BARNDOMINIUMS
A barndominium is a home built with post-frame construction that combines finished living space with a large functional area such as a shop, garage, or RV bay under one roof. Finished as a primary residence, it has the same bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and insulation as any conventional house.
The ultimate combination of home and workspace, engineered for durability and designed for the way you actually live and work.
THE BEST OF
BOTH WORLDS.
Barndominiums have become one of the most popular build types in rural Idaho, and for good reason. Our guide to what a barndominium actually is covers the basics in plain English. They offer the functionality of a large shop or garage combined with the comfort of a fully finished living space, all under one efficient structure.
At NEXGEN Building Group, we design and build barndominiums that are tailored to how you actually use your property. Whether you need a large shop for equipment, a dedicated workspace for a home business, or simply want the flexibility of open-span living, we build it right.
Our barndominiums are built with metal post-frame construction, proven to be durable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. Still weighing your options? Compare a barndominium against a custom home. Every build includes our lifetime structural warranty.
