Barndominium Services in Tennessee

Nine ways to get a barndominium out of your head and onto your land. The real choice is not which building type, it is how much of the work you want to carry yourself. Start there and the rest follows.

How much do you want to take on?

Almost every barndominium conversation starts in the wrong place, with square footage. This is the question that actually sorts the options, and it is worth answering honestly before anyone draws anything.

You build it

Drawings only

We design and engineer, you take the sealed set to whichever builder you like. You carry the schedule and the risk, and you keep full control.

We supply, you finish

Kit or shell

Engineered structure delivered, erected by you or by us. Common where an owner has trades in the family, or time and a tractor.

We build it

Turnkey

Raw lot to certificate of occupancy under one contract. One schedule, one point of contact, one party answerable when an inspector has a question.

Everything we draw is sealed for the criteria your jurisdiction adopted

Tennessee does not set one number for the whole state. Table R301.2 in the 2018 residential code is a fill-in table, so each jurisdiction supplies its own design wind speed, ground snow load, seismic design category and frost depth. Those numbers move across the state, so a set drawn to another jurisdiction's criteria is the wrong set for your parcel. That applies whether you buy a kit or a whole house.

Already know how much of this you want to hand over? Start there and we will scope the rest.

Not sure which of these fits? Start your plans and we will tell you which route your project actually wants.

Not sure which one you need?

Most people are not, and that is fine. Tell us about the land and roughly what you want on it, and we will tell you which of these actually applies. That conversation costs nothing.
