7 TIPS TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT BARNDOMINIUM PLANS FOR Virginia 

If you live in Virginia here are a few things you need to consider before choosing a barndo plan.

1. WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

2. WILL YOUR LIFE LOOK DIFFERENT IN THE NEXT 5-7 YEARS?

3. WHAT DOES YOUR LOT LOOK LIKE?

4. WHAT STYLE OF HOME DO YOU LOVE?

This is a big one and you do not want to compromise if you can help it. Build what you love. We realize that sometimes you have to compromise and settle for less than your dreams. But try your best to choose something as close to your dream home as you can. We even suggest building a slightly smaller house if it will help you build the style of home you love. There’s nothing worse than having regrets and wishing you had chosen a different house plan than you did. So don’t rush it, and keep searching until you find the perfect plan or you decide to build your own custom plan.

5. ONE STORY OR TWO HOUSE PLAN?

Many families in Virginia love one-story barndominium homes, they are more quiet since there is no foot traffic from the second story. You may notice a lot of ranch style homes in your area, but a ranch style house plan is more expensive to build than a two story house. That’s because it is always cheaper to build up than it is to build out. A single story barndominium house has more roof and more foundation, these two factors add a tremendous about to the building costs. Families with smaller children tend to choose barndo house plans that have a master bedroom on the second floor. This allows them to be near their children’s rooms. Either way, most likely the style of home you choose will dictate if the house will be a one-story home or a two-story house plan.
