Custom Designed or Pick a Plan
Working with General Steel is a collaborative process that ensures that your final product reflects your specific needs. The process starts with a two-way conversation between you and our experienced team. We want to know exactly how you will be using your barndominium, how it will fit on your property, and your ideas for interior and exterior design, among other factors. We then research the location of the barndominium to ensure that it’s equipped to withstand the wind and snow loads of your area as well as any insulation requirements.
Once we get an idea of what building kit best suits your project, we work with you to add customization options, including a wide variety of doors, windows, and exterior color schemes. The ease of steel construction allows us to modify layouts and add further customizations without breaking your budget. From design to construction, we provide the materials and expertise to transform a building kit into a beautiful home.
Durable and Versatile
Steel is renowned for its strength, but one of the primary benefits of purchasing a steel building for your barndominium is its versatility. Our building kits our designed according to use, which means we are able to modify floor layouts as well as include customization options that reflect precisely how you want your barndominium to look on the inside and out.
Steel is the world’s premier building material because of its strength and durability. General Steel buildings are produced using 100-percent, American-made steel that adheres to the industry’s most stringent technical specifications. When you’re building a barndominium that will shelter your family, safety should be at the forefront of any conversation.
