Provisional estimate, pending a final material takeoff — not a firm price. The steel shell alone runs roughly $15/sf; windows, doors, garage doors, and all interior finish are priced separately and vary by selections. Delivered all-in pricing (shell, foundation, and finish) is currently targeting $200–240/sf, with a goal of reaching the $200/sf range on the right lot. Contact us for a firm quote based on your acreage and plans.

What's in the shell, and what's not

The steel barndominium starts as a structure-only shell, built by our steel partner in Missouri and shipped to your lot. Windows, doors, garage doors, and all interior finish are quoted separately, based on your selections.

  • Exterior steel framing
  • Exterior metal siding
  • Standing-seam metal roof
  • Precut window & door openings
  • Windows & doors
  • Garage doors
  • All interior finish (insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinets, plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
  • Foundation, delivery & site work

Built off-site in Missouri, finished on your acreage

The exterior shell — steel framing, siding, and metal roof, with window and door openings precut — is factory-built by our steel partner and shipped to your lot. Renovar handles the foundation, delivery, and all interior finish. It's a faster, more budget-friendly path than fully site-built framing, especially on larger rural footprints.

Faster to build

The exterior shell is built off-site while your foundation and site work get prepped, so there's less time with an active jobsite on your property.

Budget-friendlier

A steel exterior shell typically costs less per square foot than fully site-built framing — especially valuable on the larger footprints common to rural and acreage lots.

A modern look, worth the tradeoff

Steel siding and standing-seam metal roofing give a clean, contemporary exterior. The honest tradeoff: steel is harder to remodel or reconfigure later than wood framing.
