How Much Did It Cost To Build Our Barndominium in 2023 & Where We Went Over/Under Our Budget
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- In this video, I discuss what was our total cost to build our barndominium along with the top three areas we went over budget and the top three areas we were under budget. We started building our barndominium in March of 2022 and we finished in April of 2023. Our barndo is 40ft x 45 ft, three bedrooms, 2 bath, red iron steel building.
Thanks for making this video!
Very useful information and your honesty was the most beneficial part of the video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found this info helpful.
you don't know how much this info helped me, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this was very helpful ❤
You're welcome!
Very helpful. Very kind of you to take the time to offer this info. Thank you!
Thank you!
WOW!! I had no idea that a wood stove would cost so much. I guess I will just be freezing this winter. LOL You did a great job on the video and I appreciate the breakdown as to what what less and what was more. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! It was a lot higher than I was expecting. I was naive and thought when you bought the stove that it came with all of the chimney/pipes parts. It was also difficult to find someone to install a woodstove that you had purchased from somewhere else. Just one of the many things I learned the hard way along this journey.
Very informative video. Two comments on being your own contractor. First, it will be a very stressful job as you said. I did this twice while working a full time job and both times swore I'd never do it again. Second comment is that being your own contractor normally only applies if you have your own money. Most banks or lenders won't lend you money and allow you to be your own contractor.
Thank you. You are right, it is hard to find a bank that allows you to be your own contractor.
You really should have shown your house at some time during the presentation
Thanks for the tip. I didn't think to do that because I had already created a video prior about building our barndo. Here is the link to that video if you want to take a look: ruclips.net/video/dJnvjC7vs-s/видео.htmlsi=Q1WWpjx5y3SOcHkr
Good job Mrs Kristen 😍😊
thank you
I will never do spray foam again. We had a fire in our last home & the toxins from the burning insulation killed all our pets almost immediately & left us very sick for months. Rock wool is fireproof.
Oh no! I am sorry that had happened. Sprayfoam was actually a very difficult decision for us, because I was wanting rock wool throughout because of it being fireproof.
We are in Georgia as well... Sounds like we built around the same as y'all and our initial quote verses our final was very different (and a lot higher) We were living on the property at that point in an rv so it needed to get done. We also got spray foam and it's worth the $$.
Hi! Yes, we were also living in our RV so waiting for prices to drop was not an option for us. We did the best we could with what we had and were are so happy in our barndo. I hope ya'll are enjoying yours as well
Cool
Great info thank you!!
You're welcome!
I would love to see more about your experience as being your own general contracting.
I have had several people request this. I've got one coming down the pipeline, hopefully soon. Thanks for the suggestion
Omg that’s what I wanted to do thanks for the informations.
You're welcome!
Thanks for your information, we are hoping to build our retirement home.in oklahoma.
Did your total of 211k I'm include land?
How much was the total on just material? Does that include plumbing and sewer?
Hi! The total cost did not include the land, bit it did include our septic. I do not have the number of what just the materials cost but I have another video where I broke down how much we paid for each thing
Thank you for this informative video! Did you have to install a septic? What was the cost? Was it included in your overall? What about digging a well? What about power? Local utility or solar?
Hi! Yes, we did septic. Our septic cost us $7545. This was included in our overall price. We did not dig a well. We have local utility for power which cost us $625 to get permanent power run to our property. Thanks for watching!
@@kristenremington153 Thanks for your reply
That's not bad if you are including the cost of the land???
We are going to be starting a bardo build. My father in law is a contractor but does small work. How do you tell a contractor that you would like to subcontract work to other people without them getting upset? We’ve never done a build before.
Hi! I personally did not have a similar situation, but I would suggest putting the blame on the bank? Maybe say something like, the bank will only allow us to use licensed electricians, etc. but then tell your father in law what he could help with, like painting
Tyvm for sharing
You are so welcome!
Oooh weee. I didn't expect them to cost that much
Construction costs and building materials are all up. Definitely costs more than it did 5-10 years ago
@@kristenremington153 I think my costs will be lower because I'm planning a shop with a small living space.
Great Info. Im in Rabun County and have been waiting for prices to come down. Concrete here is still around 300 per yard.
That is crazy! We love Rabun County. Tried finding land there but there wasn't many options
Definitely on all 3 of those first items you talked about, you should have researched, shopped around and gotten several quotes. Way too much money
Who did you guys use for your construction loan? Also was it a one time closing??
Yes, it was a one-time closing. We went with AgSouth
@@kristenremington153 thank you!
Salute
If you dont mind me asking, what bank did you go through? I know most banks will require a licensed GC
we went through a local farm credit union. Usually they have more flexibility than the big banks
What did it cost for water or well?? what about water hose connections?? did you use a tank water heater or on demand water heater?? what about air conditioners? So I plan on moving but looking for a new place at 65 yrs old its going to be a challenge. Thanks
Hi! We did not dig a well and opted for county water. The cost to connect to county water cost us about $1300. We have a 50gal electric water heater. Our air conditioner is a heat pump. We tried moving to CO before we decided to build in GA and it was very costly up there
@@kristenremington153 The prices here in Colorado are going up so fast they are pricing themselves out of my wallet. Live on the western slope by Utah border. Have to sell this house I'm in and moving out of Colorado. Utube mentioned these videos and got to watching them. And what I like most about those places is the open and lots of light. Have you thought about solar and sky lights?? Or back up generator????
We really wanted solar, but it was out of our budget. It's definatly something that we are interested in the future for though@@dianabirchman7540
Hi, who was your lender?
Hello. AgSouth
Good info. What would I be responsible for as acting as my own GC. I know nothing about building but I'm willing to learn to save money on our own future project. Thanx in advance.
Hi! If I can do it, you can do it. You main responsibilities would be getting quotes and hiring contractors, creating a construction schedule and scheduling when contractors come to do the work, know your build budget inside and out, purchase supplies for the build and having them on site for contractors. If you are doing some of the work yourself, you will have to be familiar with any codes for that (example, we did the interior framing, so we had to know about load bearing, non load bearing code laws, fire blocking, ceiling joist placements, etc). I hope this was helpful.
@kristenremington153 thank you much for the reply!
Can you talk more about being your own general contractor. Things you wish you could change and things you are happy about
Thank you for the great ideas. I will tell you the one thing I would do differently is I would have paid an architect to draw up the plans instead of doing it on my own. It would have made some of the process easier
How far in advance you book every one
you cant book too far in advance because things take way longer than expected. When I was gettingalmost done with one step, we were calling the next contractor letting them know when we would be ready. Then they would get us next in line@@suzannereese987
What about AC total cost? I didn't see any vents or AC piping as your cieling was finished. Also if you went with an industrial cieling look how much would you save by deleting the ceiling drywall?
Hello. Our HVAC cost us around $7k. We considered having an open ceiling with exposed beams and spray foam but we chose not to. Main reasons were because of concerns on how the spray foam would look and also needing a special paint to paint over the spray foam and also it would have higher energy costs because of having high vaulted ceilings. Exposed ductwork was also going to cost us a little more to have. We didn't think it would be a large enough cost savings to do that
Did you do the work yourselves or you hired companies? I.e. the insulation, slab, etc
Hi! We did a mixture of both. We did some of the clearing, interior framing, and most of the finish work. We contracted out the rest. Here is a video of our build process if interested ruclips.net/video/dJnvjC7vs-s/видео.html
$225k plus the land. does the $225k include all the permits?
Hello! Yes it did. Here is a video I made where I broke down the cost: ruclips.net/video/shcJqsck0Oo/видео.html
Wait ? Did this video not include the property or did it cut it off ?
Hi! I did not include our property cost in the total amount. The total amount was just for the building process.
where in Georgia ? im lookin g to build one in the Woodstock/Canton area
We're in the Toccoa/Clarkesville/Clayton area
So for those of us beginning our journey in to barndo ownership, your video lacks visual clarity. SHOW ME what you are referring to is
How long of a process was it from start to finish?
Hi! We started March 2022 and finished April 2023
Can you do something info to give for the loan.
How much was the plumbing and electrical? Thanks
Plumbing was around 10,000 and electric was around 12,000. Both of these amounts were for rough-in and finish work and they did not include any fixtures
@@kristenremington153😮😮😮😮I would sell the home. That’s extremely expensive or you are right, research is important.
@jackies35 in our area, that's about average for these costs. We subcontracted out for electrical and plumbing. I tried to get at least 3 quotes from different companies. Sometimes we went with cheaper one, sometimes not. Definitely not selling (too much blood, sweat, and tears went into this build, lol). Really hoping this is our forever home.
Is the Woodstove made out of cocaine!?! $8k is insane.
It was pricey, more than we were expecting. We did get 3 different quotes and they were all comparable. Our stove cost 2k and the rest was for the piping/chimney, hearth, tile surround, and installation.
😂😂
Is this with land included?
No, this was just to build the barndominium
Would have been nice to see the finished product.
Hi! Yeah, I didn't think to include tgat since I made a video prior on our build. Here's the link if you're interested ruclips.net/video/dJnvjC7vs-s/видео.htmlsi=cQops0OwgTsNt-7D
You got robbed for the woods stove, I woulda never let a builder do that without my consent
It was pricey, more than we were expecting. We did get 3 different quotes and they were all comparable. Our stove cost 2k and the rest was for the piping/chimney, hearth, tile surround, and installation.
$225k ------> youre welcome 😋
House tour ?
Hi! I have another video of our build process. House tour at the end. ruclips.net/video/dJnvjC7vs-s/видео.html
TEACH US,
Why didn’t you show the property
Hello. I have showed a little bit of our property in a previous video: ruclips.net/video/dJnvjC7vs-s/видео.html
No offense by emotions will drain your pockets
8k wood stove? You got ripped off big time.

Slab to big
Nope
