Barndominiums
Barndominiums that start with a stronger shell
A barndo is only as good as its bones. CLSC barndominium shells use cold-formed steel beams instead of wood framing — fireproof, termite proof, and stronger than concrete — with porches, gambrel roofs, and wraparound options designed around your floor plan.
Single story, two story, and loft layouts
Front porch and wraparound porch options
Gambrel and slant roof profiles
All window and door cuts included in the shell

Questions, answered
How much does a steel barndominium shell cost?
Our 18 × 24 backyard bardo with a 6-foot porch is $15,000, and a 16 × 30 barndo with an 8-foot porch lean-to is $22,000 — both delivered and installed east of the Mississippi. Larger custom barndos are quoted to your plan.
Can I finish the interior myself?
Yes. The shell includes walls, beams, roof, and all window and door cuts; interior build-out, window dressing, and porch decor are completed by your contractor or quoted by us separately.
How strong are CLSC steel buildings?
Every building uses cold-formed steel beams and 26-gauge PBR panels, wind rated up to 155 mph and tested at our FEMA-approved wind-tunnel facility. Steel is fire resistant and termite proof.
