    Our California Barndominiums are Built With the Area In Mind

     

    Building a California barndominium requires a customized approach to ensure the structure meets specific environmental and regulatory standards. Our team begins by assessing the unique conditions of your site, including the climate, topography, and local building codes. 

    We use this evaluation to guide our design process and to help determine the optimal placement of your California barndominium. We’ll also choose materials that are best suited for the local weather. For example, if your area is prone to wildfires, we’ll use fire-resistant materials to enhance your home’s resilience. 

    The Pacific Pole Buildings team works closely with our customers to customize their barndominiums. We’ll tailor layouts, finishes, and design elements to suit every clients’ needs. We also offer a variety of options for changing floor plans, exterior finishes, and interior details.

From initial concept to final construction, our experts are committed to delivering the perfect design for your California property.

    Creating Your California Barndominium: 7 Steps To Minimize Time and Costs

     

    1. Building Requirements

      Not all building departments are on the same page, so you’ll need to contact your local building department and ask for a written copy of the specific building requirements they need.
    2. Determining Costs

      You can assume $80 to $120 per square foot for materials and labor to determine the cost. We suggest that you begin searching for a lender right away to see if you qualify. We have used several and can make recommendations. When you talk with them,  get specifics on how they release the money, whether deposits are required, etc.
    3. Engineered Plans

      Meet with our design specialists to create a rough draft of exterior dimensions and interior designs. Our formal engineered plans currently cost $1.30 per square foot of living space and 60¢ per square foot for garage or shop space.

      Engineered plans may take four to six weeks to complete. We include this cost in our deposit, representing about 33% of the total material.
    4. Finding the Right Contractors

      Begin looking for several contractors to complete your building. Pole barn builders may need more expertise to complete the interior finish work, and finish carpenters may not be able to construct a pole barn.

      You will also need someone to do the site prep, electrical, and plumbing. Depending on your specific California location, we can refer you to pole barn contractors.
    5. Permits

      Submit the required paperwork, site plan, building plans, and truss engineering to your building department as soon as possible. It typically takes three to six weeks to issue permits. Also note that if changes to the plans are required, there could be minimal additional costs.
    6. Materials

      With final permits in hand, we work with the builder to provide a material list needed to complete your building. Our second deposit covers all the structural material—poles, trusses, sidewall girts, roof purlins, and roof or wall sheeting. Our last deposit is for the wall and roof material, which can be metal, wood, composition, or a combination.
    7. Building Your Barndominium

      The exterior can go up quickly in three to six weeks, which allows you to begin lining up specialty contractors to begin work on the inside. Whether you purchase interior materials from Pacific Pole Buildings or independently, we can provide what you need to complete your building.

    California Barndominium FAQs

    Can You Have a Barndominium in California?

     

    Yes, barndominiums are allowed in California, but zoning laws limit where they can be built. If you’re hoping to build a California barndominium, check with your city to review zoning laws, building codes, and more.

     

    How Much Does It Cost To Build a Barndominium in California?

     

    The cost to build a California barndominium depends on several factors including the size of your structure and the finishes you choose. You can determine an estimated cost by calculating $80-120 per square foot of space you’ll need.

    Building a barndominium is typically less than a wood-frame building. Contact Pacific Pole Buildings to request a quote for your specific barndominium in California.

     

    How Long Do Barndominiums Last?

     

    Our barndominium kits use the highest-quality materials to ensure a structure that will last. At Pacific Pole Buildings, we also assess the topography, climate, and soil of the area you’d like your barndominium to sit to ensure you’re choosing the best location for a structure that will last a lifetime.

     

    Are Barndominiums Difficult To Insure?

     

    They can be. Barndominiums are a specialized and unique type of building, so it may take some more work to get them fully insured. Our team at Pacific Pole Buildings can help you with this process and offer advice.

     

    Are Barndominiums Energy Efficient?

    Yes! Barndominiums are energy efficient and will help you reduce your carbon footprint. When our team creates the blueprint that we include with your barndominium kit, we’ll make recommendations for insulation and weatherization to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
