How much to build our pole barn house?? Plus a tour!

[@gregfritz8102]

I built my house 5 years ago, looks very similar. Even have a green wall (accent wall), mine is a three bedroom, house is 1738 sq ft, great room is 20x30, master is 14x17, (eventually will be 2nd living area) master will be moved upstairs, with 800'+ to build master, master bath, closet etc., it's already framed out, just needs sheetrock lighting, electrical, etc. The house itself is 30x50, with "current master" 14x17 on the very back

[@ACO-Amy]

That's awesome Andrew. Even with prices going crazy, ya'll did amazing. I'm so excited for you guys, and can't wait to watch the floor install video.

[@marshadodson9683]

I love the wood on your house especially the ceiling. It's beautiful 😍. So happy for you and Tiffany. God bless.

[@TKCL]

Thank you very much

[@Bella-gj6wc]

I actually had “stippled ceilings (which I HATE), in my kitchen, and my fireplace/tv room. I had a guy put the same wood on the veilings, then had him paint them white. It’s beautiful, and he used very inexpensive wood to do it. I also have it on the ceiling of my covered porch, with a big fan. I personally loved the pull out linen closet in the bathroom! Now that’s a GREAT idea!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Absolutely AMAZING! Love your blueprint and plans! Can’t wait to see the design of the master walk-in closet and kitchen pantry! Impressed with the HVAC system. Excited to see the walkthrough on your finished home. Congratulations!

Very thorough tour!! You did such a great job with your house and keeping the costs down. 👏 Our stick built 1600 sq ft farm house (in-laws quarters) that we are wrapping up is $81 sq ft and doesn't include septic, flooring, paint or appliances.....and although built to hurricane code, it's not nearly as well-built as yours. We're just hoping material pricing changes before we start our forever home in January 2024. Again congratulations!!!

[@TKCL]

I hope so for you, these prices can't stay this high forever.

[@charleskiplinger9904]

Very well done! Love the attention to detail you've made. It is well thought out. Would like to have something similar in a two bedroom. I'd add a BAF on the porch, and do the stairs inside in a wrought iron spiral to add to the usable sq. footage downstairs, and it would go well with the exposed black trusses. You could also take a small section inside the attic to set up as an office area and use the loft as a media room.

[@geofreypejsa54]

Wonderful job Andrew. Good to see Tiffany more on the video too! You both deserve this beautiful build.

[@EyesWideOpen2]

@@TKCL I'm new to your channel. To clarify, you did a great deal of work/labor on your beastly beautiful home yourself? So to put it into perspective a common person with little construction ability would have to factor in additional costs for labor and permits correct?

[@TKCL]

Yes that's correct, however this is the first home I've ever built. I researched, learned, listened to others and went after it. That price does include paid labor for the slab, roof, tile shower, septic and drywall. Almost everything else I did myself.

[@Bella-gj6wc]

@@TKCL well, you’re right about the prices. I watched one show where the guy quoted I think 150.00 a sq ft. Someone commented that that’s an “outlandish” price. Well it may be, but if you can’t do it yourself, or have the time to do it, you’re at the mercy of someone else. Frankly, I don’t mind paying THAT price, IF it includes the whole build/turnkey, AND if they can get to it, do it, and not take 5 years to get it done. It gives me huge anxiety to even think about entering into this kind of thing, because of my two experiences building a two car garage, followed a few years later by the addition of a master bath.

A good idea for your stairs to the loft would be to have them made out of steel and paint them black. Sort of an industrial look similar to the trusses. That way you don’t have to build any support walls which would make your living room feel smaller.

Andrew never heard of anyone including the porch in the cost per square foot. It is normally living space. Even at 1700 sq. ft. you are still under $100.00 a square foot. The house is looking great and man that pantry is a dream for any person that loves to cook. Tiffany will love it. You are getting so close, bet your excited..

[@TKCL]

Contractors have been including everything under roof here for years. Our last home that we had under contract to build had 900 Sq ft of porches and those were factored into the total square footage. I don't agree with it, but it's how things are totaled here. Just like the loft square footage is factored in as heated and cooled, but it should be cheaper because there's no more concrete or roof needed to make that space liveable.

Thats freaking awesome!!! $59 a square ft but I’m guessing you different figure in you labor ? I’m so happy for you both and so glad I am part of this channel / family. I tip my hat to Andrew for your over build over due them you have . I have a lot of that in me also . When your done with the home and get all the figures done up would you consider getting it appraised? I would bet it would be greatly greatly above the cost for you to build . But would be very interesting to see basically what you’ve saved doing it yourself . Great great job sir as always .

[@TKCL]

I have been very curious about the appraisal! No I didn't factor in labor, but at the end I'll deduct my price from the average price being built around me for a crude measurement of what I saved/earned. It's way into the 6 figure area.
