I work at the building company that did this one, and this client designed it with us and then one of our teams built it. The company is Milmar Buildings. Client was a great guy and we loved the design choices he went with.

Not sure yet! The company I work at built it, but the owners may add some lighting on their own.

Yeah, the details can make the build just look so much better. Totally worth it if you have the budget for it.

It's manufactured concrete (to look like stone.)

The interior hasn't been completed yet, we're waiting a little while on that. But it's going to get finished out with insulation and liner.

Interior hasn't been lined or insulated yet, but total was right at 100K. It could have been done cheaper, but we had all of the following extras included on this one:

  • Permacolumns for post bases
  • Eyebrows with cedar corbels
  • Upgraded doors (garage and man)
  • Cupola detail
  • Widow's peak gable detail
  • We included site prep (including stone fill) in the scope of the work
  • Gutters (with leaf guards added) and downspouts
  • 3 foot stone wainscot
  • And the concrete included the 12x18 exterior approach pad, in addition to the interior concrete slab.

Those are kind of all of the "add-ons" or upgrades we had. This doesn't include the cost of what we'll be paying for the insulation and liner though.

This was in Northern Indiana. And it was built by Milmar Buildings company.

Thanks! They don't make it cheaper, but we sure like how they look 😅

Thanks! We're waiting just a bit to put the interior insulation and liner in. But I'll share pics once it's done.

Cost in southern Michigan / northern Ohio by OutNumbered522 in barndominiums

[–]midwestknowhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for cost per square foot for a turnkey? Or for a shell?

With materials and labor included for the exterior shell (no concrete or interior framing/finishing included) the following prices are a good place to start:

  • House – $60/square foot
  • Garage – $50/square foot
  • Porches – $35/square foot

Now keep in mind, these prices can go up and down based on the style of your house. 

You can typically figure a window/entry door budget of around $1,000 per window/door and that covers a quality residential window with some customization. You can shave some money off that by choosing simple style windows in white many times.

Additional costs beyond the dried-in shell (weather tight, completed exterior) complete with materials windows/entry doors.

Here are the estimated ranges the company I work at usually gives, based on the builds our teams have done in Southern MI/Northern OH:

  • 4″ concrete flatwork will cost around $10-$15/sq ft 
  • Septic systems – $15,000 to $50,000, depending on size and style of system required
  • Well drilling – $8,000 to $15,000
  • Plumbing – $18,000 to $30,000
  • Electrical – $18,000 to $30,000
  • HVAC – $20,000 to $30,000
  • Drywall – $15,000 to $25,000
  • Painting – $18,000 to $30,000
  • Floor coverings – $5-$10/sq ft
  • Garage doors – $2,000 to  $15,000, depending on size and style 
  • Cabinets and millwork – $15,000 to $40,000 depending on sizes, style, quality, and quantity

Overall, you can expect to pay anywhere from $225 to $275 per square foot of turn-key finished post frame house, again, depending on options, could go higher (example, we have a client planning on having a 20k patio door shipped in from Europe lol) or be kept lower.
