas to retire with a pole barn house completely paid off. It will cost more for me cause I will need more labor but it is still better quality and cheaper.

I'm blown away. A very honest build!

Glad I happened on your channel. Vintage Tom and I also built a pole barn (not as a home but a place for me to use as a summer kitchen, pantry and craft room and as a actual barn for equipment) it's 30 X 40 with concert floor with only electric. WE installed two Pellet stoves and are doing all the finishing work ourselves. So far we have about $36,000. invested and plan on another $ 15,000. to complete. I love the way yours turned out. I am also installing clap board to the walls. Thanks for sharing your build. It looks wonderful ~hippie chick~

Very nice job young man. Way to see a family working together. And taking the DIY way of making your dreams come true and saving a bundle.. Your family is truly a inspiration...

I guess location makes the difference in what something cost. I few years ago I was putting my feelers out there in what a 30x52 pole building was gonna cost me. If my memory is correct think it was around 50K(49,XXX$) 30X52 with 3 big garage doors, 2 on the front, 1 in the back middle, 6” of concrete to support a lift, 1 man door entrance, 2 windows with grids, over hang at all eves, wainscoting and snow keep... on a side note that a beautiful pole building home and I think that price is very reasonable. I live in north eastern PA.

Being in trade school rn, 6 days sounds about right for what I'm seeing, rough framing is not that hard, if it's all you do, you can have a 2 story framed up in like 2 weeks

That's was a smart move and you all have a beautiful home

Also remember that Lowe's gives veterans 10% off. If you're building something like this, those savings can really start to add up. (Also, if you ain't a veteran, you probably know somebody who is. Bring them along for the purchase!;))

This video was just recommended to me from RU-vid very impressive, I built a log house a while back and I just had the dry-in done and did a complete finish on the inside. everything that you did completely open floor plan, never thought of doing a butler style building really great idea and I like the outcome and the price point is just incredibly good in today's over the top builder pricing. And building something like that that you did with your own two hands is a feeling that cannot be replaced by anything you can buy finished congratulations!

Love the accent. Hope your new house is filled with joy.

You did a great job! Nice that you kept the cost down by doing so much of the work yourselves. Congratulations!

Great job! My husband and I have been in the construction industry for many years and were impressed!

The tin ceiling and concrete floors are great.

Between you and the wife, nice job!

Thank you for all the info on prices and time it took to build. My favorite part was when you were talking about your wifes skills. That was sweet.

I think that for your first build you've done a great job. And you you kept your cost down. As a contractor myself that's exactly what I try to do is keep cost as low as possible without skimping on the heat and air as well as Appliances and the trim out. Because that's one thing I tell all my customers is that you don't want to get almost finished and then put a bunch of cheap looking trim and Appliances at the end of the job. Just a little tip though if I would've done the floors I would've put at least 3 coats on that way in a years time you wouldn't notice the high traffic areas of the floors. I usually do 5 coats but a minimum of 3. It just looks alot better and shines a bit more but like I said you won't notice the high traffic areas near as soon as you will having only put 1 coat on. But I think you done a great job with it. Hell I've seen some contractors not do a good as job as you have. Enjoy your new house and God Bless.

VERY grateful for your efforts a sharing of your process. You've built a fine home, and have helped me to further-convince my wife of the merits of building "outside of the box". Good on ya!

Really like the exposed iron and the corrugated tin ceiling. Very nice look!

Never even considered a pole barn home. Very nicely done brother!

Y'all did a good job. I love the white pine on the walls. That's a cute kid.

I put Metal pole building around my swimming pool and in the inside will use cedar turned out very nice

I like it a lot. The only thing I would have done differently is NO CARPET, I have some nice rugs I've collected over the years. I love the look, it's fresh and clean and not the same old thing everyone else does.

Great Idea! It's real versatile, it allows for alot of floorplan layouts. Heck, if you wanted to you could put in a second floor loft with this building.

You call yourself an amateur that is beautiful double thumbs up can't wait to buy my own land to build my house hope it turns out just as good as yours

Job WELL DONE!!! ;-) I've always wanted to do exactly what you just did except also having a shop with it.

"In our area we don't have a lot of uh stipulations as far as permits and things like that..." at 4:36. Sounds like heaven... I live in communist Multnomah County, Oregon, our septic system cost 28k to put in- tanks, sand filter, and drain field...19 k was permits. 17 years later we're having to replace the tanks due to a leak and going through the same process.

That is a very nice home. You all did a great job. And the sense of pride and accomplishment just adds to your investment.

You sure did a fine job on the inside and the porches! My wife and I have recently got married and we are looking for a cheap way to build a home and I showed her your videos and she loved it so I reckon that is how we are going to go! Thanks for all your info you have provided on your videos!!

I was instantly comforted by your accent lol.

UNCLEDOUG SAYS YOU DID WELL DAD !! I LIKE IT !!

That’s Awesome Man, I bought 5 acres in TN last year and plan build a shop with living space first. This is just what I was looking for.

You, your wife, son, and helpful friends did a great job. The price is WoW. My favorite part is your multiuse covered porch. The entertaining and gatherings there could be incredible, memorable and even just as a family relaxing. Best Wishes and Godspeed!

Thank you for sharing! I'd planned to do something similar, but had to settle on a smaller, 30x40, pole barn only build. But, I still plan to finish a corner of it as a living space. I appreciate that you captured the whole build process so well!!

Nice, but when doing your drains your can't put santee's on their side, they should be a combi (wye-1/8 bend). Codes or not, it is your house.

Looks so nice. We’re buying my grandparents’ old home place in northeast Mississippi, and this is the kind of place we’d like to build there.😊

Man this sure gives me hope of an affordable home. Just gotta get the wife on board with it! Thank you for the inspiration!

absolutely love this man, smart spending and you got a beautiful home. i hope to do something similar in a few years but maybe with some shop space

We just built a pole barn house in MN. Also something we had never done before. I like your trusses but there was no way you could use those up here.

Great video and description. Clear info and rationale. Hard to find videos like this that are honest and to the point.

You n your wife made a great team beautiful home congratulations on your new home

So what was your total cost out the door ,in all,after everything including insurance and land.?????$$$$$

Love it and would Love to see a tour of the Finished House :) Great Job.

This video is an answer to our prayers.

Were breaking ground in 2 weeks, thanks for the vid and ideas, Very nice place you have.

I'm so impressed, it really is amazing.

You did a great job! I’m currently trying to convince my husband that we do have this option.. that we too can do this . Thankyou for sharing.

Love, love, love your beautiful home!! The only thing I would add is some shutters around your windows just to polish off the exterior look! Thank you so very much for sharing your experience with us and for the in-depth explanation of how to come up with an estimate for our own future projects. From watching your videos, I believe you have given many people the inspiration to take the leap towards their own dreams of home ownership ❤️

Looks awesome ! In the future , remember you can only use a santee vertically . Use a combo (wye & 45) horizontally .

I really like this idea and love the interior look! Great job

Looks great, That's exactly what i'd like to have, Thumbs up

In my area if you started out "intending" to make this building for your farm animals (horses, cows, etc. ) you could build it without all the interference. After you get the shell built you convert it into a house. As far as septic it is not a job to try and do yourself unless you own an excavating business. Great video nice work and doesn't it feel good living in the house that you built. Thanks for sharing. It's exactly what I need for my next business and when I build it of course it will be a stand alone garage and avoid to many codes and inspectors.

This was a beautiful build brother. I am convinced me and my wife can do this together. Good stuff, God bless

I just happened upon your video and was intrigued about the pole barn being used as a home There are tons of other videos on them but yours is the first I've seen. I'm very impressed! What a beautiful he that you both built. The finished look is beautiful. Sorta a mix of urban and country which are opposites but in this vase it works very well. May I ask what state your in with the R23 insulation? Will you be putting up any other structures? God bless you and your family and wishing you a beautiful life together in your home!

What a great job you guys did on your home. You had good ideas and the finished product turned out very nice especially since you’ve never attempted something like this. 👍

My family is getting ready to start this Pole Barn house adventure. Thank you for all the information.

Y'all are my heroes. Wow. Me and my daughter about to embark on our home build, and we are deciding which way to go. Quonset Hut or Pole Barn. Thank you for being so good at detail.

Nice Job! I love all the concrete floors that you kept natural. I’m guessing your down south by the red clay(maybe I missed it) Only change I would make is lowering ceilings to the 10-12ft sidewall for better heating/cooling efficiency. I’m up in Michigan where temps can run -15 in winter to 80’s in summer. My only question is did you thermal heat you concrete? It has become popular up in the cold north. Well doneI’m jealous!

How do you like the sound/silence of the building now that you're living with the tin ceiling and a three year old in it? Nice build. Your relatively low costs are a surprise to me. I had built a 24x32 foot pool barn a year ago. It cost just under $26 a sq ft, and that was about half the normal rate around here. Good shopping on yours.

This is what I'm thinking about doing, but I want to design my own kit, buy from a supply store and put it together myself. I've built houses, I've built pole barns, even one HUGE pole barn for horses. I have friends who can do electric and plumbing(whatever I dont do myself). Here in WV, theres 20-40 acre lots all over for 60-80 grand. Really considering this.

What a beautiful home! Thank you so much for such a detailed insight, it was a great tour.

Congrats, beautiful home.

I love it. I'm thinking about taking on a project like this and am wondering how long it all took, start to finish.

Best real video I have seen. All the rest just want to tell you everything cost $70 a square foot. And all they do is walk around and talk about how it's decorated.

Thank you so much for the post! We just bought a house 3 months ago and it’s 16 years old. Been looking into doing a project like this instead for a forever home! Truly amazing. This video is giving me the motivation to possibly sell our house, maybe live with family while we build something like this. I’m completely sold on this idea.
