The Two Hardest Parts? We Do Those.
You can manage the build yourself. It's the plan and the materials that eat up your time and money, so those are the two parts we take care of.
We draw your plan
A custom barndo drawn around how you live and built for your county's permitting.
We pack your materials
Every board, panel, window, and door in one coordinated delivery, matched to your plan.
Two jobs off your plate, and the scattered process becomes one clear path to the barndo you actually want to live in.
What You Get, Start to Finish
One clear path from your first call to the day you break ground. You always know what comes next.

The Materials Kit
Order whenever you're ready. Many owner-builders wait until they're permitted and financed, but you don't have to. When you order, we pack the kit from one source, every board that builds your barndo, and ship it as one coordinated delivery.
| Two ways to build it | Basic | Upgraded Faster |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A complete, coordinated material package matched to your plan | Everything in Basic, plus the Rapid Framing System panels |
| Framing | Standard framing | Pre-engineered panels that frame your shell faster |
| Best for | Owner-builders who want the full kit in one delivery | Owner-builders who want to get dried in sooner |
What's in the kit: the framing kit, exterior shell, roofing, windows and doors, fasteners, and more, all matched to your plan and built from quality brands you know (Pella, Therma-Tru, GRK).
See what's includedWe Don't Leave You Building Blind.
Every kit comes with a Build Support Package: your design plan, step-by-step instructions for how the pieces go together, and a walkthrough with our team to confirm you've got everything. When a question comes up mid-build, you call us.

One Clear Path to the Barndo You Want
The barndo process is scattered, unpriced, and unclear. We take that apart and hand you one clear path, then get out of your way. You stay the builder. You keep what you earn.
The drawing, the pricing, and the sourcing, connected into one set of steps you can actually follow.
The build, the management, and the savings. Do the work, run your subs, or run your own GC.
Here's what that clear path gives you:
Customization
A plan built to what you want, drawn around your land.
One source
Every material from one place, not seven.
Speed
Materials on site in as little as six weeks.
Savings
Build or manage it yourself and keep the GC markup.
The person who built their own home, their way, and kept the money. That's who walks off this job.
Why Us Instead of the Alternatives
A turnkey builder takes the whole job and the whole markup. A cheap kit hands you a bare shell and gaps to fill. We give you a custom plan and a complete kit, and you keep the savings.
| Category | Barndo Kit Co | Turnkey builder | Cheap barndo kit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your plan | Custom, drawn around your land and built for permitting | Their standard plans, limited changes | One fixed shape, take it or leave it |
| Your materials | Every material in one delivery, matched to your plan | Marked up and bundled with labor | A basic kit, you fill the gaps from other vendors |
| Who builds it | Your call: DIY, self-manage, or hire a builder, and we fit any path | They do, and you pay the markup | You do, on your own |
| The savings | Build or manage yourself and keep the markup | GC markup baked in | Cheap up front, costly gaps later |
| Builder markup | None, plans and materials go direct to source | 15–30% on materials, and they mark up the plans too | None, but you fill the plan and material gaps yourself |
| Your path | One clear path, with a real person when you want one | Hands-off, but hands off your money too | You're on your own to figure it out |
Great quality kits and great customer service. The best in the industry!
Common Questions
What will my build cost?
When do I order my materials?
Does the design fee count toward anything?
What if I'm not happy with the design?
Is the MEP design extra?
Can you use a plan I already have?
How fast does this move?
Is the call a sales pitch?
The goal is not to spend another six months comparing plans, chasing quotes, and second-guessing every step. The goal is to get a clear path from idea to materials to build, so you can move closer to the barndo you actually want to live in.
You can build this.
You just need it all in one place: the plan, the pricing, the materials, and a clear next step. That's the call.
