Barndominium Design Pros

Plan It Right. Build It Smart. Expert Guidance for Every Step of Your Barndo Journey.

We are a multi-brand, client-focused organization dedicated to supporting barndominium and metal building projects from the ground up. With a national reach and deep industry experience, our team guides property owners, developers, and builders through the essential early phases of construction—offering clarity, structure, and momentum where it’s often needed most.

 

What started with Metal Building Resources, our core company supplying high-quality steel structures, has grown into a comprehensive ecosystem of services tailored to the real needs of today’s barndo and metal building clients. Over time, we saw a common pattern: clients were excited to build—but overwhelmed by what came first. Questions about zoning, budgets, floor plans, and permit requirements often slowed or stalled their progress.

 

That’s why we evolved.

 

Through our specialized brands, we now provide a streamlined and supportive experience for anyone preparing to build a barndominium, workshop, garage, or hybrid living space. Our work centers around solving the headaches that come before construction even begins—things like unclear design direction, unreliable quotes, missed permitting requirements, and lack of coordination between professionals.

 

From design planning and estimating to permitting and professional referrals, we offer services that remove friction and add structure. Our goal is to equip our clients with everything they need to build smart—from concept to permit—without unnecessary delays, dead ends, or surprises.

 

We are not a one-size-fits-all solution. We are a well-integrated team of experts who understand the unique path each client is on, and we’ve built our systems to meet them wherever they are in the journey.

 

At our core, we believe the pre-construction phase sets the tone for the entire project. When it’s done right, everything that follows becomes easier.

That’s why we do what we do—so you can plan it right, and build it smart.

Barndominium Design Concierge

As a Barndominium Design Concierge, we offer a comprehensive service that combines our expertise in creating Barndominium designs that harmoniously integrate the rustic allure of a barn while incorporating the personalized design and feel that our clients want in their home. Through meticulous attention to detail, personalized service, and a concierge-level approach, we walk alongside our clients from design, through permitting, contractor selection, through the construction phase, to the certificate of occupancy.

Permitting Assistance

Permitting can be a tedious process, especially without the proper experience. The permitting process can be significantly shortened and much less painful when you have experts by your side that know what the building and planning departments need. With our experience not only in design but also in construction documentation, we make the permitting process much easier while working with the local building departments.

Owner's representative

As an owner's representative, we take pride in overseeing every aspect of the residential design process, from conception to completion. By providing a concierge level of service, we ensure that each client's unique vision is brought to life with the utmost attention to detail and quality. Although this is construction, and it's almost a guarantee that issues will arise, having an owner's representative by your side will mitigate most issues and bridge the common communication gap between the homeowner and the contractor, which is where most issues lay.

Portfolio

My wife and I reached out to a handful of metal building folks to help us with a project.
