A Kit Is Only the Shell

Barndominium kits are factory-made packages, typically a steel or wood post-frame structure with roof and wall panels, trim, doors and fasteners. In the Upstate, buyers like kits because the price of the shell is known up front. What a kit does not include is the part that makes it a home: site prep, the foundation, utilities, insulation and the entire interior. HomeGuide notes that kit pricing excludes site prep, foundation, utilities and interior finishes.

What we do with your kit

You can buy a kit and have us prepare the site, pour the slab, erect the frame and finish it, or you can bring us a quote for a kit you are considering and we will price everything around it. Either way, the kit's engineering has to match the South Carolina Residential Code and the wind design for your location, so we confirm that before you order.

Check the anchor bolt plan

A steel kit comes with an anchor bolt layout, and the slab has to match it exactly. The bolts are part of the load path that carries roof uplift into the foundation, which state rules require. We set them from the kit's drawings and verify before the pour.

Delivery on Upstate roads

Kits arrive on large trucks. Steep driveways, sharp turns and soft red clay after rain can make delivery the hardest part of the job. We plan a firm, graveled access route and a staging area, and if a new driveway crosses a ditch, Greenville County directs culvert questions to the county for county roads and to the state for state roads.

Insulation is not optional

Many kits offer a thin insulation blanket. In a humid climate like Greenville's, close to 50 inches of precipitation a year and long humid summers, a lived-in barndo usually needs more. We price spray foam or a hybrid system separately so you can compare.

Compare kits fairly

Kit quotes vary in what they include: some cover doors, windows, gutters and insulation, others do not. We line them up side by side in our estimate so the comparison is honest.

Barndominium Kits Questions

What comes in a barndominium kit?

Usually the structural frame, roof and wall panels, trim, fasteners and often some doors. Foundation, site work, utilities, insulation upgrades and the interior are normally not included. Read each kit quote carefully, since contents differ.

Can you build a kit I already bought?

Yes. Send us the drawings and the material list. We confirm the anchor bolt plan, check for missing pieces and price the site work, slab, erection and finish.

Is a kit cheaper than a custom barndominium?

The shell price is more predictable, but the shell is a smaller share of the total than most people expect. Site work, foundation, insulation and interior finish usually cost more than the kit itself.

Do kits meet South Carolina building code?

A kit used as a home has to meet the South Carolina Residential Code and the wind design for its location. Ask the manufacturer for engineered drawings for your county; the building permit will need them.
