Barndominiums
Barndominium Builder in North Alabama
Home, garage, shop and porches under one roof. Bama-Barns LLC designs and builds barndominiums on your land across North Alabama, post-frame or stick-built.
Why Alabama Families Choose a Barndominium
A barndominium combines a comfortable home with the space rural property owners actually use: a big garage, a shop, storage and long covered porches. They suit Alabama acreage, family land and anyone who wants room to work at home.
Barndominium specialists are at the heart of Bama-Barns. We help you choose a layout, decide between post-frame and stick-built construction, and plan the site work and utilities your land needs.
Post-Frame or Stick-Built?
Post-Frame Barndominiums
Posts and trusses carry the load, which allows large clear spans for shops and great rooms and can reduce framing cost on simple building shapes.
Stick-Built Barndominiums
Traditional wall framing with a barn-style exterior. Familiar to more lenders, appraisers and inspectors, and flexible for complex floor plans.
A barndominium is not automatically post-frame. Read our full comparison: stick-built vs. post-frame construction in Alabama.

Planning Your Barndominium
- Start with the land. Access, slope, septic, well and power shape the budget as much as the building does.
- Choose a plan. One of our models, your own drawings or a new design. We will tell you when engineer-stamped plans are required.
- Get a complete quote. Know exactly what is included. See 10 questions to ask before hiring a barndominium builder.
- Line up financing. Involve your lender before the design is final. Financing options.
Barndominium Questions
How much does a barndominium cost in Alabama?
Our barndominium models start at $299,900 before land and site costs. The total depends on size, framing method, foundation, finishes, garage or shop space and especially site work and utilities.
Can a barndominium include a shop or large garage?
Yes. Garage and shop space is one of the main reasons people choose a barndominium. The Clifford, for example, has a 35' x 25' attached garage.
Can I finance a barndominium?
Many barndominiums are financed with construction loans. Some lenders are very familiar with post-frame homes and some are not, so talk with your lender early about the framing method you plan to use.
