Industry Leading Barndominium Designs Built for Living

After three decades in post-frame construction, we’ve partnered with Back Forty Building Co.—a family-operated architecture firm offering some of the best barndominium design plans in the industry.

Have a look at our favorite floor plans and layouts. We think there’s something for everyone, but if you feel these designs don’t quite meet your unique needs, reach out for a custom quote on design modifications.
