[@JoeBlow-ub1us]

I mean for the price, you get a really good starting point for your build. Very cool.

[@B00GPowell]

Super interesting I really enjoyed the fast sequencing and descriptions during the funding expenditure. Still a lot of work and funding left to go through but its dry and secure. I'll be looking for the next episodes. These barndominiums are pretty cool.

[@BlaZiN_MaiZe]

This looks like Ryan Knorr's new home. Nicely built.

[@MrPostFrame]

It is!

[@lotus65]

Assuming water service is to the lot, add septic, plumbing, electrical, appliances, finishes, all the other stuff I'm not thinking of. Better bring a half-million to that table! Super cool time lapse and build though. Probably the best I've seen on the 'tubes.

[@lukebrown1484]

Great video. After becoming involved with an unscrupulous contractor (due to my own stupidity) in Central Utah it's so refreshing and uplifting to see how a job can be accomplished professionally and honestly.

[@MrPostFrame]

Sorry to hear you had a poor experience. It’s hard to imagine being dishonest with folks about their homes

[@mattzobell19]

Hey Luke! If you dont mind me asking who the contractor was? I am in central Utah as well and we are looking for a contractor to do just about everything. I would love to be able to do some of it but can't due to health. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

[@lukebrown1484]

@@mattzobell19 I'm busy right now but I'll get back to you shortly with some information and advice. I learned the hard way on this one, never had an issue before this.

[@lukebrown1484]

@@mattzobell19 The issues we are having is with Hola Construction and Concrete. The numerous issues are with 'work' done and work not done but paid for. I could get into specific issues if you want. To steer you in the right direction you should never pay for work and supplies prior to completion. That is what they did here and it has gone nowhere except down the drain. Excuse after excuse time after time. Nothing completed but more money demanded for jobs not completed. My brother was in construction most of his adult life and he advised never to put money up front. Also, research their contractor licence as the person we are dealing with is using one that is not even his. If you have time you can find videos on KZbin from Detroit with Rob Wolchek on dishonest contractors and they are very interesting and appropriate. Good luck.

[@brianwills4398]

That's sucks, sorry to hear that. My brother is a contractor and screwed over a few people . Same thing with the excuses and nothing to code.. When it comes to your home do it once and do it right.

Planning to build in the next few years on my property. I’ve been debating a traditional home vs barndominium. Have been skeptical of the barndominium route (especially without a basement) but this video may have tipped the scale for me. I love what you did with this!

[@YeetmanSkeetman]

Why not just also build a basement?

[@dustinhansen7228]

Could always just put in a storm shelter if that's what you want a basement for.

[@AlekPhillips]

1 with the space of the shop you dont really need a basement. 2 you could add a basement under the living space if you wanted too

[@smeaglerG]

@@YeetmanSkeetman The dude constrains himself within "buzz terms" and would never think to put a basement in a "barndominium" strictly because he believes that basements only belong in "homes" solely based on language without any real life context. It probably broke him when you asked that.

[@nativeloup]

Not sure where you live but a coworker recently got the estimate on a 2500 sqft stick built house on his property. No garage, just house and the best quote he got was $425,000.

[@christisstanley2348]

Love the video and build. Liked, shared and subscribed, best video ive seen. Thank you

[@mooseknuckle_4474]

Have watched several of your videos. The MAD county build series l watched religiously. Had l never seen one of your videos and this was the first one l’d watched, the dollar counter in the corner would be enough for me to subscribe. One more addition l would say would ice it for you would be a day counter. I understand days for builds are dependent on several factors. Weather, worker availability, equipment availability, material availability, etc. But a general idea of build times will help your potential customer base tremendously with deciding to use you. Just a thought, but keep up the excellent work and content.

Here I am excited to see my dream home. And then I find out it is for my buddy Ryan! lol.

[@MrPostFrame]

Lol yep!

[@justincrasi4638]

Just so everyone knows, the rule of thumb on labor usually = cost of material. also the poster stated they only handled the frame, not interiors. so the final cost on this build is probably like 3x $216k

[@KELEVRA004]

plus cost of land, permitting, etc so I'd say anywhere from 750 to 800k total before furnishing depending on plot size

[@JoeBlow-ub1us]

The interior framing cost is included in the $216k though.

[@midwestoutlaw3194]

Labor is way closer to material x2 than 1 to 1

[@dmbworks8094]

definitely in the future for me and my cnc machines.

[@shawnc5245]

We built our home just like this 6 years ago. Without the land, out Barn shell was about $145K for a 120x48 shell. The interior home, plus 4 hobby rooms on the other end of the building, and a basement, totals around 6000 sq. feet under air, with a big enough shop/garage to park 7 or 8 cars easily. The interior, plus the basement was probably another 250K. We did ALOT of work ourselves, and a few small thungs are still unfinished but, it was by far the most for my money we have ever gotten on a house.

[@antarinthestuy4538]

Love that porch

[@southwestoffroad]

I love this. Justice need to find the right place to build. (And sell my current house)

[@cryptochris247]

Great video - why did you choose to pour the slab after the walls were up? Also building the structure like this i assume has a lower wind rating for areas like South FL that gets hurricanes? Thank you kindly.

[@brockkies8566]

Great video! Is there a way to see the inside living space and what kind of room it has? Looking at going this route with a home and would like to see what the inside of the living quarters turned out like. I have to sell my wife on it and that is a big factor for her. If nothing else is there somewhere we can see the floor plan?

[@ecrist]

Cool videos and you got a new subscriber! Is there no need for some steel in the pier footings with some tie in to the post brackets?

We will be going barndo in the next couple years. We are relocating from TX to TN. This video enlightened me, since my build will be smaller with single story living space < 16 ft ceilings in shop so maybe a loft over the living space, and I had not even considered the spray foam so I am glad I watched. Can you tell us if this type of build is more or less expensive than a poured slab and metal building please? Thank you.

new to the channel... Are things like plumbing, electrical, tile work, finishing, not included?

[@David-th2ug]

Thankyou, really enjoyed watching it all come together. Clearly a way to go. Unfortunately I live in England where the price of wood alone would be extortionate and I doubt if permission would be granted for a variety of reasons. Pity. A home like that would be ideal for me.

[@seanlathbury5410]

Brilliant way to edit and cost a video build! Thank you. I feel bad asking but did you do more for the interior?

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching and no we let the homeowner take over contracting past what you see here

[@diywithbrad]

Great video, thank you for sharing the costs. Im curious why OSB isn't used to wrap the outside of the building before the wrap? Does the spray insulation negate the need?

[@MrPostFrame]

The metal actually negates the need. Metal gives the structure its shear strength. Closed cell spray foam adds additional stability.

[@brianflannigans5874]

u brought me your book to grade tonight, ill have it graded before u wake up in the morning, then u can be on your way

[@retchilheatherly7143]

Im just curious How much did you pay for ur utility bill monthly? Were trying to build like this big at our farm.

[@petermini1025]

This is the second one of these builds I’ve watch. I’d there no insulation in the ceiling of the building? Thank you for the education on these types of builds.

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks for watching. The homeowners added insulation in the attic after we left, this was a project we partially contracted

[@FirstRespondersAudits]

maybe so, but that would be between him the home owner. dont you think

Is there any reinforcing steel in those drilled foundation shafts? If no, why not?

hey brother awesome video. the only thing I can think to improve video is for you to incorporate elapsed time. maybe by day number 1,2,4,10,.. etc so viewers can get a feel of how much actual time goes by.

[@Vynoslivost]

​@@MrPostFrameI know I'm watching while working, but did I miss plumbing and electrical? Did someone else do it so you didn't include it or is the customer about to tear down a lot of work to add that in? Also, what's the owner's channel so I can hopefully get a full cost breakdown of a finished build?

[@yu-ger-bloob-highway3521]

[@MrPostFrame]

Thanks 👍, Blown in fiberglass was put above the ceiling for insulation.

[@mattpavelko777]

How do you affix the bottom plate of the interior walls to the floor? With the heating tubes in there, do you run the risk of nailing through them? GREAT VIDEOS!

[@MrPostFrame]

Our slabs are 5-6” thick. Tubes sit at the bottom of slab. We have a good 3” to anchor the walls with no problems.

[@MrPostFrame]

We hope to give a final tour of this build once the client finishes the interior.

[@hokiebaji]

Great construction quality and video. Wondering the cost of land, septic, water well, gas/electric heating, roof insulation, finishing interior. Would I be correct at 400-500k? Where is your company located?

[@ohcanada7838]

I noticed that you were using 2 x 6's x 4 pcs to make the perimeter posts. Was that done to reduce the amount of twist & warp that 6 x 6 or 6 x 9 full posts are notorious for? Great job.

[@donovanflannery952]

can I ask. I'm used to seeing metal bracing here in Australia... I don't see you use and bracing... only temporary bracing... does the roof sheeting become the entice brace

[@throttle_down_beers_up]

If you think about it for a 2800 sq ft home you will pay double that so all in that’s a good deal. Solid structure for a good price. Great job nice building.

[@MrPostFrame]

We agree! Thanks!

[@Wanderlust073]

Yeah you also get minor things like a kitchen, some bathrooms, drywall... The 'dominium' parts of the barndominium are where the real costs start to add up.

[@billloucks3494]

When do you put windows in your barndo and what does it mean to be dried in. Does it have windows and doors

[@davez5941]

Curious the inside was not finished only framed out? Do you have basic plans or dimensions of this one?

[@1974jrod]

Unless I missed something, You foamed the garage walls, but the ceiling has nothing for insulation.

[@MrPostFrame]

It does now. Homeowner handled that on their own

[@grizztough4091]

Wonder how they did it after it looked to be all buttoned up?

[@mehill7786]

I’d think it would be real easy to do blow in insulation after it was buttoned up.

Attics like that typically are not insulated, you insulate the ceiling.
