This home features an innovative approach to the barndominium genre… Some inspiration is derived from the architecture on Santorini Island in Greece – vis-a-vis curved roof forms and white stucco. The materials used to build the majority of this “Quonset hut” system are comprised of sheets of metal 10’ in length and 2’ wide in a modified “V” shape with curvature designed to your specific span needs and shipped worldwide. Spans are totally self-supporting and can reach maximum spans as wide as 150’ and to any length in 2’ increments. Panels are predrilled and every bolt is exactly the same. Pieces can be easily assembled on the ground and stood up by unskilled labor and fastened in place with minimal tools. Perfect for remote locations with unskilled labor. Foundations must be completed prior to erection of panels, but the basic structure is completed once in place. Details provide direction as to how to attach sheetrock and leave space for electrical/mechanical systems. Some creative liberties were taken with regards to the use of partial Q-panels to create wide expanses of glass for view. Steel columns and beams in conjunction with a special bent plate connector allow for overhangs of the system as needed. Partial concrete walls provide a slight boost in height where connector plates attach the Quonset roof system. Additional contemporary styled flat roofs and angled beam supports create exterior living spaces that wrap the structure and complement its form.

  • Exterior Elevations – All elevations at ¼” = 1’-0” scale in most cases. Some older designs may contain 1/8” scale side and rear elevations. Drawing will indicate overall configuration of home at each side view and make note of plate heights, roof overhangs, window header heights, roof pitches, materials used and extent to which they are used and enlargement of any details we feel necessary to explain the construction.
  • Building Sections – ¼” = 1’-0” building sections are included when there is no other reasonable way to indicate the volumetric/height conditions in the home. Most of this information can usually be determined from the exterior elevations.

  • Framing Plans – ¼” – 1’-0” scale framing plans indicating size and spacing of members as well as bracing and blocking required for structural purposes. Local codes will most likely need to be consulted.

FAQs

Are designs on Houseplans ready to submit to my building department for permitting?

It depends on where you're building. Our plans contain enough information for a professional builder to construct your home, but your local government may require additional information before permitting. We strongly advise that you talk with your builder before you get started. If you are building for yourself, we recommend visiting your local building department to start your diligence. Read more here.

Can I make changes to a plan?

Absolutely! Our modification service allows you to customize almost anything - whether it's adding an extra garage bay, adjusting square footage, changing the roof pitch, or more, the plan modification service is a great value and can be completed quickly. Additionally, if you purchase an electronic plan set (PDF or CAD), you may have the option to make changes locally. CAD files offer the most flexibility for custom edits. Just let us know what you're thinking, and we’ll provide an estimate and timeframe to get started. Learn more here.

How much does a house cost to build?

Find out! Build costs vary based on the size of the home, materials used, and local rates for goods and labor. Our Cost to Build report is a great way to get some basic costs dialed in before you order your plans. Just plug in your postal code, select your desired construction quality, and we'll calculate for you.
